I'm going to NARS for the Diesel Electrician class.Will I be picked up by a Railroad?
I have 10 years experiance as a diesel electrician. Heavy equipment, military and civilian equipment used by the military. I have no criminal background except some driving violations (no DUIs). My main concern is not being considered a "journeyman" electrician. My experience has all been military or as a military contractor. In the military and its contract world no one is a journeyman. So really my question is "What are the chances of me being picked up by a railroad as a diesel electrician if I go to NARS and with my work experiance." Thanks
With your background experience coupled with the fact that the industry is really booming right now you most likely shouldn't have a problem getting on, particularly with one of the seven major Class I railroads.
Talk soon,

Probably as long as you have good work referneces, be persistent and you should be willing to relocate.
