Hello, Julian !
There are no direct trainings or jobs to engineer a train in Peabody, KS. To get training or job opportunities, you can inquire at rail companies such as Union Pacific, BNSF Railway, CPKC, South Kansas & Oklahoma Railroad, and maybe even Amtrak. Also large cities that have a train transit system.
The Kansas State Board of Technical Professions oversees the licensing process for Professional Engineers in Kansas, requiring applicants to pass an exam and meet experience requirements. Nearby areas where you can seek training would have programs such as Kansas Works that have a list of training programs they can inform you of.
You'll need to have a high school diploma and be 21 or older. Your first step would be to get experience at a railroad as a rail passenger assistant, train conductor that focuses on safety, customer service, and operational coordination, or revenues officer with a train company. Consider contacting the National Academy of Railroad Sciences in Kansas City, Kansas and see where the closest college is that offers a Railroad Operations Program. You also have to take and pass the Federal Railroad Administration Certification. Going for an Associates Degree at college for this just may be your best bet.
For now, expand your model train sets, read a lot about railroads and trains, watch videos about the subject and career and see if you can join or start any train related extracurricular at school. Take as many train trips as you can. Ask your parents to take you to any Railroad Museums that may not be too far away.
I hope this helps and I wish you all the best !
