Rail Control Sergeant to Central. Rail Control Sergeant. Central, trying to look for an update at 205. I'm getting reports by MTA that the aided was removed from the rowbed. I just want to confirm if that's correct. 11 Sergeant, can you confirm if the aided was removed from the rowbed? 10-4, removed from the rowbed. Rail Control Sergeant read? Rail Control Sergeant read, thank you. You're welcome.

It’s reasonable to question how this happens given the slower speed of the D train as it rolls into the last stop, and continues in the same direction on that track to reverse. Perhaps these accidents occurs when the train re-enters the station from the East. 30 years ago my aunt was killed by a D train at this station shortly after my family moved to 205th and Bainbridge.

@mattiejeezy I was wondering how this happened, you may have a point honestly. I’m sorry for your loss, though. Even 30 years later, that’s a tough thing to hear

Jesus maybe rest in peace the third rail is extremely dangerous and if your an untrained train track worker even a uneducated train rider you can miss it even though you don’t mean to
