So you're one of those motormen who operated BMT equipment both left-handed and right-handed? And often on the same day? Assuming you learned first one way only and did that for a while, how hard was it to learn the other (backwards) way? Did you sometimes confuse the two?

It seems like it must have been like trying to write with your non-dominant hand, or playing the guitar reversed. When was the first class of motormen to come out of school car without having learned the original BMT controls?

At some point future train operators won't learn SMEE operation.
