I heard there's 3 Train Operator classes that just started and that they're all A division. Is that right? No B division?

Yea that’s correct. They all got drafted to the A.

For those in school car hows your progress going? Are the instructors helpful in teaching the information? 

Schoolcar is cool. It’s a lot of work at first but it starts to click after a while. The instructors for my class are great, they don’t make it easy but they definitely have us well prepared. Also FYI I heard there will be a class late October for all of you who’ve been antsy and wondering.

We go down the road tomorrow for the first time. Going to take turns on the 1 train. I'm really excited for it. 

 

I have operated just a little bit in the yard but not much. 

When was your induction class?

Yeah like what @Jay-Oh said I wouldn’t try to look too much into the signals right now. I was guilt of that also and was stressing out, lol, but once I got to school car and the TSS explained it thoroughly, it all made sense. My advice would be study the first 3 chapters and you’ll be fine! 

Yeah I tried to look into the signals and things, while I understood some I couldn’t understand much. It was like reading another language bcuz I don’t know what any of this means. I just decided not to stress bcuz I know once I get into training I’ll be just fine once it’s being explained to me and not me trying to teach myself on something I know nothing of. Thanks for all of you guys feedback, so excited to get started in 2 weeks.

Just to go back to the gray shirt and blue pants we’re suppose to wear until we get our uniforms. I’m looking to get precise details (does the color of the gray matter) and do we have to wear our boots right away even before we hit the yard? Thanks

Folks, today we were told stricter guidelines for our temporary uniform. Gray shirt, no polos. Has to be a gray button down. 

 

Navy pants, cannot be cargo pants. No pockets on the sides. So now I have to go and find another pair of pants before tomorrow's class. Too late to order on Amazon obviously. 

 

So just an FYI in u haven't bought your stuff yet. No cargo pants, no polo shirts. 

 

I think it's crazy since we getting uniforms anyway, but rules are rules. 

Thanks for this useful info.

maybe i'm bugging

Might be lmaooo. Telling someone to get a white shirt when we’re instructed to wear grey lol. Tryna set someone up for failure. Word of advice I’ve heard from transit vets, Make sure you dot your “I”s and cross your “T”s always, ESPECIALLY this first year. Just do as your instructed and that’s all. Nothing else, it’s not rocket science unless you make it. This goes for everyone not singling you out @nipaaaa

Do we have to wear the boots right away to the classes along with the gray shirt and blue pants even before we get on the yard?

They did get the memo; problem is they paid no attention to it.

Are we suppose to wear the boots on the first day to orientation?

Sworn in today for Aug 19th. Super exciting 

Received my medical email this morning. Have to report this Monday, being considered for August 19th class. List #109x

180 is very disorganized. Who told your friend that they were only up to 1069? That has to be wrong 

Not sure who he spoke to but yeah something isn’t right.

Not sure what’s really going on but a friend of mine stated he just called Livingston and they stated they were only up to list number 1069 for medicals and he’s 107x and still haven’t received anything. Weird to see some folks in the 108x’s receive a email for medical and supposedly up to 1092 as per Ms Vargas just this morning and he’s before them and still yet to receive anything.

Email for medical was send out . I got my email for Thursday for medical 

This Thursday, 7/11? List number range?

With more calls happening it looks like something might be in the works even past August hopefully.

Just got my email to go in for medical June 17. List #97x

That’s awesome, this means they’ll definitely be getting into the 1000s for July. I’m 109x and I’m expecting August. Someone said July for highs 1000s but I’ll be surprised to see that. Good luck to you.

Wassup with the July class medical tho? Any word for anyone being called in for final processing for July?

In the low 1100s.

I hope your right and I don’t want to bring negativity but I doubt you’ll be in the July class. I’m sure they’re at least half way full or almost full already for the June class. That still leaves almost 200 candidates before you. I’m list 109x and thinking August realistically for myself.

Just left 180 and I start June 10th. See all my fellow classmates that got hired for that date as well. 

Congrats man. List number?

You are going to be in class with me . Watch . We are making this July class . 😉

I hope so man. I believe I definitely have a legit shot for August, that’s the class I prefer anyway lol so fingers crossed 🤞🏾

Nice. This could possibly mean they may have more classes even after August. This makes someone like me with list number 109x hopeful for a class very soon.

Just got sworn in a few mins ago. I asked the person that sworn me about a possible July or August class. She said she not aware that right now she can only confirm June 10

Congrats man. List number?
