The only current training on passenger train resuce is conducted by Texas A&M at the Extension Service Fire School. As far as I know, and according to the school, this is the school of its type in the US. The class lasts for one week. They have several types of cars from Amtrak trains on the training grounds that provide the most realistic training enviroment to challenge even experienced rescue personnel.
