Work really hard!! Study the rules,as for BNSF you have a 15-17 week training program where you will be a conductor,RCO operator,and a brakeman/switchman.after you pass your rules exams ( there`s 2 test the RCO and conductors ) Hold those extraboards and when you can hold a local ( you learn alot on those jobs ) and after a couple years or so go to the engineers program,never been there but I heard you have to study,study,and study,and the simulators are a real pain. When you hire out,STUDY! Not just the GCOR,the ABTH EVERYTHING and keep your SSIs and that entire book updated. Oh the oldheads will give you a run-for-your money! Good luck!
