I came in with 15 years commercial driving experience so for me fresh pond is easy but for others the main complaint is that the streets are extremely tight and there’s constant detours due to road work. The depot only has 9 lines so it was very easy to memorize and being that I’m on the extra list it doesn’t drive me crazy since it’s only 9 lines versus depots that have 15+ lines. -

Yes for sure. hopefully in time you can get into West Farms or kingsbridge. I would like to get into a Manhattan depot but my gut feeling is that you need some seniority to get into one of those depots. hope I'm wrong though -

well that's good to hear! I am glad you are happy at your depot. that definitely is a huge benefit, especially while on probation. Fresh pond has good lines? -

Nevermind I think you’re right -
If you mean the mechanical aptitude test no that's been around and is different from the personality test. Apparently, it seems the mechanical aptitude has been doing people in, but I'm trying to figure out what that fifth section is, because it's new to me -
Congrats RJP. The interview will be in a panel format where you'll have a couple of road foremen and/or training officers in addition to your HR recruiter who will all sit in via Microsoft Teams (You said zoom, but I'm assuming it's actually Microsoft Teams since my interview was held on Teams as well). In any case, you want to thoroughly go over the LE Job Description as the panel will ask you what the responsibilities of a Locomotive Engineer are. You don't have to remember it verbatim, but it is in your best interest to be able to recite all of the functions and responsibilities of the job. Second, They will ask WHY do you want to be an Engineer at MNR and they will ask WHAT skills do you have from prior jobs that make you a good candidate. If you have a history of safety sensitive jobs be sure to mention them, I can not emphasize enough SAFETY, SAFETY, SAFETY is crucial when answering questions so be sure to mention the importance of maintaining train safety and the safety of the crew and ground employees whenever you can. They will also ask you of a time where you had to successfully multitask so be prepared. Note, there a couple of scenario based questions in where you are asked to make decisions on the fly. Again take into account maintaining safety and remember the safety of persons along the right of way supersede train timeliness or any events that happen onboard the train (take a REAL good note of this) . Finally, do not forget to ask questions at the end of the interview as it shows the panel that you are truly interested and are eager to proceed with the process. Overall it is a fairly straightforward interview and as long as you don't psyche yourself out you will do just fine. Good luck!
