Re: CSX
CSX, NS and most other class one railroads don't have interN positions at the entry-level position. I'm assuming that's where your at because if you were going for a white collar internship, I would think you'd be able to spell a little better than that.

Re: CSX
NS has all the requirements listed on the employment section of their website, but if your just in High School I would worry about what I was going to study in college before trying to find places to work.
Typically its 18 for the minimum age to work most places in the USA.

Re: CSX
Most Class Ones require you to be 18 with a high school diploma/GED and either 2 years of college and/or 2 years of full-time work experience. It also depends which area you are looking to get into. Track, mechanical, TE&Y, etc. With thousands of employees furloughed, you may be waiting a couple years before railroads start hiring again.
Here are some examples of Class One requirements:

CSX: http://www.csxt.com/?fuseaction=careers ... r#DOC40412
BNSF: http://www.bnsf.com/careers/emp_process.html
NS has a co-op program in select locations for the mechanical department: https://www1.recruitingcenter.net/Clien ... 02&esid=az

Re: CSX
It depends on what type or work your looking to do after college. You need to first pick a field of study, then decide what colleges offer the best type of training in that area.mike nowakowski wrote:what kind of college experience would be most beneficial
Re: CSX
I linked some requirements and an NS co-op in my post above. As has been said several times, it depends what area you are looking to get into. I chose the full-time work route as opposed to the college route as I was turned away for not having enough work experience at the time of my first interview. After I had 4 years of full-time work experience I was hired as a conductor. I was trying that entire time to get hired with any railroad. My first interview was after I'd had one year of full-time work experience. Several interviews later, after I'd figured out what they wanted, polished my interviewing skills, I lucked out.

Re: CSX
What area of the railroad do you want to work in? Management, sales, train crew, track structure, signals. You have not told us yet.
For the management / sales side, get a masters degree business management, marketing, or accounting. For the train crew side, I would do four years in the military. For track structure, get a civil engineering degree. For signals, go to a school like ITT Technical.

Re: CSX
Be prepared to wait a while.
There are well over 7500 furloughed in T&E alone system wide on the CSX right now. They 'aint exactly looking for people.
Try RailAmerica. Seriously. If you don't have a preference on where you live or the hours you work, RA will provide some experience.
The advice of a four year tour in the military is no BS either. They love ex-military folks. Take orders, no questions.
12 years seniority on the "good 'ol" CS of X. Working 150 miles from home.
Great job, love trains (sarcasm).
