Re: 1970 Employee ''RR'' Fourth Avenue Line Timetable

I'm not sure what you are asking in the first part of your question but if I do: who does what is up to the dispatcher but since the station switchman had seniority, he stayed in the station while the other 3 had to walk back and forth to the yard and had to climb up and down the trains. A good dispatcher would have the same guy who laid up given trains earlier would have him bring the same ones back up later.

As long as the locks break upon insertion of the cutting key it was a snap to cut any train up to an R42. Without giving away trade secrets which may offend the purists, after that just back away and charge up both 4 car trains making sure both pieces have motormans indication. A platform c/r would set up the c/r positions on both trains. Adding: make sure the couplers are aligned and make the add.
