Posted by SelkirkTMO on Wed Aug 15 21:30:56 2007, in response to Re: Larry Line Jacked Up...., posted by South Brooklyn Railway on Wed Aug 15 21:21:25 2007. Not all THAT true ... they taught you how to unjam doors (you could hit it with a brake handle, but a ball pein hammer was "out of title") and you could change lamps if there were spares hidden in the bulkhead (usually there were) and you could operate certain cutout valves (after asking if it was OK to do so) but you couldn't open up anything (other than the breaker panel to throw the lamp reverser) or kick a stand to see if it would let go of your wrench (kicks limited to no more than ten) and things of that ilk. You were expected to be able to slipper out a grounded car and pull a knife switch to isolate it and several other things. But you couldn't do all THAT much without "assistance."But MOST stupid little things that would take a train out of service were permissible if you could do it quickly and safely. They wouldn't let you tear down the group switches or tweak slack adjusters though. :) |
