Posted by Railman718 on Fri Dec 15 14:02:37 2006, in response to Re: R142 6770, posted by David of Broadway on Fri Dec 15 12:04:44 2006. I have seen this from time to time when i was on the East Side a lot, why the 0750 out of ZooLots did it is beyond me but i know of a few reasons WHY they do that i will give you two exapmles, one good one bad..Frist the Good. Since its a drop-out at the East and there is a Dyre Ave bound 5 train right behind it along with a bunch of other trains, Mott tells the crew to go express to the East to just get the train out of the way and not have a lot of congestion at the East when the crew cleans the train out. Sometimes you have Dyre Lay-ups at the East too on M track and/or 2 Track as well. Now the Bad... I will make this short and sweet as possible, T/O or C/R had a "uh-oh",and they keep it moving, NOT SMART... Somebody dropped a dime,made a phone call, this Does happen. Mott Tells them go express to East 180 Street, since its a drop out anyway so what? Who cares if the next train is ten minutes away they WANT that train now.They get there dump the train clean it out and the crew goes on its merry way... An RCI goes on real quick opens a panel pushes a button, looks at the TOD, finds something "interesting" train goes RIGHT to the Barn... Depending on the situtation, Before they do thier Next Trip or Sign Out somebody is talking to somebody donwtown, and its not a "how are you doing" chat either. I will leave it at that anybody who posts here who works in RTO knows how the rest of the story goes.. Beleive It Or Not... |
