I live in pennsylvania and i was wondering how i can become a train driver.?

First off, it's engineer. CSX & NS are still hiring conductors. In about 3 years, you'll get called to go to engineer school. School is 4-5 weeks, and 26 weeks in training. I've been an engineer for CSX in Pa. & Ohio for 6 years. It is mentally straining, and the hours suck. Pay is good, benefits are good. Company is heartless. Be careful what you wish for.

Most train engineers start as conductors and eventually upgrade. Both the CSX and Norfolk Southern work this way and both operate through PA. I would look up job openings on their websites and take it from there. Good luck.

If you are under the age of 25, you can apply to Job Corps. They are a federally funded training (no pun intended) for youth 16-25. You can then look in to the TCU course of study. TCU is a training program, in conjunction with Job Corps, that is partially funded by the Transporation/Communication International Union. There are 8 campuses of this program nation wide. There are 2 in California, with a waiting list a mile long, two in Missouri, one in the boonies, one in St. Lious (be afraid), one in St. Paul, MN, (bring a jacket), one in Washington, DC, and 2 in New England, both, in the boonies. After training with TCU, you then have a leg up with the train companies, CSX, CP, Amtrak. During your stay at Job Corps, you are provided education, meals, lodging, recration, and a biweekly stipe, which increases the longer you are in Job Corps.

my first suggestion would be to do a little research....trains do not require "drivers"...at least that's not what they're called....so, you wish to become an engineer? Good luck!!
