Hi Nate;I understand your point, and yes, railroaders and transit guys did cover for the reliable and good employees under the operation by the original companies (before government take-over) and I was told some first hand stories along that line by old employees I knew. Father. Cosgrove is a good example (one of many) as to what went on, and he got away with, and was "permitted' by loyal employees "looking the other way..." and covering for all involved on the old IRT and BMT. Times Square, 1928, yeah, the major wreck and the track switchman Baldwin... perhaps we both heard the same story. We will discuss it when we meet ! But I agree, that somehow that scrap train (Starlite Park) motorman was "covered" by his shop and other management pals at E.180th Street for the missing Deck Roof car and any (heh) visible actual damage to the south end of the remaining 3rd car's coupler, chains and air hoses. A quick and easy fix. You and I know what went on in car renumbering and (etc., etc.,) to hide and save various to late become TA Museum cars in the late 1950's -- from the scrappers. Joe F |
