Railroader & Railroad Worker Hats

Railroaders work a job that does not stop for supper or the holidays. Extra-board crews are on call around the clock with no scheduled days off, and when the call comes they report within about two hours. Road crews have historically gotten no holiday pay for working the holiday, and paid sick leave was generally not offered before 2022. Railroad wives describe the isolation of never knowing where a spouse is or when they are coming home, and the strain of carrying the household alone. These railroader hats are for the people who live that schedule and the families who live it with them. The badges name the job: RAILROADER, TRAIN CONDUCTOR and RAILROAD WIFE. The sentence designs carry the humor: a freight train averaging more than a mile long, some nearly three miles, that needs about a mile and a half to stop at 60 mph, and a retired railroader whose phone finally stopped ringing. I'M THE TRAIN EVERYBODY'S WAITING ON and HOLIDAYS? NEVER HEARD OF THEM each get a second colorway. This is the working railroad, a different buyer from Model Train Hats, which is for hobbyists, and from Union Member Hats. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Wear one at the crossing, or give one to the railroader whose phone never stops.
