Are there like any colleges that have classes for railroad engineering???? I would think that would help big time for me to join NS or CP here on the D&H.
not sure which one i'll go into yet, so i'm exploring all three. next year in school i'm taking classes for the first two, but obviously there are no classes for railroading .
but whatever i go into, i will still be a railfan!
Since I've scouting R.R. throughout the Northeast, I would like to work for really any R.R. in the NE. But my top choices are:
1). NJ Transit
2). SEPTA (Because I just love to railfan the system)
3). LIRR
4). Metro North
5). Amtrak, possibly
In terms of capacity with these R.R.'s, it most likely would be operations, like conductor or the top job of being an engineer.
I am thinking I will someday start a completly new rail service somewhere in the northeast but I am not exactly sure what service is needed just yet but I have some ideas.
err...
If I were you I'd build a commuter line from Portland to Fryeburg Maine... Maybe rebuild some of the mountain div. There was as study not to long ago and 9 industries said they would use rail... It would also work as a commute for people going into Portland. First you need to win the lottery...
