RTOMan Posted December 13, 2022 Share #2226 Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) All you folks starting will get this info during your time in Schoolcar and as for you new people.. Ill say this is caps to get my point across.... DO NOT TRY TO MOVE ANYTHING FROM UNDER THAT TRAIN IF ITS UNSAFE, ESPEICALLY IF THE DEBRIE THAT PLACED YOUR TRAIN IN EMEGERENCY IS CLOSE TO THAT THRID RAIL.. Now that being said here why i said this taken from a safety advisory bulletin no188-22 (You know those things we are supposed to keep on top of as RTO folks).... On December 10, 2022, a 3 train traveling north entering Nevins Street station went Brakes in Emergency (BIE). The Train Operator (TIO) descended to the roadbed to investigate and observed a debris bag which the TO attempted to remove. The TO was subsequently severely injured when sparks from some object touching the third rail caused serious burns(second degree) to the TO's face and hands. This incident is under active investigation, but this advisory is to remind all employees to practice situational awareness at all times. This is a horrible situation and i feel awful for this TO but please people use common sense down here if it is Unsafe DO NOT do it.. Do not let RCC "use scare tactics" stand your ground.

Friday we took our quiz on the Rules and Regulation and everybody passed. After that we we're given all our books and honestly it's not as bad as I thought terms of weight. The only book that's heavy is our Conductor Induction Guide but everything else is pretty thin. We we're also given are tools (Skeleton Key, Allen key, badge) and finally our schedule for the summer. I got TSS Nierer and TSS Reynoso as my instructors for the B division and I can't wait to finally start hitting the books and learning the job. I report to 34th St. Monday to pick up the rest of our gear and then East New York Yard to learn doorops and cutouts. Enjoy the weekend! Are there any particular backpacks you recommend? I start schoolcar in Jan and I wanted to prepare 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember when you're walking the yard/crossing tracks you'll need to carry it by hand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also got to go to the Coney Island train yard and do the climb test for all conductors! The trains are huge on the track in comparison to when you’re on the station. I believe we climbed a R68, but all 50+ Conductors passed the climb but one which I’m sure they’ll make it on the A division train soon. After that we just did some review for our first quiz tomorrow on the 38 rules. I’m nervous about the climbing part..I’m on the short side,about 5ft..about how tall from the ground is that first step? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TSS will let you step on the rail to give you a "boost" but the B division trains are higher then the A. If you're in the B division and can't climb the train they'll give you a chance on the A. There are short people in transit so I'm sure you can do it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero3012 Posted January 13, 2023 Share #2235 Posted January 13, 2023 Hello I have a question.. is there anything wrong about having pick up location # 25 (59th street, Columbus Circle)? I live in Jersey and thought it would be easier since I normally pass by TimeSquare. Is it a 24hr location? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mediccjh Posted March 31, 2023 Author Share #2248 Posted March 31, 2023 Crew Room Lawyer (def) Usually the loudest person in the Crew Room (or on the Forums), a person who hates their job, who gets in trouble for doing things they aren't supposed to, and passes on bad advice to rookies. To the new people coming down here, some advice, as I was in your shoes once before, and have never forgotten that: Avoid the Crew Room Lawyers. If you have questions about things, find the people who actually know what they're talking about (like @RTOMan). And as I tell all the rookies I come across, if you see me in passing and need to pick my brain about something, feel free to do so. I don't bite (usually). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
