dp142 Posted May 28, 2013 Share #885 Posted May 28, 2013 Ask about the Rule book and other publications in PDF format. My department ( 3rd Rail / Power Distribution) has just begun doing it. I now have the Rule Book, Flagging Rules as well as other literature and forms on my Android. Hopefully you TSS's Ponds and Williams. You'll learn what you need to know regarding your job title from them as well as how things go "in the real world." with regards to the Transit Authority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bc0v9g9 Posted May 30, 2013 Share #886 Posted May 30, 2013 DP142 - Thanks. I'll ask for pdf versions so i can put keep them on my smartphone too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dp142 Posted May 30, 2013 Share #887 Posted May 30, 2013 Also, someone mentioned a Butcher book. Keep a daily record of what line your on, your conductor, maybe the dispatcher and your hours. Dont trust anyone to do your Time keeping for you. Also note anything unusual like long delays, police activity, the station, employee drop offs, etc. They may come to you a month or two or three later asking about a specific day or incident. I've been asked to produce sick line with the Dr's portion filled out by the Dr (called Dr's lines) for time I took 2 years past or be docked. Keep your copies! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowblock Posted May 30, 2013 Share #888 Posted May 30, 2013 Yeah you can get everything in PDF from TENS, but that doesn't matter since you still won't be allowed to use them as reference while on duty, so if you don't have the physical book with you, you have an incomplete set of equipment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dp142 Posted May 30, 2013 Share #889 Posted May 30, 2013 Snowblock your absolutely right. Especially for those on probation. RTO is a much stricter department then MOW (Maintenance of Way) and the hard copies issued are always better to have. The PDF's are good for when a thought pops in your head and you want to look it up and may not have the hard copies or lose/forget them. Always good to have a weightless back up. The sick form is a must on the phone. In case you forget one or can't get a blank copy- while at your Dr's office ask for the Dr's email address, send theme an email with the form attached and ask them to print it out for you. Most do it without problem knowing how the Transit Authority is a stickler for thier own forms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anonymous operator Posted May 30, 2013 Share #891 Posted May 30, 2013 DP142 - Thanks. I'll ask for pdf versions so i can put keep them on my smartphone too. I don't know about color helmet's restrictions regarding electronic devices but I and everyone in RTO knows that electronic devices are strictly prohibited while on duty for T/O's & C/R's. As we were told by many TSS' "not even in sight". Having it in sight while on duty are grounds for immediate termination. My class "Nov 12" inquired about having the rule book on our devices in order to have less weight to carry around and we were shot down immediately. TSS Leonard told us like this. "If I board your train and come in your cab and ask you for your rule book and you pull out your phone to show it to me can I take you out of service?" Needless to say it wasn't brought up again. Personally I wish it were allowed this way we would have less to carry around. If You observe closely, out of 10 operators 9 have huge backpacks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dp142 Posted May 30, 2013 Share #892 Posted May 30, 2013 I see some things are the same regardless of department. Those in charge make thier own rules as they go along. When I took a refresher course back in Febuary of this year TSS Pond (who is ready to retire soon) was the one who suggested it stating if you get it from the Transit Authority then it's valid. You only need to know the rule and rule number, some say you need to memorize what applies to your dr specific job title, etc. I agree it is best to keep what youv'e been issued in class but be for sure they will pull thier phone out on you to quote what rule you may have violated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
