I took a test for a job with the metro north railroad in march and they sent me some papers saying I passed the test and papers to be filled out by a doctor for a physical by my doctor but it says do not have a doctor fill out the papers until they notify me with an interview date. Does anyone know how long this will take between this and getting notified? It has been a while and I do not know anyone who works for the METRO NORTH RR I can ask. Thanks, Charlie

as soon as they can place you in a class. A person I knew got that letter in early December and only gt called in April for the May conductor clas.

the test I took was a different job title than conductor. Do all job titles have to enter a CLASS? thanks, Charlie

yes before being put to work your first getting safety classes etc. in crafts you get classes to instruct you on your duty.

Those safety classes are a good idea for a job that can be dangerous. So if I took the test in march it could take some more time? I was amazed when I went to the 7th floor of GCT to take the test. GCT is so much nicer than penn. I have been through penn many times but had not been to GCT in years and was amazed at how nice it is.
