What lines will you be on? I heard in two weeks, transit will be hosting a job fair at SEC. I hope to find something in railroad management there.
Who knows, I'm going to be on an extras list for a while because I'm a new hire, so I'll be all over the system with no set terminal for a while. Doesn't bother me though. I can't wait!

I've heard from several Metro-North employees, including a relative of mine who works for them, that the best way into MN is to pretty much bombard them with applications and whatnot (well not so much bombard but be persistent)
I'd like to get on there as a conductor or engineer later in life but for now I'll settle for something else on there.
When I put in my app at NJ Transit, I waited almost 9 months for a responce, and another 6 months from the first time I talked to them till clases started. It's a long process it seams almost anywhere when it comes to railroads.
