They typically won't send you if they don't want you as a potential candidate. Not saying you're a shoe in, but you've made it this far. 
I think it was two months for me to hear back. I think your wait time should be shorter though.

^ The start date for the class is September 13th. I'm very sure they are still going through medical checkups for everyone. Hopefully by the end of this week they will start calling. I'm anxious too but try and not think too much of it. | |

I didn't get the call yet. I emailed HR about my status. Hopefully I get a reply. I passed the health examination too. To all those that didn't get a call, just give it another week. They might just be going through the list of candidates to call. We're all anxious.  Good luck to everyone.

Has anyone gotten a call from CN today? I haven't gotten a call yet. I guess I'm out of the pool of candidates. I tried emailing HR but no dice. Anyone happen to have CN HR's number?

The usual politics and bs, but that's relatively minor compared to the rest of it. Training wage is decent, and the pay is quite good once you get out there. Like the work so far. The big thing I'm having a hard time getting used to is the 24/7 on call part. You get rest between, and you can book days off, but it's definitely a lifestyle change.

This requires good communication skills involving specific hand signals or radio to facilitate the safe movement of engines and cars. They work on-call with irregular hours, weekends and holidays. Locomotive Engineers operate diesel-electric locomotives, rail diesel cars, interpret train orders, timetables, train signals, and railway rules and regulations to transport freight in a safe and efficient manner. Locomotive Engineers are promoted from position of Conductor.
