And you have to get past whatever game the personnel department is playing.
Existing employee transfers into T&E service, college degree required, insane aptitude tests, minority quotas, no previous railroad experience - the qualifications vary by year and railroad. I have also worked where having previous railroad experience didn't gain you anything.
Beware of the seniority districts and rules.
You might easily be forced to work the worst jobs imaginable miles from home. And just as you might hold something better, you start all over at the bottom as engineer.
