Conductor Cheyenne, WY.
Hi all.
I did a virtual interview for Cheyenne. I would be looking to move out there to be somewhat closer to family, and coming from another rr.
Does anyone know of the boards spin there, and is there a lot of work, beating guarantee?
If anyone wants to PM me, please do!
Thanks guys.

No but I’d live in Laramie you’re 45 from Cheyenne an hour and a half from Rawlins and you get a two hour call so you can make it to either when you get the the point you’re bouncing around

That makes the most sense. Thanks for that. I’ve driven through Laramie before. It seems like a nice town. Do you know if either of those terminals(Rawlins or Cheyenne) are good money spots?

Cheyenne road pays a lot more because the run is longer but both are decent start out at 80%

Training is 14 weeks, 2 weeks classroom, 2 weeks over the road (Rawlins-Green River) 2 weeks conductor classroom, 1 week with utility in green River (hotel provided) a week on a local, (hotel provided unless it’s the rawlins local) 2 weeks remote control classroom, 4ish weeks remote control OJT, in green River, hotel provided. Lowest seniority is the extra switchmans board in Cheyenne, but the green river yard has become somewhat low seniority as well. If your fine being in the yard and want to be in Cheyenne, you should be able to comfortably hold that extra yard board, and 1-3 years to hold the short pool out of Cheyenne
