You're welcome and hope to see you when you're posting or on the job soon

If you want the A division, make sure to put it on the sheet that asks which division you want to be in. Just know that if you get out into the B division, when you get to pick your tour and RDOs after a few months, you can ask for a transfer to the A. And the r32s/r42s is the equipment that used to run on the B division but are retired. They are now used for garbage trains

Like it was said earlier, first few days will be speaking with the union, and orientation. Then you'll meet your instructor TSS's who will explain how things will go. (If I remember correctly, they ask what division you want to go to as well). You'll have the information about the equipment, just have to read, pay attention (ask questions if you have), etc. Just a reminder, if you go to the B division, no r32s/r42s due to them being retired. Plus ask your fellow students for help as well.

Ya got this!

Afternoon all. Look forward to seeing and working with ya in the near future. For those about to start schoolcar soon, best of luck. Any questions feel free to ask your instructors and any conductor (including myself) who has been on the job for a while now

130 Livingston

They do offer direct deposit but it can take up to two pay cycles for it to deposit via direct

You will get two pieces of paper with your official start date on it

Well, all they want to know is from present to highschool. Even years you were unemployed.

Just answer the questions they ask for and don't be afraid to ask for help. If you explain you were discharged from the Navy due to injury, should be no problem

Anything after 8 hours in transit is considered OT

The crew office would make sure you have 12 hour rest between jobs. The OT will come but they will make sure you have 12 hours in between jobs. The dispatcher may ask if you want to do OT as well ask what time you work the next day

Dezoning is when you go and change operating cabs for the next interval.

The only exception is on weekdays at Continental during the AMs, C/Rs on the and don't have to dezone. And the next conductor comes on and closes the doors. On the C/Rs don't have to dezone. The other exception is if the train is going out if service upon arrival, then the C/R just has to open on the operating cab

Considering you live in Connecticut and have to take the Metro-North, choose A division. Only B division trains I can think of that can connect to the Metro-North are the (weekdays and evenings only) and the at Yankee Stadium and the rest of the Concourse line

Depending on which line you are on, it could be 3, could be 4, could even be 5 or just 1.5

Jesus Christ D 🤣🤣🤣

@kellgh is in the B division. She was in my class 😂 And it's all good. What's your XX list number?

Surprised you didn't go to a B division pick location

Naw D you good you jamook lol

Lol it's all good. Been busy working the Midnight's but now I'm on PM's. Actually going in now. Congrats. Soon you won't have to be evaluated by TSS almost everyday.

As everyone said, there are different ways. Most notably would be the holding lights (Amber lights) will be illuminated. For places that don't have holding lights, be governed by the local tower, i.e. Kew tower for Briarwood, Sutphin, and Jamaica Van Wyck. They can also hold you because they gave you a push out of the terminal. In most stations, you can see the signal at the leaving end of the station. If it's red, leave it open. Yellow you can close unless your partner gives you a buzz

I would advise once you get into your respective classes, create a whatsapp for your class. There you can help each other out.

School car is M-F. They will split you guys into classes and the division you will work

A couple of weeks...make sure they fit because if some don't, you have to send them back. And keep the receipt for proof
