Before I started with the fire department I spent several years working for CSX. I will call some old bosses and get some of the training aids we had to work with. It will take a few weeks but I should get some excellent material for you and anyone else that might need them.

The csx site is the place to go. Their TRANS CAER program will bring a training program to you! Free of charge! The CSX has regional managers. The Regional Manager will be your contact to set up the training. We did it here in 2008 for all our Haz Mat Companies and it was superb. Expertly presented information got to the point with plenty of up close contact time with the equipment. It was well received. I've uploaded a couple photos for you. The Railcar2003 ppt is good. If possible have someone from the railroad present the training. There is a very good article from Nov 08 Fire Engineering titled, "Responding Safely to Railroad Emergencies: Locomotive Systems and Operation" that is available via the archives.

Just a quick bit of information you might want to look at. There is a free website that you can upload larger files to, and the recipient gets an e-mail telling them to follow the link, at which time they download it. Check this out: yousendit.com
I hope this is helpful in the future.
