Posted by Bill from Maspeth on Sat May 23 13:56:21 2026, in response to DAMM WITH THE SUBWAY SURFING, posted by jimmymc25 on Fri May 22 23:11:21 2026. One kid found on the roadbed, the other one went THRU the roadbed and fell thru the structure. Police boats responded because it was thought the 14 y/o plunged into the East River. He was later found in a lot instead.Now to something I preach about often: what the train crew has to deal with. Questions by NYPD, the OCC and supervision on the scene. Then, because it's assumed the train crew is dirty, they are taken downtown to pee in the cup. Tuesday at 8AM they have to see the NYCT quacks, uh medical staff. Also Labor Relations. But the abuse isn't over yet. The crew is restricted to the platform: stand on your feet all day answering mostly dumb questions in the hot, dirty stations. They can be stuck there for months until all the paperwork is in order and their Line Superintendent signs off on it. All this time, the crew is treated like criminals by senior management as they are not allowed to work their picked job. I went through that nonsense twice in my career and it's not pleasant. Every time a train operator moves that train, it's a risk. This is why they become a Dispatcher or TSS to get off the road. At least half of them are clueless supervisors. Those who stick it out can't wait to pick switching. So glad I'm gone, I discourage people from being a train operator today because it's too risky of a job. As my retirement years go by, I would not do it again. |
