To the fine people that just started, what's the highest seniority number in your class? I'm wondering how many total track workers they have right now.

Got one from the last class that just got out of training his number is 1962

Can anyone tell me the difference between MTA track worker and LIRR track worker. My number got called for MTA for next week.{16xx} I also applied for LIRR because I'm in Suffolk County. thinking a shorter commute. Thanks

and if you pick a specialist title you get an extra $3 an hour. So you top out at $39 and change.

I thought the same but TW1 meant the Track Worker seniority number. That means by now there probably are over 2000 Track Workers.. whenever I find out what mine is I’ll post it here lol

Yeah that was the track worker seniority number but they are into the 2,000s now I heard. 1500 is for the current exams list number.

So I’m in 24xx’s is there a possibility I could be called this year?

Did you guys have to take another drug test after passing medical? Like when training started.

Once you start training you can get a random drug test at anytime.

Anyone who has been through early training already can let me know what kind of clothing they want or will per you wear day 4 etc?

they give you the equipment you will need ( reflective vest, hard hat, gloves, etc) in terms of clothing you can wear blue jeans or any kind of pants that is dark in color cargos, and for upper body long or short sleeve is fine and you must have construction boots, you will be provided with the website where you can order your boots once you attend final processing at 180.

Today I completed the hiring process I start Monday the 21st 🥳🥳 if wondering my list #141x and cert # was 16x. I also over heard one of the women telling someone that she didn’t know when the next class will be. I’m not sure if their putting a hold on hiring after the march 21st class just updating. Good luck to everyone and hello march 21st class! Hopefully I’m not the only girl 🤞🏾
