Once you pass the test they put your name into a pool, it’s pass or fail. So how high you scored doesn’t matter. Your name is randomly pulled from a pool for a panel interview. Could be a month or could be years. They have a class in April, then in May. So just keep checking your emails. There is no telling, but you get a track job on the railroad your set buddy. You get two full sized pensions when you retire from LIRR or MNR -
My name was restored in October. List #62xx still waiting for the pre employment call -
I will put this out there; If you find that you hate the road, I would suggest giving sub-c a try. You might like it, you might hate it, but it’s something different. I have no problem saying that I was happy coming into work almost everyday when I was in work trains even with its problems and stressors. -
You’re right on point with this one! People need to understand we are all warned about the schedules, the unexpected late clears due to the road blowing up! Literally had them tell us in orientation if you have children, make sure you have a back up baby sitter for you regular sitter and just in case, have a back up for the back up! Now why continue in the process, just to get through school car and start acting like this was all new? Seems childish to me! Again the job isn’t perfect but it’s what it is when in terms of the description given in the beginning! -
Lower your expectations people...the job pays great but it ain't gonna be all sweet 😂...if we had weekends off and flexible schedules the pay would drop drastically. I could have picked early AMs this pick and that would have been perfect for me I don't need weekends off as long as I'm working early AM and get to spend the evening at home with my kids. I may not have the schedule I want but I'm able to pick something that works for me right now. I'm 5 minutes from home and I work evenings so I can babysit my youngest during the day and save the insane amount of money I'd be paying for a daycare or babysitter. You can make it work for u too. -
I wish it was that easy, been here almost a total for 5 years 1 year c/r and 3 years a t/o and I was luckily enough to pick as a t/o within my 1st year. Weekends off this early will be pipedreams unless I'm lucky enough to get a bid job with weekends off. This job is what you make it some people come from a comfy job with zero senority and then come here thinking they'll get holidays weekends and the tour they want. We are all warned before we start this job that we won't get that but people probably think it's all hearsay. I was going for my bachelors in law and had to stop because I learned the hard way when I started this job that they won't work around your school schedule like a normal job would.
