3. Railroads are playing a double take. Many are requiring you to take a railroad conductors training course which costs you between $5000 to $6500 between classes, hotel, meals, travel, etc. Once you complete the training, there is no reimbursement for this expense, and it is NOT tax deductible. What was happening right after I was in school, and spent that money, was some were required to take the course, and then others were hired right off the street not requiring it. Watch out for the double take! <br /> <br />I will say this: The training I received excelled my understanding tremendously, however, I was indoctrinated with the concept that the course gave 30 years of practical experience in 5 weeks. This is sheer non-sense, and if you make the mistake of taking that and running, when you get to your assignment, you will anger veterans. What they teach in the course may differ to what's on the ground!
