Tell that to the many NS emplyees who get put on medical hold each year, who get caught failing to notify said department of a medication they were taking. The FRA is tightening up on medical regulations, and having high blood pressure can land one out of service. NS also has a rule that states employees MUST report ANY prescription medication usage to the medical department.
While it is true that a drug test won't catch it, you are still required to report any prescription meds you are on.
Don't try to sneak anything past them. If they find out you failed to report something during the application process, your conditional offer will be revoked and you will be fired if you are a conductor trainee.
