They don’t tell you how you scored in the cognitive. I know I passed the synonyms with 42/42 because they had that in front of them. I could see my score on top of the paper. The other parts i don’t know how I scored. I guess pretty high since I made it into the program. That’s why you have to sell yourself in the interview. As for who they pick to move forward. I’m not sure. I passed, they said “IF” selected I would get a email with the next few weeks. I got the email the next day inviting me to the signals and definition. So you can score low and still get into the program as long as your interview is fine? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An invitation to the next step is good. Anything can happen from open house, signals and def to the panel interview. There people in this forum who made it to the panel and got a thank you for applying letters later on. But those who score higher in the cognitive test and pass the interview will move faster than those that score less. The invitation for signals and definition should be high. After they see the amount of work that needs to studied. People start dropping like flies. They usually 30-50 people to signals And Def. For the test date after usually around 20 show up and about 10 pass to the next phase. Edited March 16 by drenyce311 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XChronosX Posted May 11 Share #2681 Posted May 11 I attended my overview on May 9th, and was called first for the interview. Is that a good sign? After the interview the HR lady told me she was recommending me for signals and definitions. What should I expect moving forward? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red5Xwing Posted June 2 Share #2686 Posted June 2 I'd really like to know why my application from February of last year still says "applied", especially since they're running open houses. Hard not to feel ignored especially since I've been trying to get this job since the late 2000s literally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I haven’t experienced this, I have heard that going in person and asking is the best thing to do. They could have misplaced paperwork or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobo Posted July 27 Share #2691 Posted July 27 Does anyone know when next phase 1 classes will Be given? I took my S&D exam a week ago and I am very confident I got 100 on both parts still waiting for my results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drenyce311 Posted July 27 Share #2692 Posted July 27 (edited) A phase 2 just started on 7/10/24. Next class graduates at the end of September. So I’m assuming late August (If there isn’t one happening already). Next class after graduates late November or early December. Also a lot of trainees are dropping out like flies. Either failing out, quitting or fired. Just keep studying to those on the program now. Edited July 27 by drenyce311 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much for replying I have been hearing all kinds of rumors circling around of people saying they heard rumors that we won’t know till 4 months or so. This kinda cleared my head to know when to possibly expect to hear something 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobo Posted August 23 Share #2698 Posted August 23 So I’ve been seeing people say that they got a call today 8/23/24 regarding the locomotive engineer exam, they said they were called for the interview next week. I have yet to revive a call and I’m very confident I passed, but not getting a call has me double thinking now. Or could it be that they are backlogged with so many people to call 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now we have 585 on the roster. The number they want is 600 engineers. This might be the class that fills the gap. I don’t know. Me personally they never reach that much. In the next 4 years, they’re expecting high numbers of retirees. Edited August 23 by drenyce311 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
