dewclaw Posted February 19, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 19, 2019 As the LIRR moves towards centralizing signal and switching systems, how would that pan out for Block Operator job security? Does anyone have an idea on when that would be completed? I ask because I'm currently in the pre-employment process for Block Operator Trainee, and have concerns that as the LIRR moves towards centralized train control and signal switching, that I may be laid off or fired. Regardless, I will pursue employment with the LIRR for this position and make the best of it while I can. If anyone has any higher level knowledge or can bring things into better understanding for me please drop the knowledge here. I guess a similar situation would be when Metro North Railroad switched over completely to centralized train control, for the guys that have been there a while, what happened with those signalers or block operators.
