Hello Robert...It might be best if you hired on to a Class 1 R.R. first. If you went through the training, you would probably not have met an individual R.R.'s other requirements. One example is that most lines want you to now start out as a Switchmen, take a rules exam and pass-- and eventually, you would be required to enter the Engineer's Program at R.R. expense of course. If you came to be hired by a Co. like the B.N.S.F., with Engineer Training etc., the guy or gal who hired one day before you, would have seniority over you even though they had not yet taken the course. They would then go through the natural progression of becoming an Engineer, and be ahead of you in seniorty as an Engineer! This may sound a little confusing, but with the way Union's work, you might want to check this out. And get in writing from the R.R.'s, any promises they may give you regarding these proceedures...Good Luck...Bruce
