Has anyone ever worked for C.S.X. railroad and then went to work for B.N.S.F?

My husband is thinking about trying to get a job with them and us moving to Kingman Az,We were wondering if it is hard to get on with them.He has been an engineer with C.S.X. for 13 years.

With prior experience he will have an excellent chance of getting hired next time they need someone.
That might be a month or a year, you did not say waht department he is looking for, they have done a lot of hiring in operating dep't the last few years and I would expect that to continue.

He's going to be starting all over again with his seniority. BNSF does not transfer seniority from a previous carrier to BNSF. The working conditions ARE better but he'll be the "low" guy again. There really isn't much hiring going on at the time so there is no "need" for him. They might give him special consideration for working on the railroad previously but with our unions and agreements, he can't just come over and retain his seniority. Back to day 1 for him and back to conductor training. Once he can bid on engineer jobs due to his seniority, he'll be back in the seat. Good luck
