Re: [OLDE PHOTO] D-Types At Queensboro Plaza

On the BMT, the road M/M relayed their own trains earlier than most of us realize. The various operating procedures of the divisions underwent several changes over the years. At one time the IND had something written into their work programs called WAD for work as directed similar to the present WAA work as assigned which was used for variousC/R and M/M’s duties like putting in, laying up and relaying trains. The IND for several years went to the use of switchmen for non road duties while the BMT stuck with it in the form of what used to be called T/C for transfer cars. Crew objecting to being ordered to make road trips during T/C time caused to TA to rename the non road time in the work programs to the current WAA.
