RTOMan Posted December 27, 2014 Share #4531 Posted December 27, 2014 Wow that seems like a major no no. Is there any way that could've been avoided? I assume so. Yes it's called "reading your iron"..... One of my classmates split a switch today at 239yd. When you guys get out please take your time and read the rails. It will save your job!!

SubwayGuy Posted December 27, 2014 Share #4532 Posted December 27, 2014 Wow that seems like a major no no. Is there any way that could've been avoided? I assume so. Reading iron, stopping before the heel of the switch, getting the switch number that's against you, calling the yard dispatcher/tower, and saying you don't have the iron at switch ###.

subwaydriver Posted December 28, 2014 Share #4534 Posted December 28, 2014 There are " houligans"the station that you have to be aware of. A houligans is the slang for an automatic signal in the station that might be on grade time that has to be approached at the right speed to clear. If you are going to fast then "CHOW" brakes in emergency because you hit the stop arm. T A hooligan is a horizontal overhead signal that hangs from the ceiling as opposed to a typical vertical signal attached to a pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTAhopefullMatt Posted January 7, 2015 Share #4536 Posted January 7, 2015 Well, I'm assuming there's been no January school car class. Maybe school car will resume in February or March. I called DCAS today and the message indicated that the last appointed was #3316, the same information provided as of 11/30/14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaker013 Posted January 7, 2015 Share #4537 Posted January 7, 2015 I sent an email to Ms. Rivera @ 180 Livingston, this was her reply: Good morning, As of to date, the hiring department have forwarded their request to OMB to hire people. If and when they received approval and class dates have been scheduled – CERT list will be requested from DCAs and letters will be sent inviting the candidate to come in for pre-employment processing. What is OMB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Race Harley Posted January 9, 2015 Share #4539 Posted January 9, 2015 Just want to give a head's up to all. I passed my signal test and all my practicals this week! Damn, it feels good! Now its off to yard posting for three weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEndMan Posted January 9, 2015 Share #4540 Posted January 9, 2015 Congrats. Posting.......I'm in YX now. But if advice.....take notes. It will help you later on down the road when you YX & when you're on your own.I use a pocket pad. Use the maps they give you. Ask questions & above everything else..... do what school car taught you. You will see short cuts & things that your posting instructor can get away with. Don't do them, don't speak of them, act like you never saw the short cut. I saw some things that made me go Holy crap, how do u get away with that. Good luck & be safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tprashad0719 Posted January 12, 2015 Share #4544 Posted January 12, 2015 You guys think they will ever go up to 413x? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixRising Posted January 12, 2015 Share #4545 Posted January 12, 2015 Hi tprashad, Well the good news is that your in the range of the last eligible cerified number as per DCAS which is 4618. That doesn't guarantee a call but it definitely increases chances. Most times an agency reaches all if not most of their eligible certified people while hiring for an exam. Again, I don't work for DCAS or MTA but I would be hopeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixRising Posted January 12, 2015 Share #4546 Posted January 12, 2015 I just called DCAS automated line and my list number (340x) is on an outstanding certification for the since Sunday November 23, 2014. As of Sunday January 11, 2915, I'm currently on an outstanding certification for the first time in 7 weeks. Hopefully, the agency contacts me before my first drug test (urine sample) I provided expires within the 90 day period that'll conclude some time next week. In the event it does expire I was inform I would receive a letter in the mail again, like previously to take a drug test and then proceed with next steps when called again.

MTAhopefullMatt Posted January 12, 2015 Share #4548 Posted January 12, 2015 FYI, I also just got restored to the outstanding certification list, and I'm list #37xx. I'm waiting for my letter for the initial drug test. @loydmike, here's hoping they have a Feb. class they need to fill and you can get started without the delay of re-doing your drug test.
