Hi does anyone know if the carman helper position transitions into a journeyman carman at Amtrak?

I have a friend who referred me for a freight conductor position. I did the app, how long should I wait before I try and call? Or should I just let them get back to me?

Been offered a position for NS. Track Supervisor….Need to know what a day in that position looks like. As well as the on call schedule. Also does the on call rate any additional pay?

HI everyone!!!
I need some advice and support from your side.

Who can help me to know how can I start my career in a "railroad" sphere in Canada?
I have university degree and I am 40 year old and I know 3 languages .

As per the title, all 197 of 'em!

Bnsf or union pacific??

If you’re a trainee and you were laid off or got “hired” and haven’t gotten a date to start at the campus yet, apparently the first quarter of the new year the new training program will be ready. So expect to get a call to start back in the new year

Hello I'm a CN employee in Canada and trying to find where I enroll in the shares program through the e-portal. I've asked around the terminal where I'm training but frankly, no one is particularly helpful and none of the answers I've recieved point me in the right direction .

I saw that Cando is hiring conductors near Vaughan, Ontario, and Im curious what sort of training system they have for new hires since they don't seem to require experience. Also, has anyone done their drug test and is it hair or urine?

thx,

Hi, any idea or suggestions to clear interview for train conductor ? What kind of behavioral questions they will ask ? Thank you

After Wilmington how long do you train at your crew base? Do you go to full conductor or are you an assistant conductor? Pay rate is $24.38, is that training pay or is it lower until you finish?

I recently got interview request for Wilkie and revelstoke cpkc for train conductor. Just wondering which one is better. Thank you

I got a job offer for train conductor position i was scheduled to start on May 2024.Actually my work permit was about to expire so i told them about it.They said we cannot proceed with your hiring.Now i got new work permit and my Permanent residency file is in process.Is there any way i can use that job offer to rehire or i have to reapply when the job opens?

Recently my andriod updated and now my old version of f keys isn't working anymore for cats. Its just a black screen. Any you brother have a suggestion?

there was a post on here awhile ago that said that Conductors/Brakemen/Switchmen get their uman seniority when/if ratified and engineers wouldn't get a seniority date until or if they were cut back to a Conductor/Brakemen/Switchmen. Is that correct or incorrect? Not looking for a bitchfest and for what it's worth I voted no.

It’s absolutely amazing how higher up management in CPKCS can get popped for cocaine 3 times and still have POWER. I guess CPKCS does not condone cocaine usage. Can you imagine if all the customers knew of this? This manager is the reason why contracts are being lost. This manager is a Class 1 “wannabe” manager using extreme PSR to the penny, causing customers to bail out when CPKCS requires customers to abide by strict guidelines, yet does not respect the company to match these guidelines. This manager has shareholders snowballed. This managers bullying regimen flows through with his lifestyle as well and somehow has CPKCS by the nads to think it is acceptable. Philosophy of this manager…do as I say not as I do. I expect you to abide by the drug and alcohol ‘no tolerance’ policy, but I’m above the law. TJ is God and KCPCS and their shareholders know it. I can rule the world. FAFO TJ. Wait until the whistle blowers come out; scum.

Petition to the Government of Canada

Whereas:

• The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms exists to ensure the government or anyone acting on its behalf does not interfere with the rights and freedoms of Canadians;
• Section 2(d) of the Charter affirms the right to freedom of association and protects the collective action of individuals in pursuit of common goals when engaging with more powerful entities; including the right to bargain collectively, which requires the ability of employees to participate in the collective withdrawal of services;
• June 14, 2024, Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) received submissions from Canadian National Railway (CN) and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) stating “a work stoppage at CN/CPKC would not cause immediate and serious threat to the safety and health of public”;
• August 9, 2024, CIRB concluded work stoppage at either carrier would not result in an immediate and serious danger to the safety or health of the public;
• August 15, 2024, the Minister of Labour rejected CN’s request for binding arbitration arguing “it was a shared responsibility to bargain in good faith”;
• August 22, 2024, members of Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC) at CN/CPKC were locked out by their employer; and
• August 23, 2024, the Minister of Labour directly interfered with the Charter rights of TCRC by invoking Section 107 Canadian Labour Code directing CIRB to end the work stoppage and impose final binding arbitration.

We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to sustain the provisions of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and not refer instances of labour disputes to third parties including but not limited to the Canada Industrial Relations Board.Petition to the Government of Canada

I've been working for cp for a few months now in moose jaw. i put in a request during the change of card. just got contacted saying they accepted me to go there. he mentioned that windsor is all set schedules compared to moose jaw's spareboard.

should i stay in moose jaw? i did accept the relocation incentives here. $10k for 2 years plus the $5k relocation incentive. i haven't received the $5k yet so wouldn't have to worry about paying it back.

My question to anyone who has recently done the final exam is what to expect?

Should I study a certain review or assessment?

Should I annotate anything specific?

It's open book, but some of the questions are worded in a way in which scrolling through is the only option in the EOM.

Can trains go on tracks that are submerged under water? Like, if I cannot see the rail in the yard due to heavy rain can we refuse to go on it? I recall reading an rule or something about it saying we cannot since we can't see the rail, I cannot seem to find it anywhere.
