Are there any railroad jobs in New Hampshire? I work for Union Pacific now as a conductor and if I moved to New Hampshire I'd like to get another job with a railroad. Does anyone know what kind of opportunities there are for that kind of work?

I spent two summers on a KCSRR section gang, which convinced me to finish my degree. 

My dad and grandfather were both career operators/agents on the KCS.

I don't know anything about the job market, but there are definitely railroads throughout New England. There are no major through-routes, but there are many local, regional, "Occasional" lines for freight, and multiple scenic tour passenger lines that are seasonal.

I doubt you'll find a conductor job in NH that pays what you can get in Texas on the UP, but I certainly could be wrong.

There is Amtrak service with the hub in Boston, runs up and down the coast, possibly into Vermont as well.
There are several freight lines, I know in Mass and VT, plus the lines that runs coal to the power plant in Bow.
I have a friend who works as a railroad engineer if you'd like some more leads.

There are passenger lines in NH and every bordering state (Amtrak, Mt. Washington, the massive T system in Boston and more) and into CT/NY and so on. There are also freight lines all over all of those states, also going up to Canada. I don't know much about job openings, though. I only know 1 person in the railroad industry. The person works on a seasonal passenger line, but in the entertainment industry. Sorry I cannot be of much help but I'd think with Google or Bing you could find lots of useful stuff.
