mediccjh Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share #401 Posted February 12, 2013 Did classroom work today, thankfully with the rain. Went over how to read G.O.s and Work Orders. Joyride tomorrow with an R46 from 207. Destination: possibly Brighton Line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediccjh Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share #402 Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Joyride today on an R46 from 207 St to Euclid Ave. Euclid Ave on the middle track is very deceiving. I came in a little too fast, and barely stopped at the 10-car marker. The Dispatcher came out, laughing, and asked me how much brake I took, and my TSS piped out, "65." Hey, at least I made the stop. We were all laughing about it, but I learned my lesson....looks can be deceiving. Concourse tomorrow to practice for our Yard Practical on Thursday.

elantra06 Posted February 16, 2013 Share #409 Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) I can't believe how fast school car is flying by. I start road posting on Tuesday bright and early at 0400 in the morning. I feel very confident and ready. I'm grateful 95% reporting locations are in the Bronx. Minutes away from my house . Yesterday before we were dismissed from class our TSS's told us to enjoy our last 3 day weekend off. We won't get another one for years to come . Look like my New A Div T/O's may have extended training after school car. Is it true that after my class all future classes when released from school car will go to the yard for 3-6 months before going to the road? I've been hearing that my class and our sister class will be the last ones going straight to the road after schoolcar.

Pelham Bay Dave Posted February 18, 2013 Share #411 Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Thats what they want for A Div but they can't figure out how they going to work in there new plan because not enough TSS' s and that means overtime every day. Also change of the gard the ACTO pushing the idea is being pushed into B Div and A Div getting a new guy. Lots of changes coming in RTO. Also the TSS pick is postponed unit the new guys figure it out. Edited February 18, 2013 by Pelham Bay Dave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elantra06 Posted February 20, 2013 Share #415 Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) My first day of road posting today and I recieved a good evaluation from the TSS that rode my train up to Dyre Ave. Also had a superintendent on my train for a few stops as well. Just got to stay focused and continue to do my best. Job isn't that hard once you follow the rules and do what your suppose to do.

beneka Posted February 20, 2013 Share #417 Posted February 20, 2013 Just finished first day of road posting on 7 line and what a day it was! Started out normal, but then sat around at main st after the 1st trip for 3 hours due to power outages around 94th st. No trains in or out of Main st, service was only from 74th st-Times Square! Situation was cleared up and was able to make one last trip. Learned a valuable tip on braking from the T/O that broke me in...overall today was a success!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh jeez, I'm so sorry to hear that happened to you. Murphy's Law at play, I guess. Remember that it is not your fault or a representation of your skills or training. It's an unfortunate experience that will be a learning experience for you in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
