Makes you wonder...One thing is for sure, Metro-North has been knocked off its high horse as far as excellence in overall customer satisfaction & safety ratings goes. It has a long road ahead to re-build what it once had.But to move to LI for better rail service??? Nah, its not that bad, yet. The LIRR had its turn in the shithouse too. Lets not MNs troubles generate short memories as far as bad things that happened over there in the not too distant past. |

How did they keep things going before Billyware? LOL!Never sell the railroads short. We were running before they had computers. We were even running before they had electricity. Its will take about several hours but sooner or later a manual block system will be set up. We did it during the last blackout. At least there is track power and heat in GCT. My wife is sitting on 877 right now. Larry, RedbirdR33 |

This is what happens when you put all your eggs into one basket in order to save on labor.Rather than have towers manned on the road, the whole operation is done at GCT. So if you have a major failure there, it's all over......................and it is. |

If you're implying some sort of deliberate sabotague might have caused the problem tonite, I sincerely doubt it.First of all, I would guess if an "outside agency" had the ways & means to initiate this, why now?? Why not have it happen in the rush hour where it would have more of an effect?? Nah... Im gonna stick with the story that it was an internal glitch, unless proven wrong |

Of course things happened at towers. My point is that when something happened at one tower on the road, the entire railroad didn't stop.You pick your poison. |

Ever seen traffic light blinking as system is shut down. Do we loose stuff momentarily sometimes, yes we got code lines go down. even towers sat with thumbs up their ass when communications were down. |
