Conductor Stopped The Train For Me After I Was Laid Off

By A Friend • March 5, 2025

I was laid off and had to go into the office this morning just to drop off equipment. I commute by train out of the city, so there’s only one train down and one back I could catch in the morning. Over the past several months, I’ve become friends with the staff/conductors and since I am a reverse flow commuter, I’m one of few on my route.

It was tight getting back to the train station from the office, and by the time I made it back, the train was pulling out. But, the conductors saw me and stopped the train so I could get on. The same conductor that helps me onto the train almost every morning because it’s a big step up, same conductor that says hi every morning, fills me in on stories, etc.

Having to go to your old office and drop off equipment just to come back and miss your train is sad. Him stopping the train for me made my day.
