 | I would like to know how much you get paid to be a locomotive engineer, or a conductor.
Since my closest railway is CSX that would be a good candidate

 | It's been surprisingly difficult to obtain this information so figured I'd ask here. I'm located in the Hudson Valley in New York if that makes any difference, but I'm wondering where exactly you go to apply for training to start on the path to being a locomotive engineer or rather what the steps are. Thanks in advance for any and all information/links/advice/etc.

 | I am 16 years old. It has been my dream to become a Locomotive Engineer. I have always wanted to drive trains ever since i can remember. How do I go about it? Where do I start? What are the requirements? What should I have as far as education goes? Are there any good programs in colleges that have to do with train crews or train engineering? I dont really care whether it is on a passenger or a freight railroad. Advice for both would definitly help. I have done some research before and I found some information, but I would like to get some information from other people as well. How do I become a locomotive engineer? What is the process? Current or former locomotive engineers would certainly help a lot!!

 | I asked a similar question earlier but I need to put it in another catagory. Im taking a reading comp test today for a job with UP. I know I will pass cause reading is my strong suit. If I get hired, which one of these jobs should I shoot for in my training class?
An entry level train person may be immediately assigned to switch person, brake person, or conductor assignments. A train crew member may also be required to qualify as a Remote Control Operator (RCO) or Locomotive Engineer.
Actually, I only have to take the one reading test and a physical. Unless the lady on the phone lied to me! If I get hired, the first 14 weeks of employment is classroom and outdoor training. I know about the background check, I dont have anything to hide. Im just trying to find out which one of these jobs is best.
