List shows only about 2,150 track workers, I thought they had to have a little more then that. That may class would had 50 more but think they are still short by at least 2 more classes...

The seniority list should be at least in the 2400's

May be the case as though the “grape vine” the pick is end of June, don’t think they’ll have a pick in the middle of hiring people.

When was the last pick?

Word on the street is the May 21st class is the last one for this list. Sorry kids. 

. I overheard my instructor and a superintendent talking in class this morning and he told him that they are going to hire another 500 by the end of the year.

Nic eman so day 1 of the class was good and orientation went well...?

So In regards to the MetroCard everyone.... Does that count for on and off the clock? And what about the express bus.. does it apply. I have an Express bus near me that if I end up in the city can take to work

Yes you can you use it at your hearts desire.  But ONLY YOU, no one else.  Express bus honors it.

You guys are lucky you didn’t get the older ones, talk about cinderblocks. You didn’t break those things in they broke you in.

on that site you get on free pair and if you want another with $85 off, reflected in the price shown. You can still get your own and get them approved I’ll be most likely getting a pair of redwings soon.

Trying to see which red wings they will authorize

If anyone has any questions about the process I’ll answer it the best I can. They were printing out hundreds of preemployment letters. Not sure for what test but still a promising sign about the hiring freeze rumors. 

When do they give you equipment? Was wondering if I need to bring a bag to carry all that stuff home on the 1st day

Thats not too bad

A little late but my list number is 19** I start monday the 23rd with the 1st orientation never received a letter or email aftermyn1st drug test. Back in September. Was reaching out for months beyond the 3 to 90 days finally got something that said I was a no show for November . Had to reinstate with dcas when I found out in February. Recieved a email to come in to do it all over and I pretty much did my 1st drug test over again got a call back 2 days later for medical. Spent about 6 hours there I was 2nd in the line. Passed my medical took my picture got my books start on monday. Everything was done within 3 weeks  

Damn bro, that was quick. I'll be there on monday too. 

Im assuming when we show up on the 23rd we wear regular clothes.

FYI: My list number is 280* and I posted an update about my on-going case with Human Resources here.

 I'm hoping everything works out for you. 

Long day at Livingston. But it finally paid off. Congrats to all going on the 23rd.  The pay is 1$ more then I expected. Kinda disappointed my BO vacation time didnt carry over. Off to the redwings store for some boots.

Don’t forgot your money order and it might not be that bad, when I went it was far far less people then the lab test days I went. Waiting for all the doctors was a drag but the rest was easy I think I got out around 1pm 

Got the money order already. If you don't mind me asking, what yard are you at?

That seems to be the way it is, I swore in and paid for my fingerprints all in the same day after my medical. Digging out all those ties in OJT is pretty rough, start doing your pushups guys and girls  lol

Guess its gonna be a long day
