1. You came in too slow dynamic brakes drop out under 15 MPH.
2 that's right you got Ecam which gives you are hard time when you release and try to get it back. Also harder going at slower speeds.
You will develop your own way the more you work with them. I use to just take 20 to 30 pounds stopping it.
Its always better to pick the division closest to you. Your going to work long hours so your commute has to be a factor. If you live near coney island as an example can you handle a 4 AM report at 241 Wakefield in the BX
We have a T/O shortage in A div do to high turn over for various reasons.
If are stuck in a Div you don't like just keep writing a request to switch. When you have enough senority to pick a job in the other division pick it and then yes school car and post over again exept your just learning about the div and equipment.
Yeah RTOman I agree you can have fun with the job. However got to be on point at all times. Its too crazy the simple stuff I deal with the supt tries to turn it into a bigger problem.
We got one Student put the train BIE 3 times. We got a few other new T/O's with issues. My hand is hurts from all the paper work 4 reports since yesterday 3 Improper train operation cases and a 12-9.
The overrun at TSQ was done by a class they let the regular T/O sit and took over. I guess they hijacked a train because 240 wouldn't give them one. Christopher St was by a Student T/O. The same student let the controller go 2 weeks ago.
I hated the Yard when I started. I use to book off on yard jobs so I always stayed on the road. However thats just me I loved ponding the road. I still miss it and regret this move to TSS. Even when I operate now its only a short distance.
Timing is everything. I would have been in good shape if I stayed a C/R or T/O. However not doing bad as a TSS since last year 15 TSS were promoted or retired. The best part is still no pick so come pick time it should look good.
Two 12-9's Friday. First S/B 1 rumor has it this was another student at 86 St. Then we had a S/B 2 at 34 Street. If it was one interval sooner that would have been a student.
Nice to meet you guys. I heard you all did very well. Even the train I rode was good.
I'm a TSS for both 2 and 5 Lines so any question feel free to talk to me. Keep up the good work!
