Congrats jromanva. I was #92x from the May 20 induction class. This list is moving super fast. GL to all.

All great advice to be used as a reference when developing your style of safe/ efficient operation. I would also add, learn/read about the differences btw dynamic and friction braking, the various mphs they are activated and deactivated. This is good to know especially when you feel the train is under control but it slides a wee bit.

It's been about a 1.5 month out of school car. For the most part progressing well. But there have been a few humbling on the job experiences. For all the ones coming out to the road, think before you say something to supervision/rcc, and establish a professional relationship with your c/r before you start. Yes we all make rookie/fng mistakes, write G2s and speak to superintendents. But I've been honest and forthright in stating just the facts and how they relate to the situation and rules/regs. Thank goodness I read my blue book while in the yard.

Congratulations to the 1/28/13 induction class of Train operators both A and B Division who made it to the end of probation, may you continued to succeed in your transit career.  It wasn't easy but to those of us who made it  good luck.   P.S.  No more high lights over our names  lol

Released to the crew office today. 5 months left on probation.

Congrats to the Nov'12 class and thanks for sharing whether in the crew rooms or on the thread.

HI all been a while since my last post. for all those waiting, read this thread meticulously and be extra prepared for each step. when unsure about something, research it first, then ask specific questions. remember just bcuz we all scored well on a test does not entitle you to this job. I picked A div. & start road posting this week.

A word to the wise for those yard posting, whenever possible be caught reading your rule book &/ manuals. Besides supervision, many others ie coworkers take note on how wise or unwisely probies use their time in the crew rooms.

I think they would oblige if there is an October class and your reason is valid. HR accommodated a few from my class. I would wait til the very end to ask. Gl

Thx!

How can I look up a job using tens? - thx in advance

TA 26 passed all yard practical and signal exam last week. Next up is some yard posting for 7 days and then road ops for 5 days and after that released to the yard for 3 months/60 days technically. Great job so far TA 26.....infamous....... Thanks for the great instruction Santiago and McDuffie......You will always be on our minds.

Were you guys at Livonia today? Congrats TA 26. Everyone looked so relieved...

On a more positive note, we've all passed the final today and next Tuesday is our Road Practical.

Congrats! I know you'll do well...

On another note: this past Friday TA-28 operated a R142 10 car train roundtrip from Livonia Yd to 239 Yd successfully under the guidance of TSS Richardson and TSS Taylor. Our confidence is growing as we are increasing our skills reading the irons and signals during operation.

I strongly advise reading chapter 1-2 in the Rules/Regulation ASAP prior to start of school car if given early and prior to being assigned your schoolcar TSS'.

Yesterday class TA-28 took a R-62 from VC to Livonia and back. TSS' Richardson and Taylor said as a whole we operated very well. I won't lie I was bit nervous but TSS Taylor was on the money calling all the switches and grade time signals... now onto R142/R142a.

I passed the road practical, all the hard work paid off, thanks to my instructors, train operators that posted with me and all my classmates that were always there to lend their support. good luck to all you still in school car hope to see you all on the road.

DP142 - Thanks. I'll ask for pdf versions so i can put keep them on my smartphone too.

Thanks to the TSS that suggested that we spiral bind our rules and induction books..they are much more comfortable to read now.

I did it too, highly recommend it for future classes.. see you tmo

TSS' shared with the new yard training A div should be about 6 months and B div about 9 months.

Etrain congrats!
