I didn't say it was the right thing to do, I was just saying what their thought process is and how things are done today You and I know how much the place has been dumbed down over the years and how crews get into trouble for mistakes due to everybody having cell phones, passengers hating transit and all of the employees thereby recording mistakes. In my time, we made mistakes too, indeed fewer, but people didn't have documentation to get us in trouble.When I was a kid, back in the day when the #15 with the R16's were going to Broad St., when the drop back motorman got on at Broad the arriving motorman would tell him 6 or 8, of course the # of cars on the train. When I worked midnights on the D in the summer or 1982 (car availability was extremely short then to the point that the only QB's from STL were the first 2 to Astoria with all the others cancelled), STL made sure CCYD had enough cars for their put ins. I had intervals out of STL that I could have 4, 6, 8 or 10 cars on my trips. Then at 205 they would cut off the extra cars. Normally I had 4 cars during the week on my midnight trips, 6 cars on the weekend, and 10 cars on my last half. And I remembered how many cars I had all the time, never stopped wrong. Today they don't cut at all, except OPTO and still some of the t/o's stop at the wrong marker, enable the conductor, he supposedly points to the board, and cars are STILL opened outside of stations. Go figure. Some of these new people are not putting their entire minds to the job. I blame it on school car. They don't have veteran people teaching anymore down there to hammer stuff and situations into their heads. They are putting brand new TSS' into teaching positions. This is wrong. We both know of one of these who is the exception and is an excellent teacher, but for the most part it's a mistake. |
