NASCAR Posted August 7, 2008 Share #80 Posted August 7, 2008 Today the class was in Jamaica yard cutting and adding cars.We're preparing for the yard movement practical.I'm o.k. with it but I didn't master it.It's not so much of doing the cuts and adds,it's the steps.I'll get it tho..The TSS's are drilling us everyday with it.

Midnite Xpress Posted August 7, 2008 Share #81 Posted August 7, 2008 The 110b car shown in front of the learning center, the NYPD uses for training on how to rescue passengers in the event of an emergency. You'll see the other two 110b's during fire school and the rest of them are in 207st yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NASCAR Posted August 7, 2008 Share #82 Posted August 7, 2008 NASCAR shouldn't you be at work???? We went from 241st terminal, to 238st midlle track, then into the yard (relay). Then we left the yard (they made us work), went to 180st yard to put the train we had there, to get another train from 180st yard, to take back to 239st yard. I got to operate the Bombs, for 2 stops on the middle track. It was a good distance between the stations, and it was fun!!! Tomorrow we will go from 241st, to Flatbush or Livonia. Our TSSs will prefer Livonia as we could possibly go into the yard, but if we go to Flatbush, we will have to leave immediately... I also got to operate a Saki when we got back to 239st yard (was from the 6 line and there for maintenance). Those who they felt needed more experience doing cuts and adds did that, while some of us were at the opposite end, and went up to the Low home (aka dwarf or jack).... I got to read the rails, see some timers, see a call on, see how we go through the wash. Best thing is one part of the practical has disappeared. No more pre-trip inspections. Just cuts and adds, safety stops, and road ops. Reason was, it is hard to do pre-trips on both sides of the trains, as their can be obstructions on one side of the train. So that is a load off the mind. Still I will always do my pre-trip, as I don't have the money to "buy" the train......Only thing I have to get used to, is the 1 controller on the R142 and R142A. I think I am in a power mode, but am actually in coast, and a few times the train rolled backwards in the yard. But it's a learning experience. Once we get a little more hands on experience, we should be more "trusting" of the train.... It ain't like driving a bus, that's for sure.....Yeah, I was messin around on the computer before school.Sooo....You got to operate the train huh?? It's fun isn't it?? Ha Ha..I wish they eliminate the pre-inspections also.:mad:Man,It's TOOOO much. It's good to know, however it will take all day if it's the practical.I've noticed the T/O in yards make NO safety stops and after they add the trains,they NEVER inspect the add or cut.:eek:Tss's told us to observe their behavior and NEVER be like them.They said IF you wan't to sleep good at night,apply Handbrakes to ALL cars left in the yard and do yur inspections..Cover yur behind!

NASCAR Posted August 7, 2008 Share #83 Posted August 7, 2008 However you will they make sure everyone especially T/O's work there a few times while on the Extra List you have lots of Road jobs and about 10 Station Switch jobs per tour exept Mids only one job.Today we were in the dispatcher's office at 71 continental! We're finally face to face with the dispatcher that went crazy when our TSS asked for a relay last week.Well.....I think this person REALLY likes their job.:eek:He/she was yelling and kicking the fan in the tower because it wasn't facing them.:confused:He/she was very aggressive to say the least.:rolleyes:He/she even kicked one of my classmates out the chair that he/she is used to sitting in..lol You can't make this stuff up!

The R38's are good braking trains IF you know how to work them like I do. I can take a brake half way into the station and stop on the 8 CAR marker with no problems as long as its not a fast station.

That Grimace coloured (true English spelling) tie, is out of place also. TSSs uniforms, are the biggest joke of a Supervisors uniform ever....... I am a man of the people, and that itch to make sure no one gets screwed over is itching like crazy. I already asked when the next union shop class will be. I am leaning more towards that direction now........ But if I decide to become a TSS in the future, well they are unionized to, and I can go to become a rep there also.

Problem is, I would be like Roger used to be. In managements face, and telling the TA off, on most issues, that punish the workforce. Like I said before, the closest I got to be a man of the people, was at the charter company I worked for, before I came to the TA. Didn't go down to get 25cents extra for everyone else, and a buck more for myself, like the two most senior people there did. Everyone got $1 more per hour, and started off with more. They did try to con me into accepting more for myself, and forgetting the others. I don't play that, nor did I. It was everyone or no one. Back to the MTA, I don't trust the new management anymore that I trusted Pataki's administration.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelham Bay Dave Posted August 11, 2008 Share #100 Posted August 11, 2008 NASCAR Almost sounds like you where at 179 , CTL or Stillwell. I would put my money on 179 with that PM Line TSS. Now I realised the TSS was wrong but you going to get alot of that when you come on the road. Everyone knew I was promotional so they didn't bug me as much but some still tryed and I found the best way to handle it is be humble about it especially when on Probation. That TSS is not going to write you up directly he can't but can report the incident to his Line Supt and the TSS's names and passes of those in charge of your group. Technically having your cell phone on while on duty is a violation but no one realy say anything unless its distracts you from your job . I know since you spoke up to that TSS he most likely got you on the watch list when its time for your class to be released to the crew office. so don't be suprised if they watch you more then your other classmates because they just waiting for you to mess up and its so easy for a T/O to slip up.
