My experiance is similar to John's, although I'm much younger. I started working for a tourist railroad in New Jersey when I was 16. I worked my way up to student conductor and assistant passenger director within a year. Unfortunately because of company politics, my boss and I were fired for no reason last fall. (I'm 18 now). In the past couple of months I've taken my experiance with the railroad and the education I'm getting at college (Rider University) and landed a job as THE Marketing Representative for a major railroad video company. The point is that there are a lot of careers and jobs our there for someone with a passion for railroading, and they aren't all on a railroad. <br /> <br />One last IMPORTANT point. Chris: beware of management. Politics in and around shortline railroads can be the worst. There are BIG egos that you will have to contend with, even though you only want to help make a difference. On the other hand, if you CAN work around them, your experiance with a shortline tourist railroad can be very rewarding. Good luck! Let us know what happens!
