TWU: 8 is enough - New York Daily News
Lewis Moore, whom a co-worker found unconscious on a work train in the Bronx last week, could have been taken to a nearby station to the south, Toussaint said. But that maneuver, from the middle track, would have clogged subway traffic - so the train was driven seven stations to the north, Toussaint charged.
'They put service before a stricken Transit Authority worker and they wouldn't have done that to a dog,' Toussaint said. 'If it was a dog on the tracks, they would have stopped service ... and spent whatever time was necessary to retrieve the dog.'
Moore was dead by the time the train, which carries a huge crane, arrived at the E. 180th St. station. An initial autopsy was inconclusive. It's unclear, Toussaint said, whether Moore could have been saved.------------------------------------------- posted 5:08 AM :: reference link ::
