mediccjh Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share #501 Posted March 7, 2013 Tonight we took an R68 from Stillwell to Astoria via the Brighton, to Whitehall to Astoria to Coney via the Sea Beach. 19/19 on my station stops. I made that train my bitch. Twice. Tomorrow night, We go down the from Continental in a R46. It's our last night of Night Road Operations, and I want to end on a high note. The 46 made me its bitch last week; I don't plan on letting it happen again. Flynn & Welsh-El...Cool dudes. Serious about their job and turning out confident/competent T/O's; with a little levity thrown in. I had Welsh-El for a class, and for my Final Yard Practical. Very smart, very thorough, very patient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATCOman Posted March 7, 2013 Share #502 Posted March 7, 2013 I had him for my written final and I agree with you. He likes to refer to the rule book a lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beneka Posted March 7, 2013 Share #503 Posted March 7, 2013 Flynn & Welsh-El...Cool dudes. Serious about their job and turning out confident/competent T/O's; with a little levity thrown in. I had Flynn, Magri and Welsh-El also for my final yard practical. All cool guys....Welsh-El came off as a bit of a hard ass, but i've heard hes pretty good This might be bad news tho for my class....Flynn is one of TA-18's tss's and if he's reassigned already, there's a chance our TSS's might have been reassined as well.....NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beneka Posted March 7, 2013 Share #505 Posted March 7, 2013 Tackled the 62's out of Lenox today...2 trips and although I still need some adjustments in my station stops with them, i feel comfortable operating 'em! Last day of road posting tomorrow then back to school car for two weeks, then we're on our own. Hopefully we still have our original TSS's for the rest of schoolcar Beneka, you're already posting correct? Yeah, road posting...2morrows the last day of that for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediccjh Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share #506 Posted March 8, 2013 Last night was our last night of Road Operations. Took a R46 from Continental to 95 St to Continental to Whitehall to Continental. The 46s out of Jamaica are a helluva lot better than the ones out of Pitkin. Good brakes, receptive train. I got all of my station stops in. Signal test on Monday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poughkipsee Posted March 11, 2013 Share #514 Posted March 11, 2013 Wonder if any one from on here was in the schoolcar class "pre-posting" with TSS Tom @ Van Cortlandt tonight 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediccjh Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share #515 Posted March 11, 2013 Passed my Signal Test. (No, I will not tell you what is on the test. No, I will not tell you how the test goes. You will find out on your own, just like I did.) It's hard to believe that 2/3 of Schoolcar is done. Next week we start Road Posting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelham Bay Dave Posted March 12, 2013 Share #519 Posted March 12, 2013 Ok now who overran TSQ by 2 door panels on the #1 line N/B ? Someone else overran Christopher St S /B. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowblock Posted March 12, 2013 Share #520 Posted March 12, 2013 That's one nice thing about the B-Division. I haven't experienced, let alone even HEARD about a single station overrun all pick, since most stations (except for 135 st....) have a ton of extra platform to work with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relays at Euclid and Broad St., with a tour of Fresh Pond Yard in between. There is no pond there. FACT: It is 72 steps from street level to the platform at Broadway Junction. (Yet I still beat my classmates and Instructors who took the escalator, starting at the same time, while carrying all my crap in my bag on my back.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
