Some of the veteran railroaders here knew right away that's it's not possible to run full peak service one day after being totally shut down, but cuomo had to go out on TV and say we hope to have full service by Monday. Once he did that the RR was sunk.

Nothing more than rich spoiled brats throwing a tantrum. If you can afford to take the LIRR to your lucrative job in manhatten you are already doing better than most long islanders. No sympathy here.

I can never tell when Datenail is being sarcastic or serious.

Probably not the full replacement cost but some partial amount. For example if a trainmen loses his service punch he must pay $25 for a replacement punch.

Mark my words: The sleeping giant, better known as the MTA has a much more sinister plan that will affect us all. Some more then others, some sooner rather then later. While the represented folks sleep assured better days are around the next bend, rest assured the MTAs got a special agenda they tho...

Three cheers for Anthony Simon!

I did one better -- Sent a message to our Honorable Governor However, Junior moved on. He is probably feeling the Bern and has delusions of occupying the White House in 2020 He's the one that caused the whole mess! Lol He won't help you, he only makes the RR worse by telling it how to operate and n...

I wonder if anyone at headquarters is watching the weather reports for this weekend

This may be a long winter season....

Then they better contract out to better uniform manufacturers lol. I was bending down once to key onto an M7 when the entire backside of my uniform pants split wide open. I was still new and was not versed in how to "game the system" as this was 100% legit. Lol. A camera would have made no...

It doesn't surprise me that the RR police would side with the "valued customers" when they assault train crew members lol.
I'd love to know how this contrasted to the RR police from 50 years ago who would investigate assault claims against train crew members.

I've been told by managers that the spotters are basically homeless people hired from a temp agency.

Seat checking isnt required on eastbound trains.

What will happen at places like woodside and flushing main st? When you know 20 people got on the train but when you walk through and announce "woodside" tickets only 2 people hand you a ticket? And the rest hide or pretend to be asleep or claim they got checked already. Do you still get c...

I don't have very much figured out, but I have figured out not to put too much weight into what I read on rr.net until I see it with my own two eyes. "Just show up, do your job and go home and you will have nothing to worry about" let them waste millions paying people to watch me punch tha...
