PATH conductor position (was: Re: ''History'' Questions on the offset C/R position on 8-car trains) |

Posted by Asgard on Tue Mar 31 23:54:49 2026, in response to "History" Questions on the offset C/R position on 8-car trains, posted by New Flyer #857 on Fri Mar 27 07:13:50 2026. This thread reminded me of something I've wondered about.As far as I can remember, back to the end of the black car era, PATH conductors were at the rear of the first/front of the second car. I wondered then why they weren't closer to the center. A couple of years ago, I noticed a conductor working from the center of the train. I asked her, and she said that had started with the full-width cabs of the PA5s. I've recently seen conductors back at the first/second car position -- but always on crowded trains or when I was in a hurry and wasn't able to ask them about it. Does anyone know why they've been traditionally at the front, and briefly at the center? Thanks! |
