Re: ''You Can't Sit Down'': CTA

Posted by SelkirkTMO on Wed Jul 16 23:31:54 2008, in response to Re: ''You Can't Sit Down'': CTA, posted by JournalSquare-K-Car on Wed Jul 16 23:23:57 2008.

Can't speak for 160's, only time I ever ran an NTT was for a couple of stops on a set of newly-arrived 143's. There, I sat as instructed. When I ran arnines and 32's, have to admit I preferred to sit until my ass fell asleep and then I'd stand for a while. The older cars had a bench seat which folded up onto the rear bulkhead. And the rules were (imagine they still are) when you were operating in the YARD and/or through a work zone, you were REQUIRED to operate standing. What I actually tended to do more often than not though was drop the bench and lean against it, somewhere between fully standing and sitting. That worked best for me.

When I first saw the post, I thought to myself, "oh noes! they're yanking the bench from the cabs!" Heh. But there's all I can offer ya for a FACTUAL comment. :)
