Railroad Conductor Training Program
The Railroad Conductor Program is a five-week program, meeting five days a week in
Huntington, WV. The training prepares qualified men and women for entry-level positions
with a Class 1 railroad.
The course includes an introduction to railroading safety, operating rules, signals,
equipment, and other topics essential for success as a conductor. Students spend eight
hours per day training either in class or on rail equipment. Classes are scheduled Monday
through Friday. Students are provided all of the study materials and safety equipment to
complete the course.
In the second, third and fourth week of class, job interviews, medical evaluations and
strength tests are normally conducted. Background investigations and former employee
releases are initiated. Students graduate at the end of the fifth week and 95% of
graduates become employed as conductors within two days of graduation.
