Locomotive Engineer

I get this question a lot and it is this. How can I get hired as a railroad locomotive engineer? The answer is that you first must be a railroad conductor before you can become an engineer. You have to get hired as a conductor and then with senority you eventually go to school and they train you to become an engineer.

So if you have seen some schools that offer to train you as an engineer then forget about it because you can’t get hired directly as an engineer.

I hope that clears things up for some you you guys!
