Pelham Bay Dave Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted April 18, 2011 Yeah the Fox had a 12-9 this morning. We were talking about how this is happening every week. We got so many T/O's out on 12-9s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INDman Posted April 20, 2011 Share #8 Posted April 20, 2011 A southbound L came in contact with a person on the roadbed at Wilson ave at about 9:40 pm. The person did survive the incident but service was suspend for a half hour between Mytle and broadway junction. From the report, the train didn't come in contact with the sh*thead though several cars went over him. He did climb up between cars without a scratch on him. Can't say the same for the poor bastard that got chewed up by an at 57/6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engr08 Posted April 21, 2011 Share #10 Posted April 21, 2011 These 12-9 are getting out of hand. Like someone said before their are about 2 a week. Everytime i check this forum I can always count on someone reporting a 12-9. Question for some of the TA operaters, because of all the recents 12-9 does it make you nervous to operate these trains? I remember when Amtrak was having all these trespasser strikes it kinda made me a little weary about coming into a station or passing a station at track speed.

INDman Posted April 21, 2011 Share #12 Posted April 21, 2011 Yeah I heard and that one on the L was the train ahead of me.

Pelham Bay Dave Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share #13 Posted April 23, 2011 No I got turn at Mytle. Then when I finally got to Canarcie I did a extra trip to cover the operator run from the 12-9. It getting crazy all these 12-9s around me and had my own near misses. Makes me want to leave the title but I'm a trooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phone could be connected to an office with cameras monitoring the platforms, which in turn could be overseen by humans that could change the signals in time for the train to not enter the station.

As Bill pointed out, drunks and jumpers get hit when its too late to stop the train. Nice try though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She entered the tracks right at the head of the platform, giving the T/O ample time to see her and stop well outside the station, allowing others to remove her from the tracks. /suicide fail. -Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
