  1. Varies depending on A or B Division. Full training is (now) I believe 9 months for the B and 7 months for the A. You get starting yard rate during training. Upon completion of training, you progress to starting road rate. Upon completion of 231 "road" days (aka operating trains in passenger service), you progress to full road rate.

     

    As for bags, there is no one size fits all answer. Find one that is durable and works for you, and go with it. You will need to carry - tools, escape mask, safety vest, flashlight, rule book, radio, PPE (gloves/glasses)...with you at minimum. So make sure you can fit all of those things plus anything else you may want with you (water bottle, duct tape, space for snacks, spray deodorant for foul smelling cabs, etc.) in whatever bag you go with. Best piece of advice is go to the store where you're looking at bags, and take a good look at a few to pick the one you want.

    Thank You

  2. I just want to forewarn you;

     

    Be careful. If your attending therapy while in school car, it can be a conflict (court case etc). there is a lot of tracks to walk, and strenuous activities, while in school car and posting. 

    Thanks I will not be attending therapy anymore once i start.
