Quick physical test: 1) First simulation was climbing up and down a ladder off the ground to a platform and vice versa which duplicates a train climb 2) Second simulation was pulling a weight pulley (cant remember how heavy it was but nothing to worry about) towards you with both hands to simulate being able to opening car doors 3) Third simulation was walking over a mat which had rocks underneath with beams to duplicate walking over a track/uneven surface. Also have you step over a obstacle to show you can step over the third rail. Vision test, urine test, hearing test, blood pressure....thats all there is to it. Dont think im forgetting anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the Open House on 11/28 as well and passed everything and am still awaiting that email to the S&D overview as well! Glad to know I am not the only one waiting. I see that they had another open house on 12/8, so I guess they are waiting for all of them to be over before invitations to go out for the S&D overview. Not sure if that was the last open house or not though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noob Posted January 3, 2018 Share #664 Posted January 3, 2018 Happy New Year everyone. I'm new to the forum and I only see 1 forum regarding Block Operator Trainee. I was thinking if the Signal and Definition exam is same as the Assistant Conductor Trainee. I'm going for the Overview on 01/31/2018. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That you have at least 20/40 vision in both eyes, uncorrected. If you have glasses, you should be fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
