  1. I would also add to read the definitions and indications aloud. This way as you break it up into chunks to memorize, your mind subconsciously fills in the blanks when you stumble through the definition. For the longer ones like roadway worker, break it up, don't try to memorize it in its entirety. It will seem impossible at first but the more you do it, the better and more accurate you'll be. If you study for 2-3 hours day, you should know it all a week or two before the test and at that point, it'll just be review.
  2. I would suggest making flashcards for everything. The way that most people's minds work for memory is simply through repetition and even making the physical flashcards helps to get that memorization process started. When you know you get it right 100% of the time, put it aside and cycle through the ones you don't know. After you get them all, put them all back together and make sure you can do it 100% accurately because 99% right is 100% wrong!
  3. I think he means he’s a yard switcher, basically moves trains around the yard but I could be wrong. I don’t know if they refer to the crews that bring trains to layup and back out in revenue as switchers too.
  4. I don’t think too many people fail that interview. As long as you gave a response that wasn’t a straight no or you weren’t willing to learn, I think everyone passes it.
  5. LIRR M9 9197-9198 are at the Kawasaki plant.
  6. Of course, if the bus goes off-route, then the bus doesn't appear on bus time. I think the express buses have the screens set up to after the last pick-up stop, they go blank or just play ads until they reach the first drop-off in Manhattan. I've had a guy that would toggle his destination sign to "MTA Bus" or "Not In Service" after last pick-up stop for whatever reason then proceed to kick us off at 6th Av/36th St because he was lazy. Or the bus sometimes just has a broken tracker.
  7. If not in the Fleet thread, then where? Just random thoughts? I thought it should concern at least the Fleet and Depots thread, just saying that this bus may be oos for awhile due to damage.
  8. 1552 is on the Qm20 Super Express, going to guess that the MCI’s are breaking down more than usual.
  9. They've been struggling to meet service as of late so stripping parts to keep other units alive is probably an act of desperation to run some service. Hopefully, those R211S begin revenue service soon.
  10. Easy I believe 522 regularly operates with 12 cars. The conductor in charge of the doors was all the way in the back and there is a slight curve in scarsdale so he probably closed them once he saw an all clear from a conductor closer to him. Regardless, I believe that the conductor positioned toward the front should have left her key in the door to prevent the doors from closing on her but hindsight is always 20/20.
  11. A little update on the Siemens Chargers for MNR/CDOT. https://ngec.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Metro-North-Railroad-Siemens-NGEC-2024-PPT.pdf so far everything seems on schedule if not early.
