Posted by randyo on Mon Jan 20 16:11:31 2020, in response to Re: 1970 Employee ''RR'' Fourth Avenue Line Timetable, posted by Bill from Maspeth on Mon Jan 20 14:55:40 2020. Back when steels (ABs) made the bulk of BMT service the station drillmen (That’s what BMT switchmen were called to distinguish them from C/Rs assigned as handswitchmen or simply switchmen who threw hand switches in the yards) also had to go under the cars where the cuts/adds were being done the either remove or insert the 9 point jumpers which were needed for door controls. In addition on the el lines as another poster alluded to, the M/M would have to insert and remove train line jumpers at the point where the cuts and adds took place. |
