Assuming that experience is key to
getting a railroad career and you
have none, wouldn't it stand to
reason to go to someone who has a
lot of experience to help you
get your railroad career started?
RailroadJobs.Biz has
hired and trained thousands of
railroad workers in our combined 70
years serving the railroad industry. We
are a track maintenance and
construction company. We have built
or repaired thousands of miles of
railroad track. We know that
track is basically built the same
way today as it was 150 years
ago and that you learn most of
everything there is to know about
building track in the first 5
years. After that it just applying
what you know for the rest of your
Railroad Career while looking for
advancements.
RailroadTraining.Biz
can double your first 5 years
experience when you start with a FRA
213 Track Safety Standards, 40 hours
online certification.
Hiring
railroad companies aren't necessary
looking for seasoned railroad
workers for two reason.
First,
because unemployed experienced
railroad workers just don't exist.
RailroadJobs.Biz application data
of the last 4,500 applications shows
that 98% of all experienced
railroad workers are working.
Second
reason why hiring railroads don't
hire overly experienced
railroaders is the new hire
company "doesn't want to
teach an old dog new tricks
RailroadTraining.Biz can
balance this out by certifying
you with the basic FRA 213 TSS
and having the hiring railroad
train the hands on, the way they
want it done.

email address do you want to use,
