Any T/O who doesn’t know how many cars are in the consist should be removed from service immediately. Back in the pre Chrystie days, some Jamaica expresses ran with 8 cars and some with 6 and the consists weren’t always the same every day. It was up to the crew to be aware of the number of cars in the consist. When I was a trainmaster assigned to Queens although the official consist of GG trains was 8 (either R-10s or R-32s) we would often make “full service” with a number of 7 car trains and the crews were expected to know what they had. |
