I have been applying for Asst. Conductor positions with BNSF for quite some time now, but since I don't have NARS training, or railroad...
I'm sorry to hear that, and sorry to hear so many current employees are having a rough go of it. Guess I won't bother applying with UP right now....
Well, it's been a couple of years, but I decided to revisit this thread. I noticed the UP website doesn't have nearly as many Train Service...
Thanks, Kevin and Charlie! I continue to be amazed by the depth of the answers to questions asked on these boards, and the generous willingness...

Does anyone know of a way to shortcut the UP on-line application process? When applying for a position, UP requires you to fill out the entire...
That must have been a really rough experience. You did everything within your power to stop, but she was determined, and knew there was no way...
