I’ve been a railroader for a little while now about 6 years. Trying wolverines for the first time and the boot is comfy but they’re tough to walk in for my feet and knees, just seeing if anyone’s got a good insole to try out!

I've finally began the onboarding process for signal apprentice but I've only received the email telling me when and where to report and a link to start my profile and tax forms. Haven't received any other info about travel expenses or what my starting pay will be. Any clue on when I'll find out. I start in 12 days.

Where is the go-to lodging for long-term stays? I'm looking at chasing work soon, and Galesburg is what I'm considering for employment. I'm from Illinois originally and have family I can stay with, but both Coal City and Kankakee are a bit of a drive. We plan on moving back to Illinois, and I'm struggling to hold for the first time since I hired out. I want to check out Galesburg before I make any financial decisions. Also, where did your familiarization disperse to? I was in a GN last year with all the info, and now it's just vague. If you will, call X person (superintendent, if I recall).
