RTOMan

Clowns usually are now as for yer question.... From my experience if you are picking in the Winter its kinda bad (due to the V/R people picking jobs). If yer 1st pick is the Summer it might not be so bad (Due to those same VR people going back to VR) mine wasn't My 1st Pick i got decent jobs on the 6(Two days outta park) and the 5 (Three days out of Dyre) usually as new pick T/O on the PM's good chance yer Saturday Job will be your latest. Mines was a 1713 Report. Also add to that the number of folks leaving the title(Retirement promos ect) which can also change the way the pick goes.

Oh look whos back "Woodlawns and V/C's most famous".... Enjoy your stay while it lasts.... Heard you was nervous as heck when a TSS rode yer train last week didn't run yer trap the way you did here... Just Block the Mental Midget or Get Harry to ban him again..

Word cant stand em myself!

Bah you are used to those BIG WIDTH cabs.. Yer spoiled.... R160>R142 Yeah i went there!!

The A Div every Numbered Line comes outside on a structure...

At least you Folks have something(even if it means shifting through the BS) Folks like me in 2001 had nothing nothing. We came in totally in the dark...

True but heck you dont have to like em!!! (R46 Cough cough). I did learn how to operate it though...

*Picks up Mic* Mammby pammby bull shat is not welcome??? Huh??? We are adults here in this thread bro seriously. You still arent getting it i was in construction too(would have been a foreman if it wasnt for TA) This Just a message board it seems to me you have a issue with folks busting chops. Starting your own thread with just have the admins lock it and send everybody back here. All you need to do like i suggested is to ignore stuff. All jobs have this and since you came from construction yer skin is supposed to be thicker than this i know what ball bustin is. If this get you all upset then you are gonna be one ticked off person down here when folks start calling you rookie and messing with you lets see how it works then. I went through the crap it didnt bother me i just laughed it off, sometimes i just shook my head as long as its not personal so what? You are taking this personal if you ask me and that alone will be an issue say what you want this is how im seeing it. Im giving you good advice here but go ahead and listen to your friend. Im sure with the same amount of time he has down here like i do he knows it all right? A Supervisor who i know who sees this board told me this last night he texted me this after he seen your post.. Too many sensitive folks are out there... Just saying... *Puts down Mic*

You need to learn how to ignore stuff... Child like game room? Ask yer friend(the real brain as you say) about those Nut Job TOs and CRs on the 5 Line or that ATD there who likes to scream at people... Or the TD at VC who will have you in and out all day and yell at you when he feels like it... Thats real live romper room chit for you this is nothing... I wont even get into the ones we have over here in the B Div...

Train Operator for 12 years Open Competitive you are saying these things to the wrong person... Been there Done it... What Div Schoolcar are you in?

You think they want somebody down here who cant grasp something as basic as signals or procedures with thousands of peoples lives at stake? Once you get it though it gets easier doing the same thing in training over and over and over and over helps trust one who went through it from off the street!

You keep thinking that if its known you cant work those cables yer gonna get through Schoolcar you are def dreaming.. How should they trust you if you havent done it yourself?

Ya dont have to like em.. Just learn to operate em...

Nah i dont see em shook up its just the crap TA puts ya through to get hired.. Then more crap after.. They will be Alright...

I got mini wage my 1st week when i started... I came off The Open Competitive List just like most folks here have... DONE...

One thing about working down here dont bother to ask "why" they do chit.. All it will do is give you headaches.. You can say its crazy or stupid yes hey i went through the same thing when i started minimum wage.. I didnt care i had a job that i wanted to have so that didnt bother me at all.

The R68As have the best Dynamic brakes in the system if you ask me but the friction stinks. You grab a good break and Hold it the train will retard... DO NOT FAN those brakes you keep doing that and the dynamic will drop out and the friction will take longer.......... Next thing you know you got cars out....

I think it may be the R68A(5000 Series)

Ah cool.. Wait till you get a Load of those R68As......

You are gonna need em RTO Waits for no one... They may skip you over and tell you to come back...

Im sure the "inside experience" on things is freely talked about here when it comes to Schoolcar aspects of operations and so forth. There are Other things that Unless you are down here is just plain "need to know". When you get down here all will be explained... Senior Man BBbwwwhhhaaaaaa ...

You got the right attitude brother!

If anything some of whats spoken here, and some of whats not...

Close (1057) still thats what we call "Blood Money" you FEEL it after the end of the week if yer working it for five days.. Once in a while is cool Extra or VR those Cats who pick those jobs usually dont have a spring in their step either.. Say NO for every Question on that Effing Computer!!!!!!

Well for some "reason" They couldn't find a TSS if their lives was at stake. So i had to 1st Wrong rail the train back into the station from the South End.. Get the People off the train, then ISO, pull angels lock and retrieve (oh joy).. Then have my C/R Flag me on the radio while i took power from the third car(It was a Slant R40). We forgot to go to Yard and was on B2 for the whole move we had to go through two other stations. I have to say they was impressed, me i was nervous as heck...
