Everyone I worked with was very eager to help and teach me anything I needed to know. Overall it was great and I got a lot of practice on the trains and on sitting on my ass in the crew rooms!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTOMan Posted January 24, 2013 Share #359 Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) I'm afraid to ask...... It could be because they want these TO's to be on point when they get out on the road.... ATS in the A Div can make or Break you that i can tell you! I see nothing wrong with it, wish we had more training like that back in 2001! Remember the folks we work for are very "reactive" than "Proactive"... Edited January 24, 2013 by RTOMan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowblock Posted January 25, 2013 Share #360 Posted January 25, 2013 I got called back to schoolcar for one day about a month after I finished. Was given a lesson on corner-cab operation, as that was when the started getting all single units. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beneka Posted January 25, 2013 Share #361 Posted January 25, 2013 I wouldnt mind getting a little extra training! As RTOMan said and as ive been hearing, ATS is serious. Its very easy to make a mistake and with ATS they can monitor just about everything in the A division. Took our signal test/practical today....I'm proud to say we all passed!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even still after 2 weeks of road ops then 3 weeks of posting, you should not be making the same mistake 3 days in a row. Someone dropped the ball on that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted January 29, 2013 Share #370 Posted January 29, 2013 By any chance, does anyone know who took an 8-car R160 down CPW/8th Avenue at about 2pm? Didnt see if there was a class up front (I was on a that was pulling in at 59th while that train was pulling in) but I saw a T/O (striped shirt with a jacket) in the 4th car cab with another employee sitting in the 4th car. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those r62's out of NLY got to be the worst in the system. Those breaks have a mind of there own. R62A tomorrow, can't wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
