I'd ask the proctor what you can do or ask the security when they start letting people in if you can leave your bag somewhere. I've seen people bring in small bags like a pocket book. They just leave it on the floor or against the window in the class room or hang it in the classroom. -
For Metro North TCU employees' vacations come in increments, just like any union job. You get 5 days (1 week) after your first year on the railroad. The next year you get 10 days (2 weeks). After 5 years you get 15 days (3 weeks). After 10 years, 20 days (4 weeks), and after 15 years, 25 days (5 weeks). If you're on the older side, it's a little less then ideal, but if your on the younger side, it's ok. You will pick vactions around late november to early december for the following year in order of seniority. Being low seniority in the Building Services department it's slim pickings but you should be able to choose what you want so long as it's not in the summer 😅 If at some point you are trying to go for Locomotive Engineer (which is what train operators are called on the railroads) you with have to apply for it via a change of craft as it is a job in a different union, ACRE. Need to have a minimum of 1 year in the railroad, preferably at least 3 years before you can apply so be aware of that. -
Oh ok thank you so much Thank you so much to telling me all this , I a really appreciate , of course I will wait and go and take my test and the once I am in i came move to other positions , I would like the train operator how about vacation , how does vacation work, do you have to take vacation in specific time or month and how many week you get your first year etc ? -
It is ABSOLUTELY worth it, trust me I would not be where I am now if it wasn't for the opportunity that was the Attendant Terminal Appearance position. And that's the beauty of it, you don't need to stay there the rest of career, you can go virtually anywhere in the railroad once you get in. As for your question on what to study, there really isn't anything to study for this particular test, most of it is just reading and understanding short passages and labels and being able to answer basic questions. The "Attendant Terminal Appearance" job title is super fancy but it is essentially a "Grand Central Building Services Custodian" job. The test will give you basic questions about things such as cleaning tools and products. For example, You'll be shown a bleach bottle label and asking you questions about what you read. It's far easier than I make it sound, no math, no reading comprehension, no mechanical aptitude just basic questions. As for job performance, well it's a custodial job, it's not pretty but it's good neccesary work. You will work with a crew of around 20-25 other terminal attendants per shift, AM, PM, and Overnight (It's been a while since I been there, but the overnight guys are awesome!!!). You will be given a small detail where you have 8 hours to complete. Very easy job, and very rewarding knowing you help maintain one of the busiest, foot trafficked locations in NYC.

Oh ok thank you so much , yes I just want to find out about as much as I can before going into it , like k said I work as doorman , I made 28 and hour easy job great health care charisma bonus at the end of year etc just that usually you never go anywhere just being a doorman , but I will see I have my test next in 2 week , I would love to know what is the best about , cause I have not idea what to study , also I would love to know what is the job performance there etc I will have to think very well about it well cause as make 28 going to 24 and then wait like 8 year to get 34 could be worth to wait

Got any ideas? I will be flying in to take the test #4605 for Train Operator. I will have a back pack with a few items in it, as well as a tablet and cellphone. The test instructions are quite clear in that these items aren’t allowed into the test site. Are there any lockers available nearby? I’d hate to have to rent a room just to keep my valuables/backpack in, as I’d hope to fly out that evening. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
