IF YOU WHERE LIKE ME, AND WANTED TO BE A LOCOMOTIVE ENIGNEER, FIRST THINGS FIRST. LOOK ON THE INTERNET FOR CLASS 1 RAIL ROADS, AND FIND INFORMATION ON HOW THEY HIRE NEW PEOPLE. CSX HIRES PEOPLE FROM THE CONDUCTOR SCHOOLS THAT THEY SET UP IN DIFFERNT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. YOU WILL START OUT AS A CONDUCTOR WITH ANY CLASS 1 RAIL ROAD BECOUSE OF THE NATIONAL UNION AGREEMENTS WITH THE UTU (UNITED TRANSPORTATION UNION) AND THE BLE (BROTHERHOOD OF LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS). IF YOU GET HIRED, IT WILL BE ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFOR YOU BECOME AN ENGINEER. THEY WILL CALL YOU INTO ENGINEERS SCHOOL WHEN THE COMPANY IS READY FOR YOU. IT MAY BE A FEW YEARS..OR AS IT WAS IN MY CASE WITH CSX, AS SOON AS I WAS DONE WITH THE ON THE JOB TRAINING PART OF BEING A CONDUCTOR. THE MASTER PLAN WITH CLASS ONE RAIL ROADS IS FOR A MERGING OF THE T&E (TRAINMEN AND ENGINEER) CRAFTS, MAKING CONDUCTORS AND ENGINEERS INTERCHANGABLE JOBS. SO AS LONG AS YOU GET YOUR FOOT IN THE DOOR, AND STICK IT OUT, YOU WILL BECOME AN ENGINEER!...BUT LET ME WARN YOU...IT IS A VERY DIFFERNT LIFE!!!
