I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at BNSF Railway (Houston, TX)
Interview
Started off with a description of expected duties and chaotic schedule of the job. Then you took an aptitude test. If you passed the aptitude test, then you would have a 3 person panel interview you. But before that, you had a hair follicle test done testing for drugs and what not.
