Written By: Ken HulseyLet's face it, finding a railroad job in this bad economy can be pretty rough. I can tell you from experience that getting hooked up with one of North America's class one roads can be a long and tiring process.
I myself have been trying off and on for three years. I already have training, a certificate in "Railroad Operations" (4.0 GPA in my courses) and still I can't get in.
That, of course, doesn't mean that you couldn't manage to land a job on one our nations ever growing rail lines.
Ya just gotta be patient, real patient, and diligent.
To make things easier for all of us (that includes me) to search for open positions I will be posting a list of what the railroads are looking for.
Here are December's open positions from railroads around the country:
