Two Weeks In

Two weeks into the actual Train Control training at “The District” and we have all managed to successful pass our first exam. In retrospect most of the information presented was review, but a bit more depth to what we, as trainees need to know. In reality I am loving this portion of the training. I feel “in my element” finally getting into the nuts and bolts as to what makes our system so successful.

This test was just the first in a series of 6, the final one being the final exam covering the previous 6 weeks of training. I do believe we will all be succssful candidates and move onto the next phase of training that will be 14 weeks of training on the console, which will include some “seat time.”

I am beginning to feel like a real employee, now that we are actually working on our area of work. I believe the other two guys feel the same.
