If that is your interest of law enforcement, you'll definately have to broaden your search outside of New England. Some that come to mind in the northeast are New Jersey Transit Police and New York Port Authority Police. BNSF also, but that is further west. I had some training recently in New Jersey and had conversation with a municipal officer that started his career working for New Jersey Transit Police in the North Jersey. You would definately get some quick policing experience with some sketchy folks. Check out the link below under regional and national law enforcement links.
Amtrak has several postings on their website for positions outside of Boston. They list the pay as $120.00 per day. I beleive their authority extends beyond Amtrak property.

Amtrak PD officers are sworn as federal law enforcement officers and can enforce federal laws nationwide. Their ability/ jusrisdiction to enforce state laws varies from state to state.
NJT Police is a great place to get some experience. NJ Transit is a state agency, their officers have powers state wide, as well as in parts of Pennsylvania and New York.
The MTA police in New York/ Connecticut primarily deal with commuter rail (MTA Long Island Railroad, MTA Metro North Railroad, MTA Staten Island Railroad) as well as other properties. They are similar to the MBTA police, however their retirement plan only requires 20 years. -------------- In New England, CSX and Guilford RR both have railroad police dept's. They are small, account recent downsizing.
