This college in Galesburg Illinois has a 2 year course in Railroad Operations.
"Associate in Applied Science
Railroad Operations
This two-year program is designed to provide knowledge and skills for employment in the railroad industry. In addition to being introduced to the history of railroading and the career options available, railroad safety, quality, and environment issues, the student will also be able to personalize this program by choosing from a list of business and technical electives."
