duelingdragons Posted October 21, 2008 Share #1 Posted October 21, 2008 I dunno if they're allowed by the or anything, but are there any pics of the T/O cabins on any trains? I'd be interested to what they look at as they're operating the train. Thanks =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted October 21, 2008 Share #2 Posted October 21, 2008 Yes, it is allowed, entering the cab is not. I have been in cabs 6 times on R68/R142/R160. There are some for the R160 on nycsubway.org: http://nycsubway.org/perl/show?83234 http://nycsubway.org/perl/show?91026 http://nycsubway.org/perl/show?45342 http://nycsubway.org/perl/show?72700 http://nycsubway.org/perl/show?72573 Short video: R142: http://nycsubway.org/perl/show?3582 Those are all I have seen on that site. I had a blurry pic of an R68 in one of the threads here too. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BronxBoys77 Posted October 22, 2008 Share #6 Posted October 22, 2008 I have a shot or 2 from this summer somwhere in files From a trip on #6 when I went on a tour of city hall station. They actualy let me operate the train from current city hall station to former old station I olnly got it to 15 mph then at the flashing yellow I had to go to 6 mph it was definitely different though I felt a like a tool afterwards :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted October 22, 2008 Share #10 Posted October 22, 2008 I don't think he is a TA employee. Sounds like someone did a no-no. I wouldn't even go that far, I wouldn't even assume the story is true. Why would an NYCTA employee, at a City Hall tour (big railfan event, i'd say) just let someone else operate a train? Let me go up to the T/O on the E today and ask him if I can take it for a spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul P Posted October 22, 2008 Share #14 Posted October 22, 2008 ya but u and the T/O broe the rules, u need to becareful cuz then u r gonna get blamed if sum1 spots u in the cabin If you are talking about the video it's not mine. It's somebody's from bvestation. And when I got into a cab, it was at night and for 10 secs, so the t/o is careful of what he does. As for that other person, he let you operate a train? Put yourself in the operator's shoes. Do you think you would risk so bad, that you could get fired on the spot! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
