They are not necessarily noted on work programs but they are clearly noted on the actual timetables. In many cases the existence of WAA on work program before a trip means that interval is a put in and the T/O on that trip is putting that train in service. If WAA is displayed after an arriving trip it usually means that trip is a layup and the T/O will be laying that train up. It’s not necessarily a hard and fast rule, but it is generally the case. In some cases, the T/O might be putting in the train ahead of his scheduled interval since it is more desirable at stub terminals like Metropolitan or Woodlawn to have the leaving crew in place and ready to depart rather than to bring the train into the terminal and having the put in crew walk to the opposite end of the train. Similarly, when trains are laid up, it is often the crew that brings the train in ahead of the lay up that actually lays up the train so that the terminal can be cleared as quickly as possible. In terminals like Brighton Beach or certain Stillwell terminals where trains can come directly out of the yard and go in service without changing ends the put in crew usually remains on the train to operate it in passenger service and the reverse occurs with layups at those locations. |
