Minimum Age to become a Railway Engineer

Say if you wanted to work for CSX, Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern Etc. How old would you have to be.

Within the past 50 or so years, the minimum ages may have been lower like 18 or 19 years of age.

However nowadays most railway company's would require you to be a minimum of atleast 21 years of age.

  2. It’s a good idea to get into the trade! Don’t worry about your age, many people got started even earlier.
