NS Loco Engineer Training Handbook & Workbook This is a lot of 2 books used by the Norfolk Southern in their training program for Locomotive Engineers: * Locomotive Engineer Training Handbook (October 1992) * Locomotive Engineer Training Operating Rules Workbook (January 1993) The Handbook measures 8.375' x 10.75', and contains 264 pages. The Workbook measures 8.5' x 11', and contains 66 pages. In both books, all pages are crisp, clean, tightly bound to the spine, and have no writing or dog ears. The Handbook includes specifications, cab numbers, and operating equipment make-up for the following locomotives: GP38 AC, GP38-2, GP40, GP40X, GP50, GP49X, GP59, SD35, SD40, SD40-2, SD-50, SD-60, U-23-B, B23-7, B-30-7A, D8-32B, C-30-7, U-30-B, U-30-C, C-36-7, and C-39-8. The Handbook focuses on learning the various systems needed by the Engineer to operate a locomotive. The workbook tests knowledge on many operating rules. Condition of both is Like New.

Both are unused, but have slight soiling on the covers. The books provide an interesting insight into locomotive operation, and the knowledge requirements of an engineer.

Tested at our, the duo turned in nearly identical scores. Proshivka radara str 8500 driver. This absence may be a deal-breaker for because without USB, the firmware can't be upgraded to meet future threats.

Training in GA for conductor, what do we expect? Norfolk Southern jobs forums. 15 secs with each hand all while swinging a railroad lantern. Sounds easy, but two.

I see this question was posted 11 months ago, but maybe I can answer these questions for future conductor trainees. I completed my training yesterday, started with a class of 58 and graduated 55. Two failed the hang test and one just up and left the one night after he decided this was not the job for him.he was 58 years old. About the hang test. Everyone must hang onto a steel ladder constructed exactly like the ladders you will find on railcars. You must hang for approximately 1 min, 15 secs with each hand all while swinging a railroad lantern. Sounds easy, but two people had to leave because they couldn't do this after three attempts.

If you get a notification of a school date go to a playground and practice hanging from a monkeybar. You will need some good leather gloves, not mechanics gloves, or anything made of rubber or cloth. I bought my gloves at a truck stop.figured if they were good enough for truckers, they were good enough for me. Adjusting your grip during the hang test will be enough to make you do it again.

You don't want that! The rest of the day will be spent going over the layout of the facility, meeting your and staff and completing all the other stuff. You will also receive your study guides. Expect homework every night. I spent every night studying, doing take home tests/quizes.

This was common practice for every student and is necessary to complete this course, so if you cannot commit don't go. Week One-learning how to use our guidebooks and locate rules of operation. At least one test or quiz everyday. Only had to wear workboots on day one, then we were allowed to wear street shoes rest of week. Alot of information to take in, but it all comes together in week two. Class days usually last from 8:00 to 4:30, but there were a couple days we had to show up at 7:00.

I will add week two info in additional comment block. Week Two-spent out in the railyard located at the training facility.

I didn’t have any 8mm film to test it. Cosmetically in great shape. Sold 'AS IS', no returns, so please view pictures and be certain before purchasing this item. Please view pics to get a more accurate idea of item's condition.

This was my favorite time and this was when everything we learned in week one really started to make sense. Very knowledgeable employees (NS Retired) showed us how to switch tracks, replace coupler knuckles and air hoses, but the best thing was riding on the cars and locomotives coupling and uncoupling cars. Plan on being outside rain or shine.just like the job requires. The last day of week two will be your evaluation. Each task you practiced during the week will have to be demonstrated and passed. Pay close attention to your instructors in the yard and you will not fail.
