JMA1982 Posted September 21, 2016 Share #5577 Posted September 21, 2016 Wait, conductors get signal exams now?? No. Only Train Operators. They get 2 of them and have to score a 100 on each or they're out. Don't worry about it. Just concentrate on cutting out doors (depending on what Division you get assigned to), circuit breakers (i.e. - ADC (which feeds the SLR or Signal Light Relay), #24, GL1, D-8 and DC1 and DC2) and trouble shooting. Study that & you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amm0 Posted September 21, 2016 Share #5579 Posted September 21, 2016 Jma your wrong conductors do take a signal exam you must know what a green on green me or a green over yellow must know hand signals buzzer signals so yes conductors must because if you have to do other front operations where the conductor and T/O switch positions Also the SLR is now called the C/R indication circuit breaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubwayGuy Posted September 24, 2016 Share #5586 Posted September 24, 2016 been there, done that. I'm a T/O now, just surprised that they started giving signal exams to conductors now. I didn't do one when I was a conductor. It's not a signal "exam" it's a quiz, they've always done it, it just gets mingled in with all the other quizzes in C/R schoolcar. Must get 80% to pass, like the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubwayGuy Posted September 26, 2016 Share #5588 Posted September 26, 2016 Does anybody know what the mid term is compressed of for conductors Anything you've covered up to that point in schoolcar. Think of it as a tougher version of all the quizzes you've taken so far, since anything is fair game. Circuit breakers, signals, conductor's operation, troubleshooting, procedure, first chapter of the rulebook...all fair game. good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wait has a way of driving you nuts. I called Mrs. Rivera like 5 times today no answer. I have this forum open on my phone checking daily, after a while you just have to relax and let it come to you. But just remember you paid money and waited the wait and this may be the home stretch. Well there's a class starting today so maybe we'll start getting calls.Hopefully, I really want this. We got this far, just got a little more to go, God willing.

JMA1982 Posted September 27, 2016 Share #5596 Posted September 27, 2016 Haven't been on here in a while. Too busy studying & going over my procedures. Racking my brain over the practical & midterm. been there, done that. I'm a T/O now, just surprised that they started giving signal exams to conductors now. I didn't do one when I was a conductor. It's not as many as the TO's need to know. Just certain ones. It was an easy quiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
