elantra06 Posted April 13, 2013 Share #726 Posted April 13, 2013 Had my first track fire today. It was interesting, pm rush south of grand central. Train was packed and i had to shut down the hvac. I then sat there and watched the fire burn while control asked if its safe to go past. Had 2 superintendents walk down from 42 and put it out. It all turned out ok.

I almost got turned at 86th St. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blue Posted April 13, 2013 Share #727 Posted April 13, 2013 I'm currently in the 3/25 schoolcar class and I absolutely love it. This opportunity is definitely a blessing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blue Posted April 13, 2013 Share #730 Posted April 13, 2013 We have Taylor and Albanese. They're on opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to methods of teaching but a wealth of knowledge to gain between the both of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a legend and an artist. You are in good hands. Sent from my LG-MS770 using Tapatalk 2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost got turned at 86th St. yea it was crazy, and talking to control about the situation was a trip. Rcc: is it a smoke condition or do you see flames? Me: i see flames coming up from between the running rails. Rcc: is it safe to go past? Me: negative there are flames between the runnings rails. Rcc: what is on fire? Me: control I'm not close enough to tell what's burning and i don't intend to get any closer. Rcc: stop and stay, stand by.

Sent from my LG-MS770 using Tapatalk 2 You ain't lying when you say Taylor is a legend and an artist. He can't enter a building or yard without people praising him and his drawing skills on those dry erase boards are something else. I couldn't be anymore thankful to have a TSS like him who covers everything from top to bottom. Oh yer gonna have loads of fun,,,, I'm sure there was some sarcasm in there somewhere but I don't think loads wouldn't be the right word for it, I'd say it's more like tons of fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw one of his legendary drawings. Albanese is great. I like his wit, and I always give it right back to him. It's hilarious listening to him bitch about the R150s. Did he tell you to count all the ballast in the yard yet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't mentioned anything about ballast but he did tell me I'd have to hump the 3rd rail if I didn't answer his question correctly lol. Needless to say, I didn't hump the 3rd rail.

Actually no there wasn't any dont assume now! I had both of them as instructors awesome Guys Big Buffs at that.... If you like anything higher number wise than a R36 Albanese will rattle off how bad everything else is. Taylor will always have this smile on his face when he teaches, your Class is lucky you got two of the best learn from them.. If you are in the A Div maybe a Side trip to 207 to see Albanese's "babies" if you are in the B Div You will definitely see them.

Three weeks in I can tell that my class is very fortunate to have these two as instructors. I've heard stories about other instructors and all I can say is that I'm more than glad we have who we have. Tomorrow we'll be at CIYD so I'm sure Albanese will give us a peek at some of his babies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor is my homie!!! Really great guy and as everyone said, he's full of information on transit and knows just about everything about the trains! We had him for a week when Cox was on vaca and although at times I felt the info he was giving us was a bit unnecessary, it was definitely a pleasure to have him. You guys are in good hands!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elantra06 Posted April 18, 2013 Share #749 Posted April 18, 2013 The other day was the longest day I've had so far. I fell to the board at White plains then picked up half a job at Pelham and finished at Weschester yard for a lay up. After almost a month being spoiled on the R142's I'm back on smee euipment today lol. I'm really liking the new badges Harry. Nice....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
