I recently got selected to become a train conductor. I’ve read all negative things. I would really like to hear some positive things and what to look out for? & what essentials should I buy to keep me warm in thjs BC winter
Just curious what everyone’s predictions are for CNs upcoming contract renewal?
Hello, I just completed my virtual session today followed by an interview. I personally felt the interview extremely well and during the interview they were telling me about medical test and background checks that needs to completed as part of the hiring.
If they asked if I can do background check, perform medical test in 2 days and asking about joining date - Is it save to assume I am moving forward in this process?
When can I expect to hear back from them about the next steps?
Also, for medical test what can I expect during this assessment?
This hiring is for Toronto/Vaughan/ Aldershot Yard.
If anybody can share their experience or timeline, that would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Hello everyone. So I been wanting to become a train engineer or a conductor for a long time. I loved trains since I was a kid. Currently I'm active military and been in for 15 years. I do plan to retire in 5 years. At the point in time, I don't mind where I live, because I moved around so much so I would pick a job anywhere at this time. I've read its better to be a conductor and then work up to an engineer. My goal would want to be an engineer and I've seen Amtrak engineer jobs available. But can anyone give me advice on what they have experience between Amtrak and freight train conductor. I understand the schedules are different but what is your day to day experience? Thank you.
