The system has actually shrunken slightly since my time, but the duties of motor instructors changed when they became TSS' so I can understand they don't have the time they did for road training like they used to. You were expected to know your routes and lineups, you actually had to post on your own time and you got tested on how well you knew things.As to the oddballs, most MMI's of the time would ask you when you passed various locations if you knew what to do if you had to relay there and if you knew, that was the end of it. If you didn't, they'd tell you. 72 on CPW, Canal, 42 on 8th, the interlockings at 34 on 6, North of 167 on the Concourse, center tracks at 2nd Ave were all fair game for "What do you do?" Then again, they weren't out there with radar guns back in my day and weren't busy removing zebras and shorting out signals for efficiency tests either. |
