Students
Learn From Industry Professionals
Modoc Railroad Academy uses an industry approved curriculum. Both
our classroom and railroad operations have been inspected and approved
by officials from BNSF, Union Pacific, Amtrak and other railroad
companies from across the nation. No other program offers such a
dynamic and leading edge curriculum as Modoc Railroad Academy. Students
learn operating rules, track-side signaling systems, hazardous materials,
railroad safety, freight car braking systems and more. Students
will spend four weeks in the classroom and five weeks training on
the school's railroad.
Hands On Field Labs
One of the most unique features of the Modoc Railroad Academy is
its own operating railroad used for the exclusive use of our students.
Students learn practical and real world hands on experience with
boxcars, flatcars and various other types of school owned rail cars.
Instructors often set up various railroad problems and scenarios
for students to solve in a safe and controlled environment. The
conductor program is currently 9 weeks long.
Free Job Placement Assistance
Major railroads hire students directly from Modoc Railroad Academy.
Graduates from Modoc Railroad Academy work on railroads from Alaska
to New England, but generally railroads west of Chicago are our
strongest points. Modoc Railroad Academy assists all students with
job placement service, including interview preparations, drug testing
and goal counseling. However, neither the Modoc Railroad Academy
nor does any of its railroad partners guarantee or imply employment.
