I was a LIRR Conductor for almost 34 years. In all that time I never had a problem with a drunk commuter during the evening rush hour. The only problems with drunks were on New years eve, st patricks day, and of course the young adults traveling to and from the city on friday and saturday nights. Th...

There is only so much the RR can do, with the amount of trains they run. It only takes one problem to screw up the whole system. One train Breaks down, one switch goes bad, one pedestrian accident, one sick passenger, creates a domino effect that can cause delays on the whole system. Then there are ...

Good thing a cop was going to work, and he pulled his gun and cuffed the guy. For all you new employees, one thin...

Cant Tell you what Number it is, but its a Power Pack an F unit, 600 through 618.

just the equipment with Coupling Pins instead of Traditional Knuckles. We called em the Bulls Prick.

When First delivered, The M-3's Could Not be coupled with the M-1's. The Electronics in the couplers were different. There was originally no plan to run them together.
