From the mouth of an MTA front office official, the timers enforce posted speed limits and other rulebook defined operating practices. In the past normal operation would run counter to the methods perscribed in the rulebook, enabling the Union, that is otherwise barred from striking, to engage in Rulebook slowdowns.The MTA has been on a decades long quest to remove the threat of rulebook slowdowns by slowing down the system proactively. Moreover, timers remove am element of skill from train operation, further reducing the power of the workers since anyone could be hired off the street and still run the trains safely. The term used was "manual ATO". |
