Question

I HAVE SOME TRAINING IN OPERATING TROLLEYS. i.e. SAN FRANCISCO, NEW ORLEANS

Answer 1

Normally, in order to become an engineer you must begin as a conductor.

Answer 2

Johnson County Community College in Kansas City, KS.  I believe there is also a school in Fort Worth, TX but the name escapes me.

Answer 3

Before they will acept you into an engineer's school, you will have to know how to spell and write so others can understand. You need some work in those areas first.

Answer 4

Most organizations have their own schools and these are entered by being in the career path for the job.  IE

WMATA generally must first be a bus driver then apply for train operators school.

Answer 5

Try an internet search on "locomotive engineer training."  Alternatively, check the web sites of the major railroads and find the "careers" tab.
