Wow thank all for the help!
Well, I'm interested in Mechanical Engineering but I don't know yet.

I'm interested in going to at least technical school and try to meet most requirements for train service. My goal is to work conductor and later engineer if possible. Then go out to a field in the mechanical area on the railroads, not before participating in operations before PTC gets rid of crews.

Any ideas with this?
