A subway motorman broke the rules to get urgent medical help for a trainee
who blacked out in his cab and was spitting up blood and the MTA
responded by suspending him without pay for breaching protocol, The Post
has learned.
.
Quincy Calhoun, 59, was training a motorman on the elevated 5 train the
morning of April 17 when his student felt chest pain and fainted as the
train approached Dyre Avenue.
.
Before he collapsed in the cab, the ill trainee went through a red signal,
which threw the brakes into emergency.
.
Calhoun, who has been working for the MTA since 1989, said he tried to
reach the Rail Communication Center via a portable radio for help, but
could not get through since he was in a dead zone.

He went onto the tracks and used a device called a stop arm to disable the
signal, and then split a switch to move the train forward.

The MTA said the move was dangerous, and immediately took him out of
passenger service. Calhoun was then suspended without pay on Monday.

Kevin Harrington, a vice president of rail traffic operations at TWU Local
100, said the trainee would have been in greater danger if Calhoun had
waited for the power to be switched off and medics had had to walk out
over a thousand feet on the track to rescue him.
.
The Transit Authority is being absolutely unreasonable, and it shows their
contempt for human life, particularly their employees, said Harrington,
who said he would have done the same thing that Calhoun did.
.
This is the most outrageous case in my union career. This is an all-time
low.
