Re: Trip Down Memory Lane---Conductor Harry Nugent on #1 Train, 14 Years Ago

On trains with two C/Rs the second position C/R was often referred to as the “rear guard” so it might have been possible that he was not yet fully qualified as a C/R first position. Certain of the IRT cars such as gate cars and the composites on the el had multiple C/Rs so those not “in charge” may have been referred to as simply “guards.” I’m not sure what the official private company titles were prior to unification but after the city took over, those operating doors were all officially titled as “conductors” with sub titles like “first position,” “second position,” and “platform” added as descriptors.
