[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by railroadchick Well it seems that everyone has an opinion. I like that. But so far the only guy that can really talk about the school is the guy that went there. I already know that being a lady I have a few more advantages than the "average joe". I don't want to take that route. I will not use my sex to get me somewhere. I rather let my skills speak for themselves. So all you "affermative action people" take a brake, I'm not interested. I do appreciate everyones opinions. I have also spoken with people from the class 1's. No one had anyhting bad to say. In fact just the opposite. I would like to challenge that guy Scott I think it was, to tell me where he would be had he not attended Modoc? [?][:D] [/quote] I can tell you this. On the BNSF NARS holds more water than MODOC. NARS is BNSF's school and TTC. I didn't go to school for this, but, I have worked with a few that have and I can say that BNSF's conductor training program and NARS uses the same materials. Not to be rude.......If you are a female and apply, your gender will be an issue, like it or not it is all about numbers. As far as letting your skills shine, unless you have RRed before, you don't really have many skills to offer per se. They are looking for a certain kind of person.....follows instruction, safety minded, blah, blah. This is why BNSF and other RRs love prior Military people. Some chicks belong on the rails and some do not. There are a few who are out here looking to win the lottery and would please me to see them gone. They get away with crap that would earn me a ticket to investigation. They can't change a knuckle or even an airhose without assistance which has laid me out more than once. They are New old heads to boot. They act like they have been here 25 years. I go look at the roster to find out they have 6mos of whiskers....WTF? Then there the few that are hard workers and are on the point. There is this one gal that is a small framed girl and she is an animal. A darn fine new hire! She is here to work and that's it! No hanky panky. There are also some female hoggers that are very good as well.
