K&ARailfan I'd really love to go to Modoc this summer, but I heavily doubt that would be possible due to constraints of the financial variety.

Stay away from Modoc. CSX and NS will NOT hire railroad "trade school" graduates. Each wants to hire you off the street and train you up "their" way. A short line might hire you out of Modoc, but usually they (at least the ones I've talked to) prefer to hire people with Class 1 experience.
Otherwise, as long as you can pass the physical, drug and personality tests, you should not problem with NS.
