Yep...they'd smoke out the north end platforms at GCT & in the rush hr, Poughkeepsie trains were routed up tk 4 which is completely enclosed from 59 st to 96 st. With a pair in notch 8 pulling 7 bomb coaches, in the first 2 coaches, the fumes were so thick that you coudn't see from one end of a coach to another. This was tolerated for years.The MTA had a smug response, " You want thru trains?? live with it. This is all we got." But god forbid you lit up a cigarette! |
