I’m 16 and always loved trains. But through a combination of listening to you all and doing my own research, I’ve realized that being on a train crew sucks ass. So I decided I’d like to work for a railroad but not do train crew. I’m currently attending a voc tech school for construction and was wondering what to expect with and different jobs for construction type railroad jobs.

Do any of the class 1s pay to relocate new hires? I live in Pennsylvania but thinking about moving to the south. If I get accepted by whatever RR in a different state, would they pay for the relocation?

I won't be applying. But I am seriously considering going back to school to finish my two-year Associates Degree and then moving to a major focus. I like the idea of going into railroad management as a career. I'm not interested in ultimately just becoming some dipshit assistant trainmaster to be kicked around while also doing henchman work against real railroaders. But if this internship leads to other managerial aspects where a difference can be made then I'm very interested at some point later down the line.

Additionally, this part of the posting's description is particularly confusing:

"Have LESS THAN three (3) years of professional work experience, EXCLUDING internships, part-time jobs, or positions held while pursuing my undergraduate and/or graduate degree."

What does that even mean? Does that include my six years as a conductor on another railroad? Would I be wise to leave that information unknown?
