+Young+ Posted November 5, 2016 Share #1 Posted November 5, 2016 It's as hazardous a job as there is in the subway. Danger is always lurking on the tracks. For track worker Louis Gray, it arrived early Thursday, when he was fatally struck by a G train in Brooklyn. A co-worker also was pinned against the tunnel wall. He suffered nine broken ribs, but survived. "Every time we go down to those tracks, our lives are in danger." said John Samuelsen, president of TWU Local 100. "And as you saw this morning, tragedies occur like this far too often." Read more: Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transitfan007 Posted November 5, 2016 Share #2 Posted November 5, 2016 I know exactly where this tragedy happened. It's a dangerous curve where the TO can't see until he or she comes around it. It is very sad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N6 Limited Posted November 6, 2016 Share #3 Posted November 6, 2016 Did the earplugs prevent them from hearing the train? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted November 8, 2016 Share #4 Posted November 8, 2016 While this was a terrible tragedy, please correct your topic title, and job title of Louis Gray. He was not a Track Worker, he was a Conductor, who was doing Construction Flagging. While we have our own Flaggers in Track, Louis Gray was R.T.O. not M.O.W. Thank You. http://www.twulocal100.org/story/fatal-accident-local-100-conductor-another-seriously-injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
