New and Improved Railroad Forum

by Sean Martin on February 9, 2011

We now have a new and improved railroad employment forum. I upgraded the forum so we now have ‘private messaging’, you can get email notifications on your favorite threads, and you can also upload a photo or avatar.

This will help members stay in touch in private and swap email addresses, etc…

It’s also nice that you can get an email when someone answers your question on the forum so this is a huge bonus!

I’ll see you on the forum.

I finally got hired on with CSX after 2 long years. My first ever
job interview I lucked up and got hired out of 60 people I was the
#1 hire. I went and submitted background check and drug test and
passed. Well I guess I took the physical strength test a little
to light. I’ve never been over weight but I guess I was out of
shape. So for 2 straight years I applied at csx and kept getting
rejection letters. I bought your book at the beginning of 2010 and
finally got invited to 3 different jobs for track workers. Your book
definitely put the icing on the cake. I got put in all 3 pools but
after several months of sitting and waiting and hearing nothing I
got discouraged. So I figured I would try some conductors jobs out
so I applied and got invited to 4 interviews after some good
interviews I thought a few days later I got 4 rejection letters. I
was really bummed but 20 mins later on fri June 21 I got a call
asking me if I still wanted the track workers job. I said hell yeah
and started the process. I’ve been working out 6 days a week since
Jan so needless to say I was off the charts on the strength test this
time. I start my training Sept 20 and plan on working for CSX for
30 + years. Thanks for your help sean and I recommend your book to
all my friends!
