Hey, any time I can help, just ask. Although for the record, I completed school car 11 years ago (and have since moved from Conductor to Tower Operator).

I wonder if anyone else feels like they get rundown/feel like they are on the verge of getting a cold from working in the 32's. They are so, so, dirty. That is really the only gripe I have about them. I have been working on them a lot on the last few weeks and I never felt like this on the R 160's, or even the 46's. I even noticed a difference when I worked in a 42 cab the other day in the same job, after doing half a trip in a 32, the 42 was just cleaner, the windows shut better and I didn't feel like I was breathing in so much stuff.

Occupational hazard, I guess. But it just got me thinking that a baseline lung Xray, followed by one every 5 or 10 years is probably a good idea for all transit workers that stay on the rails.

The 32s never bothered me, except for the noise. They've got to be the most uninsulated cars in the system.

Well, I was "initiated" last night. As we were leaving 42nd Street Port Authority and I was observing the platform, someone spit in my face (Didn't see who, just felt it.) The safety goggles were totally useless, because there is a big gap at the top of them, so it went right into my left eye. Thank God it wasn't acid, bleach, or something else.

First time for everything, I guess.
