With just one car in the station, a Conductor and Train Operator quickly & safely evacuated more than 100 riders from their No. 1 train when confronted with dangerous flooding at 28th St. They couldn’t wait for police and FDNY to arrive. You need 2-person crews for emergencies

It takes a TWU team. Conductor Francis (photo left) handled the crowd in the back 5 cars of the train. TO Roman managed the first five. Single-file evacuation to the first car - the only one in the station - then to the platform. More than 100 riders evacuated quickly/safely.
