NJT Memories of 9/11 Options

[jis]

On railroad.net I came across this what I think is a very well written piece by Jtgshu, a NJT conductor, of what transpired on 9/11/01 and how it proved to be one of NJT's finest hour:

I think if you asked anyone who worked for NJT at that time, most would say that NJT did a pretty good job considering the circumstances, myself included

Personally I was in Hoboken, and it was quite impressive seeing "all hands on deck" from guys with 4 days to 40 years on the railroad and with the company helping out. Train crews, management and mechanical, and everyone else that was in Hoboken were out directing and helping the passengers fleeing NYC. Trying to calm them down and assuring them that they were okay was the biggest job, with the hardest part being dealing with the person who became separated from their spouse/child/family/friends or co-workers.

etc...
