The Metro North Railroad is operated by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Check their website for job listings, and apply if you see one that suits you.

Some examples of jobs in rail are:

Operations: train driver / guard, station attendant, signaller, timetable planner
Maintenance: engineer, technician, development planner
Support: functions that all companies need, such as HR and finance roles

What are you looking for in particular?

Some of these jobs will require relevant tertiary qualifications, while others require on the job training.

As stated on its website, the MTA is "a public benefit corporation chartered by the State of New York", so you'll be looking at getting a government job, which is likely to be fairly secure and have good working conditions. On the other hand, public transport is inherently highly politicised, and there will be a lot of bureaucracy.

With all that being said, I work on a railway, and I would recommend it.
