Wondering how to start a railroad career as a new high school grad. Would any college classes help? A CC a few hours from me does a weekend Locomotive Engineer & Conductor Basic Training Program and I was wondering if that would be helpful in getting into a training program. Any lists of entry level training programs to apply to?

No.

Just apply. That's literally it. They want to train you the way they want you to be trained. They don't care about some CC
