It clearly obvious to me that you folks haven't been paying attention to the goings on in WMATAland sense Paul Wiedefeld took over as General Manager. He made it perfectly clear to everybody up and down the political food chain that thing ware going to be done different in order to bail out the sinking ship that is Metrorail.One of the first orders was eliminating extended service to allow maintenance of way to have more time to repair the decades of differed maintenance. In the past enterprises would pay WMATA for said extended service, Wiedefeld made it clear, there will be no extended service whether its payed for or not until the ship is righted. As most here know I am one that has a great deal of admiration for what WMATA built over the past 50 years. It bring tears to my eyes the see the depths that WMATA has sunk to because of the attitude of the political leadership to decide to provide service at all cost. Well, they have paid that cost, in both lives and trust. It is my believe that he will restore that trust even if he has to step on some toes and piss a few people off along the way. Wiedefeld in my opinion is the best General Manager WMATA has ever had sense Jackson Graham was named the first General Manager in 1967. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |
