Any railroad employees?

I took a tractor trailer driving course at CC in mid 70's. I went job hunting and went to work for FEC in florida. The job was taking trailers that were brought in on rail cars to the customer or pick up trailers to be shipped out on the train. The first thing when hired I had a beard and told to be clean shaved when I reported to work. I walk into driver's room and I am the only white guy. The pay at the time was $5.00 an hour for everybody didn't matter if first day or 30 years. You had a start time but you didn't get off until the last trailer was delivered. After 6 months they tried to get me in management as I keep the drivers stirred up over pay and treatment. I passed on management so they told me I had to go on midnights driving the ramp ( at the time the trains were loaded with a ramp tractor). Suspened 10 days till I qualified to drive the ramp on my on time as had to wait when things were slow. I was a little hard headed so I stayed to show the boss ( Mr Deal) that I wasn't going away quietly. I drove the ramp midnight til whenever last train would come in for about 6 weeks and saw a few guys get hurt as the equipment was crap and poorly maintained. One night while unloading a very heavy trailer the gang plank between flats broke and rear wheel of ramp tractor fell through and almost rolled over. The trailer came down on landing gear and kept it upright but scared the crap out of me. When Mr Deal came in I told him to take the job and shove it. There isn't any way I would suggest railroad as a place to work.
