Each class is a diverse crowd. They can only have 12 at time since they’re usually 4 classes overlapping each other. So trying to have all those students scheduled for different branches is already tight.

For engineer? I believe so. For conductor I don’t think so. Our drivers license is tied with our Engineer License. If for anytime your DL gets suspended or revoked. So does your EL

He got a letter saying that he wasn’t selected.

If the S&D is in hillside then yes. Just show the security desk your invite to S&D.

They’re having a hard time getting guys to pass. Usually they try to get a class together from different overviews who passed. I don’t think it’s training department. It’s probably people who see all this information and get overwhelmed.
-
The wait can be longer than a week for the S&D invitation.
-
Sorry to hear the bad news. Metro north Engineer posting is up again.

S&D test

Sorry. Didn’t specify. Engineers

Those who took the S&D in September. They all failed. No one passed. Haven’t heard anything lately.

The program is 14 months. After phase 1. You’re in class for about another 6-8 weeks. Then it’s off the trains. But you do meet up 1 every two months and a few days every quarterly. You will be tested during each class visit on EVERYTHING. And yes the hardest part is showing up.

All the old timers can retire rich. All the new guys are capped at a certain point pension wise. also they keep increasing the tiers for RRB making it hard for some to max those tiers.
-
No they don’t send denials letters
-
Just keep your fingers crossed. There’s a new posting now so it usually takes a few open houses to make a few classes.
-
Application is up for engineer trainee again. Also for Assistant Station Master and Block Operator. Good Luck to all.

I was told once your scored from the minute you take your first test at the open house. The selection process is based on your test scores averaged out including the interview. As for the interview score. Not sure what they’re looking for. I answered them as they came. The Panel is similar to the open house. But more safety sensitive scenarios like “what would you do if you’re stuck between 2 stations during a blizzard? What steps would you take?” They set the bar high. That’s why they invite hundreds of applicants and end up with a class of 10-12

A lot has changed since I got hired. But the process and examining hasn’t. For engineers it’s all about how well you can comprehend, store and recite the information verbatim. This translates to quickly solving an issue out there. But it’s all in the testing. You got to put in the work. It’s overwhelming but it can do be done. There’s 520 engineers on our roster that has done it. But the hiring process hasn’t changed. The way we test later on has changed. It’s all computerized now.but the whole studying process hasn’t. Conductors used to get 7 tries once they start qualifying. Now it’s 3. Engineers is still at 2. But this applies after you pass the S&D after the open house.

I think it’s the same plus some arithmetic since those who applied for AC have some sort of financial background with handling money like retail, etc
-
Just got wind. The last S&D. No one passed.
-
I just heard for the signals and Definitions test only 7 people showed up. It’s getting very competitive now. Or people aren’t putting the time to study or it isn’t worth the time. Idk.
-
Yes. First set of rules, definitions, all verbatim.
-
I heard theres a phase 2 class in august. Not sure tho
-
The process has changed. I’ve seen some of the guys on here have said that it’s the background check first before S&D.
