DOB2RTO Posted October 8, 2008 Author Share #253 Posted October 8, 2008 This is for those who are the classmates (80 students) of the July 14,2008 class. The student who was among the ten of us who went to the A Div. (TA-06), who I had had posted, who might possibly have cancer, did have malignant cancer, and he had passed away yesterday morning. We were informed by another classmate who had called to see how he was doing yesterday, and we were informed yesterday evening. It was only about 3 weeks ago when he left us ill while yard posting, was diagnosed, and passed away. Too quick......... We are going to find out when a wake will be held, and at least the class of TA-06 will try to attend (depends on his family's wishes). Very sad news. He was only in his early 50's also....... Rest in peace our friend............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the family's wishes are that your class attend the wake, feel free to pass on our condolences from NYCTF Myself and two other classmates who didn't attend the wake yesterday, went today. Sad to see. He was a family man, married for a long time, had children, etc. This does make me cherish life more, and makes me more eager than ever to accomplish what I want in my life. It's an eye awakener........ Tomorrow his family will put him to rest............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruticus Posted October 13, 2008 Share #257 Posted October 13, 2008 Ya you guys best advice is down here watch what you do health wise. Eat right, wear your hearing protection, and other PPE. I wasn't wearing hearing protection for a lil bit then realized when someone I knew that got restricted cause they lost a lil hearing in their left ear. Specially eating wise if you got a nice lady at home tell her to make a little extra to take to work lay off the fried foods out there in them Chinese restaurants. Sorry for the loss of your classmate my mom is a cancer survivor so I know what it must have been like for that family its a rough disease.

Their hot dogs taste sooooo good. Nothing like spending some time in Coney Island checking out the hotties at the beach, the cyclone running and eating some Nathan hot dogs.

DOB2RTO Posted October 17, 2008 Author Share #269 Posted October 17, 2008 Wednesday we started road posting (going out with actual T/Os). I am learning to master the R62As on the and , and actually now have a concept of how to brake them. So far my trainers tell me, I have no real problems that can be scrutinized. The Junkasakis on the 3 will be my ultimate test, and I did have one R62 dawg on the 4 Wednesday (talk about bad luck). The train went slow downhill, and the brakes, oh boooyyyyy........... Still didn't fly out of any stations yet, but came close today on the . Doors were still in though. Even the C/R was smiling and happy with my operation. The thing we were taught is to take your time, but when braking SMEE type trains, you actually want to be moving to get your dynamics working properly, and that is the secret with Junkasaki R62s. If there are no speed restrictions, and the signal allows for it, fly into the station, and take a good brake, possibly even full service. The 62As on the does have the best brakes, followed by the 62As on the (South motors which are 5 car unit are the best, the 6 single north motors are next, and have more of the feel of the retarder in some buses), followed by the and R62s. I hated the R62 and R62A, but after operating in customer service on the (Thursday), and the (today/Friday), I am starting to like those more. I now know how to manipulate, the master controller, for smoother braking. Guess picking up people makes one more serious, and realize that they need to learn this job, and give them a smooth safe quick ride on the SMEE type trains. The new tech is nothing, except for wet leaf season on the Dyre stretch........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomotion69 Posted October 19, 2008 Share #270 Posted October 19, 2008 I went through this at 19, but my mother didn't make it. Became a real man then.........
