Posted by Train Man Paul : Metro-North's Best Conductor FOR ALL 3 LINES!!! on Wed Nov 18 07:09:46 2009, in response to Re: PHOTOS : Head-end on NJT!!! Part III, posted by Dutchrailnut on Wed Nov 18 05:54:48 2009. True, on the road on MNR the headlights are supposed to be on and the markers off except on the rear end, but on the LIRR it is used as a form of communication to indicate the train is being run with a shorter than normal consist and that passengers are supposed to position themselves properly on the platform for boarding. It is indicated in all LIRR public timetables. And I am not gonna discuss rules here, but I am sorry to say there is NO SUCH RULE which says the markers are not to be on when on the head end of a move. If that's the case, many conductors and yard crews would be out of service, not to mention the occassional engineer who forgets to shut such off before running on the road. |
