Posted by Fisk Ave Jim on Sat Aug 5 13:18:26 2017, in response to On-Duty Metro-North Conductor Arrested, posted by JayZeeBMT on Sat Aug 5 05:57:32 2017. First of all, the drunk just should have just got on the train & get off at 125 & claim ignorance or, if confronted, say he got on the wrong train. This whole incident could have been avoided if he never spoke to the conductor in the first place ( & hope the doors of his car open up at 125. Sometimes not all of them do.)Second, since the conductor was approached, how was he to know that the "drunk" wasn't some sort of quality control agent checking that he followed the rules? Years ago, MNRR used to have a few guys known as the "goon squad" (trainpersons term) who rode trains to see if train personnel followed all aspects of customer service, courtesy,safety, revenue protection, etc. These guys were all ex conductors btw so they knew the deal. But sometimes they went a little too far. Example, 8 car train & one trainperson and one of these quality control folks walks up to the guy & says, "theres a guy in the third car with his feet on the seat, check it out!" They had few friends. Point being,based on the story as reported, Mr Moran was doing his job in his interaction with the customer. Looks like he might hit the "Metro North Lotto" with this one. |
