I am currently furloughed with NS and was wondering when I am called back what kind of testing will I have..ie. physical, drug tests, written tests? Any info is greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure what the requirements are in time lenghts for a physical these days if any on a furlough. I know physicals are required for injures, illness, time in the street in excess of 90 days. Testing would just be getting current with the yearly operating rules requirements ect...which has to be done anyways. I know times have changed. When I use to get furloughed during the winter between 3-4 months they just called me to mark back up.
