A co-worker recalls that during the early years of NYCTA take-over of the Rockaway Branch that when Far Rockaway-bound A Trains got to Euclid Avenue there woild be a change of crews. He said that the New York City Transit Authority Motorman would get off and by replaced by a Long Island Rail road Engineer who would take the train the rest of the way out to Far Rockaway (or Rockaway Park). He said that this pecularity existed to the early or mid-60's. Is there any truth to this? Seems to me that if it IS true then it was some kind of consession made by the Transit Authority to the LIRR Engineers Union.
