a few months ago they came out with the updated seniority list it was over 2000 trackworker I wanna say currently it’s less than 1800 due to retirees people that got fired and died so far 

I'm listed in the high 700's.. if it weren't for the pandemic,  what would you estimate as a time frame.for being called ? Is it worth waiting or pursuing a other career?

It took me 8 years to get hired I pursued other careers but nothing was like this one so I would say it’s worth the wait, granted I’m not saying wait around until they call because we don’t know when they will especially with the whole pandemic thing but if watever your doing at the time they call isn’t what you love than give it a shot, transit trackworker is one of the best jobs around.

Sweeeet. I'm 130x, so we may process at the same time!

I'm close to you as well. Probably will all process together.

I was so worried when I saw my list was in the low 1,000s but apparently that's good.

Hey just curious to know how job location works I live on eastern long island so would they place you on the LIRR or would it still be city transit? 

Lol a lot of people that live in Long Island that work here would wish for that but unfortunately you would have to work in the city LIRR is its own sector of transit

Definitely will process together. Just patiently waiting for something to happen. We’ll help each other through all of this and hopefully we’ll be on those tracks soon enough!!!

When we get on we’ll get some good seniors I hope too. Wanna throw some new jack jokes? All good. Food is on me. Just teach me everything you know about the rails lol

Hello my daughter did exam 8600 she got a letter stating that she’s eligible with her score but how long will it take before they email her or write her to start the process and what’s the process?

All these other exams is moving from what I see and nothing going on with this exam 

Different departments require a lot of hires unfortunately track is old school and rarely moves especially with so much new people that have been called within the last 3 years

Track Worker  can go to MS 1 via provisional or promotional exam. MS 1s top at around 94k/year(after 5.5 years). MS II Starts at 96K. Supt starts above 100K

MS1 MS2 are hourly employees and are entitled to overtime. They also recieve healthcare for life after 10yeas. they also have more vacation and time off options.  MS1 are generally in the field and do physical labor and responsible for safety. MS2s are more management  and they do no physical labor except rare occaisions. They usaully serve to check to see if jobs are completed or jobs are needed in given area in the system.  

Track is organized in divided  in segments and zones. Each segement has General Supt and each Zone has a Supt. For example T6 "A zone" Each Zone has several ganges, ms1s and ms2. Track is also divided by days and nights for example capital days and capital nights. CD AND CN, two different adminitrations and ways of doing things.


TRACK CAN GO TO RTO/ POWER DISTRIBUTION/SIGNAL VIA EXAM. Power Distribtuion works closely with track and often has provisional positions to recruit track. Their exam is know for being difficult. I beleive PD has the only direct promitional exam. Signal/RTO are open competitve as other twu titles.

Promotional exams award points based up years of service up 10-15 pts. 

  • MS1 maintenance
  • MS1 cleaning
  • MS1 control
  • MS1 office worker
  • MS1 basically can have any random job assignment in track

Track Worker Top is 36. they  go to either Cleaning, Mainteance/Rails or Capital...Nights or Days. night diif is about $1.24

 

TrackWorker Specialist/Full Rate is $37. night diif is about $1.53. Dual Rate ----> Full rate generally after one year based upon pick or bid regardless if u actually performed the work.

  • Welder Burner - often works with gang(more physical labor)
  • Track Inspector - rarely works with gang(less labour)
  • Track Inspector ERT/CAT/TRACK GEOMETRY CAR  - rarely works with gang(less labour)
  • Truck Driver - AT LEAST CDL B -  - rarely works with gang(less labour) usually as punishiment or 
  • Crane Operator - AT LEAST CDL B - never works with gang 
  • Vaccum Operator(Cleaning) -  works with cleaning gang
  • Special Operator(Capital) - occasionally works with gang
  • Flagging Specialist
  • Invetory etc, there other less familir spec spots 

 to me the best spots are ,ERT , driver and crane operator because of less physical labour.
