How To Get Employed?

What jobs can you do to work with Trains? What type of Education do you need for them? What are the qualifications? Any other info would be great.

I am from wisconsin and im 17 years old.

A lot of jobs require a GED at least. However, I've noticed more railroads are starting to seek people with college degrees. Here are some links to railroads, they'll tell you what qualifications they are looking for:

You could also try the Railroad Retirement Board website:

www.rrb.gov

Click on "jobs listing". It contains job openings on various RRs around the country and links to the "jobs" sections of all the RR websites. First, though, you should indeed get at least a GED, if not your diploma. Good luck.
