Any advice out there for a passenger engineer hopeful? I'm looking for input regarding background requirements and the hiring process in general. I'm 37, single and willing to relocate anywhere.

You might want to start by following the trainweb link to "jobs" followed by the "Amtrak" link. It is a considerable climb to becoming an engineer. If your willing and able, apply for an entry level position and work your way up. College education in the RR industry field would also be helpful. Good luck.

You will have to start as an assistant conductor. They are currently not even interviewing candidates who are not rules qualified to become engineers. Might be easier to work for another railroad to become an engineer and then come over
