"...Give me a good move guys."
With three B39-8's, P&W FPCH rolls downgrade through Milford, Ct., on Track two. This was getting towards the end of the daylight trips back east from Fresh Pond, NY., to New Haven on the Mets, as trains were being added to the schedule and windows were closing to move the increasing length of the train. Many times those six words were said over the radio by RTC's , which, loosely translated, was do what ever you have to do. And we all knew it. I'm sure those words were spoken by District G as the train entered his territory at Devon, and the progress was watched as the train advanced toward New Haven. Most likely adding anxiety was a track OOS further complicating things. Finally, both sides of the job became nocturnal, and then after the Bridgeport and Spuyten Duyvil derailments the word was out. Cool it. And now with the first phase of Acses active the days of "Give me a good move" are nothing but a memory. But it was fun while it lasted.
