Immediately, but with no protection until you complete the probation period.

Happy to say everyone passed the midterm. We got our yard posting papers. PM's for the rest of the week. Medic, my ex (she's a T/O) says the N timers annoy her to no end.
-
Thanks beneka!!! Yeah, we were there. I think I saw you give dap to Flynn. Did relays until 9:40 then switching and yard moves for the rest of the day.

Thanks!!!

First Yard Practical... everyone passed!!!

DO NOT copy ANYTHING in that booklet without express permission from 180. If all else fails, go get copies. Congrats to everyone that made it into the 4/29 class!!! Active Listening-Studying-Retention-Operation according to rule and you will have no issues.
-
Yeah, if it was N/B that was us. We were on our way to Dyre for the lay-up.

Surprise trip down the road w/a 142. NT feels sooooo foreign after SMEE. Almost forgot how to do my brake test on it. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!?!
-
Smooth, go back to 180 and go to the left of where you gave in your docs the first time and get blanks. Make as many copies of those blanks as you need to to get your history right. That will suffice. I had to do 20 years of work history so don't feel bad.

Awwwww sookie sookie now!!!

BX, how many B Div induction classes are in your group?
-

Best of luck Etrain...

Copy that. SMEE. R-62. One side of the train moaned and came with a 1.5 sec delay in braking. The other side was so responsive we could come into the stations at close to 40 and still make smooth, accurate stops.
-
Anyone get a train with a moaning from around the brakes/trucks/axle/wheels area? I'm thinking it's worn bearings when that happens. Any takers?
-
yessir
-
Whenever I get to pick, I'll try to get something at Corona or Livonia. Otherwise it's an A to B transfer for me. Only because I want the experience.

Took a 62A from VC to Utica and back. I did better with the SMEE than the NTT. It feels like an extension of the hands. No dumps from anyone in class today. Overran a station by a door panel on my second stop. After that, everything was gravy. But, like you guys said, each of the operating ends react differently. Looking forward to more practice.
-
Thanks SG. I'll be sure to keep this all in mind when we go down the road tomorrow with the 62.
-
Oh SMEE-thou hast forsaken me...hahahahahaha. Those damned brakes gave me a headache today but I finally got the hang of it doing cuts and adds. More tomorrow.
-
No one hit a signal to when we went down the road today. 2 trips. Burnside to Bowling Green to Burnside to Bowling Green to Mosh Yd. There were, however, 3 dumps. I did dump twice and put a bonnet out of one station our first time down the road a couple of weeks back. It was nerve racking enough to get control of my train.
-
Damn BX...all those people picked A before they got to you? They had to force 5 of us in A. It'll all work out though. Those days @ 207 & Concourse you'll be lovin'. Plus, you'll get used to the wonky reporting times early on.
-
Nah. They said they give it to us when we road post. Went to the Sim today. Felt like I was at 6 Flags. The snow condition w/ no wipers and no snowbrake killed me. I was like, WTF?!!! Hilarious.
