Back in the old days, many times, if there was no specific train trouble report when the late trains were called for at the end of each rush, command center personnel would merely instruct the terminal supervision to "make it 4" often fudging the statistics heavily. The only time such an "adjustment" might not be necessary would be if the train in question was brought in by a finishing crew that was finishing and claiming a late clear. The 7 Line was a different ball game entirely. in the AM at T/Sq Queens, the ATD on duty would merely record the trains as the came in whether they were in place or out of place. Thus if an express cut out a local at Rawson and came in on the locals arrival time and the local arrived late in its own service but on the express's arrival time both trains would be recorded as "on time." In those days, the statistics had more fudge on them that a chocolate sundae. |
