You'd have to apply on line, but there is a very large number of applicants & I think they want a high education standard. Things are a lot different from when I started on the railways in 1971 & joined the locomotive side of things in 1975. BUT, as with then & NOW, they wont just give you the job, you have to want to drive trains, you have to study hard for the exams, you have to earn the drivers "ticket."
Fault not with gate, faulty earth on the overhead, it was very low amps though, apparently they found out it was coming from a stanchion that also had yard lighting attached to it & it was touching the yard fence, when you opened the gate it was like opening a switch and it started arcing, it only happened when there were trains in 4 road and when a train powered out of the station, you can hear the train & level crossing bells & see the arcing drop off the further away the train got.
