Posted by Train Man Paul : Metro-North's Best Conductor FOR ALL 3 LINES!!! on Tue Jan 15 08:55:04 2013, in response to TWU advises T/Os to enter stations slowly; (handout image), posted by Gold_12th on Mon Jan 14 16:50:27 2013. Have to say, I do agree with this initiative. It has the potential of working, but with the craziness of the world (which no real initiative will ever change) and the location on the platform where a jump or push occurs, 12-9s will be every bit as much as risk as it was before. And this doesn't account for the several instances where trespassers in the tunnels were hit. It is a step, but let's see how much this step will achieve in terms of reduced likelihood of additional fatalities from 12-9s.Although, in the "olden" days, guys used to come cruising into stations in the days when speeds were faster, and I never heard of any higher count in 12-9s, especially fatalities, than now. In fact I have heard of more now (old timers from the TA please do step in with your knowledge about how more often the 12-9 has occurred in those days when speeds were faster as opposed to now. Thanks!!) |
