Beschreibung

While many have written about the New York City subway system, a century of published books​ says little about the subway as a workplace. Older books describe railroad lines and equipment ​and new​er ones transit unions and building projects. None of this subway literature, however, portrays the motormen operating the trains and the porters cleaning over 400 stations. Railroaded describes these jobs, which ​the author, Fred Naiden, an award-winning Harvard-trained historian, held in the ​1980s before beginning a successful second career in academia. ​His academic training enabled him to make comparisons between transit work today and in the past, beginning with horsecars and elevated trains.

This is the story of ​N​aiden's ​t​enure as NYCTA employee #4046.
