I have applied for a assistant signalman jobs. Some are out of state, how do I know which of them are for a traveling gang and which are not? Also does anyone know what the hours of the traveling gangs are like?
 
Not sure how you can tell which are for gangs or not, but signalmen are covered under Hours of Service. The rules are pretty complex, but basically 12 hours max on duty. The gang travel time is SOMETIMES covered, sometimes non covered/limbo. It has to do with the on duty point, but for a mobile gang they simply change it.
