As for your question, I realize that railroading is a career and not just a job. I would prefer to get training ahead of applying so I may know if railroading is even for me. <br />Why all the talk about BNSF. From what I hear BNSF is the finest railroad to work on. However they're 5 other class 1's and hundreds of regionals and shortlines. Each governed by their own set of rules and regulations. Modoc told me they would give me a good and safe foundation to build my career. When contacting NARRS I left a message. When contacting MODOC I spoke with a person. When learning I want to feel, touch and smell. I don't want to sit in front of a simulator. During my tour of MODOC they explained to me, that if I went to a class 1or ANY railroad for that matter, I would have to go through their training also. But with MODOC's training in my pocket, the railroads training will be easier. I have been given so much food for thought, I need to step back and digest. My decision of school or no school, railroad or no railroad is yet to come. Thanks for all the advice. Stay cool and be safe.
