Great, thanks for the answer! I've been pondering driving trains as well, but I havent had the guts to actually apply anything yet. ;) Trains are, after all, big and scary. =)

Galtströms bruk up near Sundsvall has a train and they were looking for drivers for their train last autumn at least. =)

Is the money a factor with you working nights (I think it was mentioned elsewhere), or was it a scheduling thing that just happened and you went with it? How much control do you have over your own schedule?

Some more questions: * who is responsible for the cargo if it were to fall off or something like that, and has itever happened to you or someone you know? * do you have a favorite train or a train that you'd love to drive? * whats the biggest problem that has happened to you that you had to solve yourself, if any? * is there anything you are afraid of when you work, and what would your biggest work related fear be?
