I work in the airlines but if that didn’t work out this would be my second career choice. Great career and hats off to all the conductors and engineers out there who do a heck of a lot more than we realize to help keep us safe.
Better off staying in, the Airlines.
I used to work for Metro-North Commuter Railroad as a Delay-Clerk in the Dispatchers office and then moved to Tower A in GCT as a Lever-man. Great company to work for and I'd like to go back either Dispatcher Trainee or Conductor. My co-worker still work there. Great people to work with. 🤓
I love the conductors on the MNRR! I ride the Hudson usually like every week and I have nice conversations with them. They are very nice.
I always have a great experience riding the Metro-North trains. Thank you to all of the conductors who keep us safe on the trains on our way home. I would love to have an opportunity to work for Metro-North. It sounds and looks like a great career
Fantastic video overview on how different types of people become conductors for the MTA Metro-North Railroad. : )
This always been one of my dream job. Although I have a track safety training with the MTA I'll be more than happy to join the Metro-North. So happy to know how things work at the MNRR✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Any advice on how to get in?
@@Ramdabossybz apply
@@Arenem88 duh you have to apply what he means is the requirements that you need
@@jaydottt_transitfanner There really aren’t any other than having a high school diploma. Nothing makes you any better qualified to be a conductor than the next person because it’s all on the job training.
I used to work at Sirtoa as a conductor and I kind of miss it 😞
And if you don't qualify too full position of conductor after assistant conductor ya ASS IS FIRED 🤣
Wait? Please explain how you can be fired??
@@opti2263 So you have to qualify on the territory. they test you where all the switches, interlockings and signals are. They usually break it up into sections. I believe you get two tries at it. If you don't pass the test the terminate you and there is nothing anyone can do because the goal of an AC is to become a conductor not stay an AC forever. Sometimes a train crew will have two certified conductor but the AC is the one that has the least amount of time certified in that territory of the least sonority. This happens a lot too, sometime a certified conductor is someone's AC on one train and they are the Conductor on the next train.
@@chrisdajer4520 that is true.
I love being a conductor, best place ever. 😉
Derail!!!!
I wish to be a Railroad Conductor either for the LIRR or Metro North.
@@ghostengineer yooooo
Any advice on how to get in?
Hey Robert would you reccomend it? I heard the long hours and not being home isn’t fun
Is there. aphysical for it
Is there any position in metro north with college degree job
Does it include the port Jervis line?
Only for flagging. NJ Transit crews run the trains.
How about cleaning up all the trash on the rails?
That's a janitor's job
Have to disagree with the narrator's comment that to be a conductor you don't need to have any specific skill ( 3:35). You need to be able to, at least, read and comprehend what you are reading, speak clearly, be able to perform basic math computations, and write on a high school level. For freight service, IIRC, you should have enough physical strength to lift a coupler knuckle.
Compared to today not much. They no longer make the announcements when going to stop it's automated I simply ask somebody politely if I should be asleep cuz he wake me up I didn't want to miss my stop apparently that was too much for him. Good thing I woke up and he didn't have to do something that I wasn't making out to be submissive it was just asking for a kind gesture. I remember people commuting from Rye to Grand Central Terminal with wake me up at rye as a pin on their lapel and the conductor did just that. I remember conductor that used to do the weather every morning they no longer do that. Trust me while I appreciate it I'm giving them my money they should be thanking me not the other way around.
lol a conductor isn't responsible for waking u up...theres 100's of other passengers on the train brother
@@MoneyOverFame a Rye commuter has a button that said "wake me up for Rye." The conductor did so.
@@Mcanz7 I'm aware of that. I haven't committed in years so your comment is irrelevant. Plus that train isn't the New Haven Line.
Try and keep up.
@@Mcanz7 Go play in traffic.
@@Mcanz7 but then the conductor's used to let me make the announcements as well. We also had bar car and I remember smoking car.
Assistant Conductor position is open for applications. Visit new.mta.info/careers to apply.

Let me know when you know.
The application website link is in the comments or pin comment
Some of them are really beautiful person 🕊️and other are not
Not much from what I've observed.
I applied. Lets see if they contact me.
Me to I took the exam did u get called ?
I’m very close to starting with Metro North as a coach cleaner. I applied for the job in May 2022. I wasn’t called to take a test until August, I took the test and passed it. I didn’t get an interview until January 2023, accepted the conditional offer, I had to notarize my signature. I took the drug test and physical ability test in February 2023. My training is expected to start in June 2023. I can’t wait to get started!!
@@juniors2sexy Hey! I just received an email on the invitation to take the exam. Soo excited and happy! Will keep you posted.
@@kobyschechter8163 This is upsetting me because WHY are there so many LARGE GAPS in time during this hiring process? I need to plan my life. Who can plan when you apply in like May, take and pass the test in August, don’t hear back until til the following year in February to take ANOTHER test that they only gave you 3 days to study for?
@@niansillabffs I’m gonna make you even more upset right now. They terminated me 30 days into my time there for “not meeting the expectations of the training program.” It was an absolute kick in the face. When you’re on probation they can do whatever the hell they want unfortunately.
I'll Pass, given choice of Metro North Railroad and NYPD! I rather stick with NYPD.
Yup, Fidelis Ad Mortem.
Railroad has a better pension. Can’t beat RR retirement
Wait a minute I know you , you was a LIRR conductor. I know that name . Am I right?
@@libertycitypolicedepartmen4089 Yessir
NYPD is nice, but they aren't treated right by their own government. It sucks
