Minimum recovery and lunch times are determined by union agreements so regardless of the wishes of the individual line managers the work programs must conform to those agreements. As for the interlining, at the time the interlining between the M and QB, the concept of individual line managers had not yet been introduced to the NYCTA and zone trainmasters were basically in charge although the desk trainmaster in the command center had final say. Interestingly although the QB was technically a part of the M timetables and work programs some of the QB trips that terminated/originated at Astoria were part of the RR work program. Back then, due to the work rules, whether an Astoria QB trip went with the M or the RR work program depended on which would provide greater productivity. AM QB put ins came out of CI or Stl Yd and PM QB layups laid up there so usually, AM QB trips were starting trips for runs and PM QB trips were finishing trips for runs. By the way, the reason that selected QB tripos ran to/from Astoria was that they were needed to provide service on the RR Line out of Astoria so it was usually the first 1 or 2 AM QB trips that went to Astoria in the AM and the last 1 or 2 QB trips in the PM that originated in Astoria so that the could be where they were needed for RR Astoria service. |
