Its the number of how many people are ahead of you to be hired. Your list # is just based on how you tested.

Really? Cuz I have been hearing of a lot of people having to fill G2s and talk to superintendents for accidentally going BIE when the train is not even moving. 

Some Supts want G2s just for that file...

Also to see if its done often by said person..

Its all about paperwork down here.

Talking to supt and writing a g2 doesn’t automatically mean you’re in trouble. Just remember to keep your statement concise and to the point. Don’t give up more detail than necessary. Cover your ass.

I dropped the handle when I was fresh out, spoke to a supt & TSS, then wrote a G2, nothing came of it.

Most of the time they have you speak to supervision/management to see if you’re impaired in anyway (aka drunk, high) after an incident.

So if your certification number is expired and you haven’t been contacted yet, does that mean you’re no longer in the running for the position?

 No cause I was called for pre employ after my certification expired. It just means they havent updated it yet. I know people in the 3800 are being called for medical so I just subtracted my number from theres.

Hi All

Never thought I'll be back on the forums, but life can be funny this way.
Took T/O exam back in 2017 and few days ago received the invitation to 180 Livingston for pre employment. (list #4705 fyi)
In these years I have completed my BArch and been working in the design industry. It' a predictable 9-6, M-F routine with ok pay and eh benefits.
Has anyone here left a similar field for a T/O position? What was your experience like?
 

Two other questions come to mind:

• How much do you rely on the radio to communicate en route?
• Does anyone commute from NJ?

Appreciate all the feedback!
