Posted by randyo on Thu Dec 29 04:04:31 2022, in response to Re: [PHOTOS] The East Bronx IRT Crash of 1957, posted by Bill Newkirk on Wed Dec 28 14:16:09 2022. There was a story about the M/M who had the Jerome wreck. He had a rep for being pretty much of a wild man and although the TA wanted to demote him, the union went to bat for him and saved his job. He was killed in the accident, and the story was thatSidney Bingham who was the NYCTA chairman at the time approached the union rep at the scene and cussed him ot to the bone. What Bingham said was something like “You G-d damn Son of a bitch. You and your lousy union killed that man. If it hadn’t have been for you we could have busted him to C/R where he wouldn’t have had the opportunity to get into this accident." |
