Last year and this year. They sent out the invite quicker this year. This would be my second time going for the AC position though. First time getting an invite for the Locomotive Engineer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ListNumber14xx Posted May 7, 2019 Share #1554 Posted May 7, 2019 Also got invited for the May 16th open house. I applied in February? I know it was a couple months ago. Guess we'll be taking the cognitive exam that day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn6791 Posted May 13, 2019 Share #1556 Posted May 13, 2019 Does anyone know if the hiring freeze that cancelled April's class is still in effect? I'm hoping it doesn't affect the class that's supposed to start in the Fall; I'm really looking forward to getting on board... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks but you need to be prepared to just get any one of them and spit it out, but keep in mind you need to get 100% on the signals, so make sure if anything those are known...you can spare missing a definition here and there if I remember correctly, also don’t leave anything blank! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I passed the S&D in the beginning of March and still haven’t heard anything. How many people passed with u in march? I would like to know if they even have enough people to fill up a class which is why im asking these questions? i would think there are also people who passed in 2018 and are still waiting to be placed in a class? Has anyone heard anything at all in regards to when the next class will be starting? I have heard fall, then i heard august, and now the latest im hearing is that they dont have enough people who passed sd test to fill up a class and therefor there will be no more classes this year. I really am hoping that this is just a rumor and is totally not the case. I have to believe there are at least 24 people who passed sd test dating back to fall/ winter 2018 plus all the people who passed in 2019 and are also waiting for a class to start. Anyone have any idea? Thank you for your time everyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainguy123456 Posted June 30, 2019 Share #1574 Posted June 30, 2019 Maybe it takes forever to fill a class because 5 weeks isn't enough time to remember verbatim 75 definitions and 40+ verbatim indications while holding a full time job 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re already selling yourself short with that attitude. Maybe this isn’t for you... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
