Yes that I understood regarding Phase 2, NYAR mentioned qualifying on all LIRR material. To you're point they did not mention how intense, just that obviously you have to pass and work with LIRR personnel. I appreciate all the thoughts, I truly have heard both sides. Try again they might take you, they probably wont take you but try again for another position, etc. Either way if it works out or not, seems silly not to keep trying. Jeez that's got to be annoying, every two years back and forth negotiating.

Just for clarity "making into the program", are you considering everything before phase1? Its interesting you say that regarding the FRA, I was concerned that this mishap would close me out of other avenues within the industry. Would you believe it the New York & Atlantic made me an offer and Norfolk Southern made me an offer. Both conductors however New York & Atlantic makes their conductors become Locomotive Engineers within a short time or they lose their job. They had a 2 year contract commitment that made me uneasy. Most job's with the MTA or even Amtrak take better care of you Norfolk Southern something just did not feel right when I was doing my homework if you know what I mean

100 questions Three parts (3Hr time limit) 60 Signals (Cant make a single mistake) 20 Indications (Parts 2&3 you can get by with 20%) 20 Definitions (Try not to make mistakes just incase) Very important you are only aloud to take one part at a time, once you turn it in no going back. Hardest for me was honestly nerves. I let my mind get to me and panicked, that's no way to take test. Just breathe and relax (Study, Study, Study) Read, Write, Speak, Flash Cards, Record and listen on you're phone, Bear in mind things may have changed they should go over the structure of the test with you. Good luck! Cheers

Hi All, New to using forum's so please bear with me. I was curious does anyone know if the LIRR gives second chances when going for the locomotive engineer trainee position? Frame of reference made it all the way to S&D Test was in February 2020, failed sadly Applied to the most recent posting #100128 but did not hear anything Mentioned that I failed S&D but have been studying ever since and started a better a job when I re applied In my saved applications I passed pre screening three previous times but seem to have heard no update on the recent application. Also it mentions that Locomotive Engineer Trainee position #96013 has not been filled. #94926 and #93100 have Any thoughts? Happy Holidays and New Year to all!
