Metro-North to Investigate Video of Distracted Conductor - NBC4

A viewer contacted NBC 4 New York with concerns over a distracted conductor

Metro-North officials say they are trying to identify a train operator captured on video appearing distracted and engrossed in a newspaper while conducting a rush-hour train.

The video was brought to Metro-North's attention by NBC 4 New York after a viewer contacted the station expressing concerns about the conductor, who was reading a newspaper and using a cell phone while the train was in motion.

"He only looked up when the bells went off," John Bingham told NBC 4 New York, referring to the sounds that signal when the train was approaching a station. "That made me nervous. What if one of the bells didn't go off and something happened with the train?"

Bingham said he boarded the 8:34 a.m. Grand Central-bound train at Wakefield Wednesday when he noticed the train operator reading a newspaper "cover to cover" and typing on a cell phone.

The Yonkers resident has been commuting into Manhattan for two years and says he's concerned about conductors being distracted in light of terror plots targeting commuter trains and past train derailments.

What Locomotive or Engine is the "Locomotive Engineer" operating?
On an M8 he's a Motorman, just that that union has fought to keep the title of engineer and the FRA classifies every car of an M8 train a Locomotive.
Just like a PATH subway is a Locomotive Engineer LOL all the way to the bank.

Wrong. He holds a FEDERAL LICENSE as a "Locomotive Engineer"

As opposed to the one in Office Depot who is a Stationery Engineer.

Conductor??? Train Operator??? Engineer??? Make up your minds people (the public or the person/persons who observed) as to who you saw!!!!

Conductors wear uniforms and do not, per se, operate the train!! ENGINEERS do (as MNR does not have "train operators" or motormen)

As far as the offense, that is indeed inexcusable and the person should be disciplined to the fullest!!! More than enough warnings (via train service notices, bulletin orders with rules reminders and changes to operating rules, practices and such, many posted copies previously of FRA Emergency Order 26, etc.) have been posted, written notices by line supervision, etc., plus even our union has issued numerous reminders!! It is indeed inexcusable, and should be taken care of appropriately.

But now, hate to say it, do look for the cab door glass to be covered over more times now.

(updated corrections) Train Engineer Suspended After Video Shows Him Reading Newspaper - NBC4

A viewer sent in this video of a Metro-North engineer reading a newspaper while operating a train. It happened on a morning rush-hour train to Grand Central Terminal Wednesday, June 6.

A Metro-North train engineer has been captured on video appearing distracted and engrossed in a newspaper while operating a rush hour train.

Officials said Thursday that the engineer, an agency employee since 1988 and an engineer since 2001, has been suspended pending the outcome of an investigation. The MTA declined to release his name.

The video was brought to Metro-North's attention by NBC 4 New York after a viewer contacted the station expressing concerns about the train engineer.

"He only looked up when the bells went off," John Bingham told NBC 4 New York, referring to the sounds that signal when the train was approaching a station. "That made me nervous. What if one of the bells didn't go off and something happened with the train?"

Bingham said he boarded the 8:34 a.m. Grand Central-bound train at Wakefield on Wednesday when he noticed the engineer reading a newspaper "cover to cover."

The Yonkers resident has been commuting into Manhattan for two years and says he's concerned about engineers being distracted in light of exposed terror plots targeting commuter trains and of past train derailments attributed to distracted engineers.

He said he planned to file a complaint with Metro-North.

The MTA said in a statement that "reading anything, texting or using cell phones while operating a train is obviously not acceptable. Metro-North will take action to ensure this does not happen again."

After NBC 4 New York reported the story, Metro-North said it planned to reinstruct its train crews on Thursday that the behavior would not be tolerated.

On NJT, Metro North, and LIRR, all locomotive engineers are qualified to run locomotives and do so when that equipment is used. While M-8's or Arrow MU's don't have actual locomotives, the control car of each is considered to be one.

On an M8 he's a Motorman, just that that union has fought to keep the title of engineer

So according to your logic, if an M-8 set breaks down and a diesel set is used as a rescue train, the person who operated the M-8 is not qualified to operate the diesel engine, right?

Bullcrap. Nobody likes rats. Pax stood overlooking the situation and did not once attempt to get the Engineer`s attention. This is not the normal reaction to a scary moment(Standing there to video tape it) This jackwagon just wanted the attention.

We can only hope this person walks on water in his profession...

I`m not defending the Engineer, wrong is wrong, but just sayin! Well back to my flight decks were pilots/and other authorized persons can look out and pax can`t look in.

All NYC-type MU cars *are* "Locomotives" and face the same federal inspection requirements as any other locomotive. They all operate under their own power.

Cab Cars are a different animal: It has no motors to inspect. The control positions of the cab cars do face all applicable inspections of a locomotive as applies to them.

But now, hate to say it, do look for the cab door glass to be covered over more times now.

Easy to solve, penalize operating with the window covered over... apart from denying joy to railfans young and old, covering the window makes secret supervision impossible (I heard that was a managerial complaint about the transverse cabs). Even the threat of it probably keeps people on their toes more.

Covering cab car glass on a MNCR train would be concidered a de-certification, as it is covered in a mandatory directive.
It is basicly same as cutting out a safety device as the front door on eacjh MNCR train is emergency exit.
