EXCLUSIVE: Subways will run empty overnight during snowstorm, source says
2015-01-27 05:06:36| Railroads - Topix.net
Gov. Andrew Cuomo's move to shut off the city's subway system overnight on Monday ahead of an anticipated blizzard came as a surprise to transit workers and runs against common sense, because the trains need to move as part of keeping the tracks clear and will be running all night anyway, according to a transit insider. The governor's 6 pm announcement that subway and bus service would be halted completely at 11 pm came as a surprise to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Incident Command Center, where workers first heard about it on the news, said the source, who lacks authorization to speak about internal matters and asked to remain anonymous.
