Just to attest, it was rare northbound into 59/CC to *not* enter on station time with a train leaving as I was entering during rush hour, just as we were instructed to "wrap it" leaving to allow trains to enter behind us and to not leave until as we had a clear leaving. As to keying by, it was rarely needed but encouraged. In fact, where there was a risk, there were "NO KEY BY" signs by the ball requiring that we call in before keying by. I remember 7th Ave (53) N/B being one of those - there were others, but not many. And when you called in at 7th for permission, it was almost always given. They'd tell you where your leader was and to use caution. Amazingly, nobody got rear-ended. :)I agree wholeheartedly in disgust that the modus operendi is that every motorperson on the railroad is mentally ill ... :( |
