I forgot that BNSF does want people who go to private railroad training schools. If you go to BNSF.com they will mention this under the employment section. The schools are back in the midwest if I am not mistaken, none out here on the west coast. Both UP and BNSF are top notch railroads and either one would be an excellent choice. I happen to live in the SF Bay Area and both are located here, but for you I believe that Stockton is the closest terminal for the BNSF in the Sac area. You usually have a 90 minute call from the Crew Dispatcher to be to your job location from your home and that for me always veried due to haveing to protect (work) a large area. I live in the northbay and would sometimes get called to go as far as Fremont to work a local switching job or sometimes to Davis to work up there. So keep that in mind when you go to apply for any railroad position. Ofcourse I guess you could move? Novel idea, huh!
