Re: [PHOTOS] The East Bronx IRT Crash of 1957

True. As a h.s.student, I knew a few motormen on the Woodlawn and White Plains lines. The troubling thing here is, with the exception of a blizzard or heavy fog, which had occurred from time to time, visibility on the "el" was pretty clear, enough to judge speed and distance so to avoid such a calamity.
Knowing there would be trains laid up on the middle track, I'd think the motorman would be more cautious.
Unless, of course, he had a med. emergency, or was part of the "wild bunch".
