budsthe4 0 #1 Posted May 5, 2009 Hello, my brother-in-law was wondering what exactly a Block Operator does on Metro North Railroad? He saw an article somewhere on the internet about the job, but they did not explain it much. All they said was they sit in a tower on or near a bridge with a walkie talkie, and thats it. They did not explain any other tasks for the job. The article he read did mention a location on 138th, but no other locations for the job, and he was trying to figure out where other locations could be. thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
