course is geared toward any railyard & shop
facility and any industrial facility that has rail

Presentations, Video & Open dialogue discussion, as well
as a tour of the facilities with the affected employees,

in these environments, such as rail equipment awareness,

are integrated in the "Railyard & Industrial Switching

It is no secret around the railroad that the "GCOR",
as it is usually referred to, is an intense part of
any new hire or requalification training program.
Our experienced Instructors break the GCOR down rule by
rule and explain it in simple terms that each student
can better understand utilizing Video, Illustrations and
Open Discussion Dialogue with a practice exam between each
section.
