Train drivers

I'm a conductor for CSX based out of N.C. about 1 hours east of CLT. Pay can be pretty good if you are willing to put in the hours. I put in 4,074 hours last year and on pace to put in 3,700 plus this year. Most conductor/engineers 1-5 years of service can make an average of $50,000 to $65,000 working an extraboard on call 24/7. Crew members with more than 5 years can make $60,000 to $95,000 on average. The more you choose to make the less home life you have.
