Ok, well, again, this is one of those issues that I can go either way on. I used to walk to school in first grade by myself. I used to walk to my friends house...

No, MNRR is not perfect. As many people say, however, they are much better than the LIRR. The question (that cannot be answered) is how the LIRR would have ...
Extreme temperature changes don't treat catenary systems well - I think the temp dropped 40+ degrees in that area over the course of 4-5 hours. I don't know...
As has been mentioned here before, people can forgive when something goes wrong. It is all about how you handle it. Twenty years ago when I worked at...
... bill, it just seems-perception or reality-that metro-north is better equipped to handle the unexpected better than the LIRR. Seems that once you...
Well said. I did the same when I worked at Grand Union when I was still in school. You can't turn back the clock but you can make it a little better. Things...

Your story shows how little the public really knows about how the railroad works. A Transportation Department manager (however bad of an attitude he may have)...
That's not the point. I don't think anyone expected that guy to jump into work clothes and fix a switch. I assume that customer was speaking out of anger and...
I think the opposite of what you say is also true - that LIRR managers have very little idea of how passengers feel and how to respond to them. There does...
