Posted by heypaul on Tue Oct 21 21:37:05 2014 The Daily News has an interesting profile of transit worker Frank Gurrera who will turn 90 this month. Mr. Gurrera maintains the little known herd of work horses, who pull loads of track ballast in areas where a diesel's smoke would be poisonous. He is responsible for the fabrication of parts for the horses' hoofs to heels.Frank Gurrera |

I don't know how many years he has on the job but God bless him. Previously I had the most senior Car Inspector working for me. "Rocky" DiGrazziano was 83 years old and had 46 years with the TA when he passed. |

Yes, I remember when you were interviewed about "Rocky" on Transit Transit and when he died several months later.Do you know much about the work horse fleet? Were they ever kept in any of the barns that you worked in? |
