Re: R68/R68A Set on the Bravo

You know who got fired over this.

He was working the Bravo, northbound and made a local stop somewhere between 59 and 125.

After making a proper station stop, conductor opened the doors. Then he released some brake waiting for the conductor to close the doors and give indication.

But.....he released too much brake, and the train rolled and the new conductor pulled the cord and called Control.

His side of the story is that the train barely moved and the conductor overreacted.

But this happened to him previously. He was at Stillwell doing a standing brake test and let off too much brake. Train rolled.

It's a terminal and car cleaners are busy. A car cleaner banged him in when the train rolled.
