Re: NJ Transit engineers go on strike @ 12:01 am 5/16/25

For the last few months I've been working afternoon Port Washington. It's like another world. No Jamaica, no skells with three teeth reeking of weed or meth. Some branches are constant problems, a lot of "fuck you, I ain't paying". The LIRR conductor is caught between that, a ton of stupid directives from an overly hands on management, and a crew book that seems to think we don't need to piss or eat. I wouldn't have lasted in that craft. Would have knocked some guy's last three teeth out.

What Allen does not mention is that the service has become far more reliable in recent years, mostly due to the added track capacity on the main line, and elimination of the constantly troublesome grade crossings between New Hyde Park and Hicksville. No one seems any happier on the trains, but it's true.
