When is the new Atlanta Training Center supposed to be operating at 100%? (i.e. all crafts trained there as intended). Supposedly the engineer school is still in Cumberland,Md. Is the engineer training the only craft that is not at Atlanta?

Well I was just there last week, asked the same question, and couldn't get a firm answer. "Very soon" is the best answer I could get. They need to hurry with it. I'm sure there are some conductors turning down the opportunity because of the uncertainty where they will be training.

That sure is foolish. By turning down their 1st opportunity their setting their eng. seniority back to when they attend the school. instead of their hire date if they attend when 1st called. I'll check with one of the guys here in Miami who is going soon, see where he has been told to report.

Sorry to bring back such an old thread, but figured I'd post here again instead of creating a new, duplicate one.
Reason for asking is somebody mentioned in the "Employment Forum" that their husband was going to Philly for training for the Car Dept. Is Car Dept. training done in Philly?
Just curios as to whether or not the REDI Center is at 100% operation as far as all crafts.
Anybody have more info?

Yes Blippo, I had heard that the last class in Cumberland was supposed to be in July, but haven't heard anything because usually they don't call more classes until the winter (at least around here).
Regarding Carmen training, it's done at AIT in Philly - the same place Conrail used to use for among other things - Conductor training. A friends brother just returned from Carmen school in Philly last week. AIT also offers courses on loco repair aswell - CSX was doing a pay to work program for mechaincs aswell but haven't heard of too many "graduates" yet.
