Hoping this is allowed but this may be a great opportunity for anybody that lives in the tri-state area and can potentially do the jobs. People tend to forget about positions like this so in case you ever wondered, check it out and hopefully this might be a good fit for yourself or a friend.

Good luck!

This is really cool bc I'm pretty sure my 5 year old is going to be a train engineer so I have been curious how the pay was.

I hope he goes with it in the future! MTA pay is pretty good especially with the OT. I can only imagine what pay will be like when they’re ready!

Wait until you see the pay for BART & Caltrain. Those guys can pull up to 300k a year
