Re: Terrible delays on Queens Blvd today + Recent lack of holding lights at 36th/4th

re: Some employees resent the general public,especially railbuffs ...

I unfortunately had the same thing happen to me (as an adult) on Boston's Green Line late 80s- early 90s, and I was only asking a motorman a couple of basic questions. He replied that he was not allowed to answer any questions about operations, and that if I had questions, I should arrange for an instructor or a line supervisor* to accompany me on an LRV.

I can also understand the operator's point of view - he/she needs to concentrate on operating the train/coach and not be distracted by conversations.


*don't know if this is/ or was the correct term, just writing here from memory.
