Application
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Union Pacific (Omaha, NE) in Sept 2011
Interview
Online job application takes a while. Interview was casual with questions having to do with past experience and future goals. Some technical questions.
Interview process was pretty straightforward. I was contacted by hiring manager for an interview and had a single panel interview of 5 people (all of whom I would be my potential co-workers). I think the hiring manager was more or less looking for someone with the aptitude to learn and be trained fairly quickly over someone with many years of experience.
