Sure they are: CSX Job Search
A good friend of mine was hired by CSX. He was sent to Atlanta, GA for training and immediately after training was complete he was laid off. That was almost 2 years ago.

Once Hunter arrived in Jacksonville; CSX closed their REDI Center here in Atlanta. (About the same time they closed Tilford Yard, as I recollect.) Not sure how they plan to train prospective conductors, signal maintainers, MOW people and so on going forward but; they have so many folks from these crafts furloughed right now that openings will likely be filled by recall.
NS closed their training center in McDonough south of Atlanta earlier this year as well.
PSR means less of everything except BS so; no need for a railroad to go to the expense of keeping a training center open.

I got a ad saying that UP was hiring also. I'm waiting on Santa Fe to start hiring myself. If Santa Fe does not start hiring soon, I may have to go to work for Rock Island.
