When I was a vacation relief M/M in 1969 most of the newer M/M on the V/R roster seemed to prefer the SMEE equipment which was the newest at the time. I was able to get mostly AM work with S/S off even though I wasn’t that high on the V/R roster because I picked old timers’ runs on lines like the LL, M and the old Myrtle Ave el which had the oldest equipment. The only other M/M on the V/R roster who was only a few pegs ahead of me was big Ed Davis who like me preferred prewar equipment to the new stuff. A few old timers I knew mentioned that they preferred the older equipment because they felt that the SMEEs were “too automatic." |
