I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Norfolk Southern (Fort Wayne, IN) in Apr 2018
Interview
Disorganized, tardy and ill-prepared presentation. Very good questions by local officials. No involvement by HR man who organized the event. Somewhat disturbing that an apparently higher ranking man sat in the corner - not at the table where the local officials were seated, who shook his head and radiated negativity during my interview process.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Norfolk Southern (Woodridge VI, AZ) in Nov 2022
Interview
Intense and drug out. Not for the faint of heart. This job is not for the weak and if you aren’t willing to understand that stay away. If you can handle pushing yourself to go to work, have little time off (suck as to sleep) and back at it then apply. No more crying with reviews, they warn you before you start.
A couple written questions, then 2 video interviews. One of them was pre-recorded. They are hiring a lot right now. If you pass you go to Georgia for 2 weeks before going out in the field
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you be out in the weather, would your last boss say you were safe
