Thanks my man for the positive post. Gl to you in the future =)

@maxamillion what Div are you in?? How was the schoolcar exp??

AMs Good - convenient for those with families, relatively normal working hours (often easy to get rest), normal pace of work, jobs not often seriously affected by GOs (except on weekends), AM tour has the most overtime (penalty jobs) Bad - on time performance is important and lateness is questioned, large crowds of people, if you drive to work this is the hardest tour to commute in and out on, early AM jobs are very difficult to commute using the system itself to get to as service is minimal in the wee hours, most non-RTO supervision is out during AMs (IE the people that will take you out of service if they observe anything even if minor...remember most RTO supervision is there to help you not write you up). @SubwayGuy who is NON RTO supervision?? Just curious on this.

@subwayguy good info my friend much appreciated Also what back pack are you guys getting for your books and tools??

Has any1 been called for nov 18th class on here?? I would think ppl would have heard something or taking medicals by now.

My moms cousin was a T/O in the 70s and 80s and told me a story he made the CPW 59st to 125th in like 6 and a half he said he was flying and that train was rocking had to start braking almost a whole train length before the station.

Urraca they should go bye list# to pick Division but im with you I hope i get to pick and want the A Div well see man GL.. we all will only be 3 weeks apart so im sure well see each other there. Let us know when you actually get on a train and take one for a JOYRIDE =P

@Urraca did you get to pick your Div?? I'm hoping to get the A coming from Connecticut. Also haha I heard the same thing w the transit pass ill be taking the MNR a lot I hope they courtesy me. I know they aren't supposed to do it but heard a lot of them honor it..ill have a ticket in case though I'm not expecting freebies.

@greeneggs this is true I see your point w the grades and curves. But thats a good point about the express runs and timers. Express should always get to a station before the local

Zactlyyy etrain I'm the type of person to make the best out of anything. I looking forward to this new career and learning curve appreciate the help man

Hahaha u guys are scaring me w AMs. I agree I would think midnights are the best for less traffic and supervision and all but I'm worried about the sleep issue.

Is that how it usually works you get AMs PMs or Midnights then stay on that tour while your a XX?? Also gl to those starting schoolcar this Monday Captgombo & Urraca and any1 else. Keep us in the loop as to what Div you guys get.

Timers have made the system slow overall. They should re evaluate this because they could make the system faster along w the ntt trains now

I just came across this ...this is FAST =P courtesy of Mr Railfan

Axelt the list is good still til October of 2016 and with ppl always retiring and still a shortage of TOs they will possibly make it to 2500. I see them makn it there but that's not a guarantee no1 knows how far they will go tough to say but they are still short TOs and ppl retire everyday. I would keep in contact w Mrs Shivers her number is on this forum and stay in contact with her. Gl to all waiting
