Working at Norfolk Southern Railway in Decatur, IL: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Decatur, IL Area

"I'm not sure where this article got its information, but I have been a heavy equipment operator with NS for over 35 years and we do not get even close to $100,000 a year. Base pay is 28.25 per hour, or a little over $58,000 a year. I have averaged about $85,000 the last two years, by working every stick of overtime available to me. 16 hr days, 24 hr shifts, 2-3 weeks straight through without days off. Then, you can expect to be treated like dirt if you make any kind of mistake. You can make a decent living with NS, but don't expect to have a home life or a nurturing work environment because it just isn't there."
