I used to work in the Training Center and was one of Garrett Goble’s Instructors’ when he first came to Transit as a Conductor in April, 2014. He was a good student. He moved up to Train Operator in 2017. Now retired, I learned what happened on the morning of March 27, 2020 in the news and I recognized his name as one of my former students. My prayers and deepest condolences to his family continue. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I was on a R train just yesterday when a homeless pulls out a lighter and then tries to light the seat on fire. There were no people sitting there and I don't think anyone was harmed but I find it crazy that people attempt to do these sorts of things. also RIP Goble

[@MysticTransit]

Yeah, it's wild. We need more effective ways of getting these people out of the system.

[@lcfflc3887]

yess big problem, most of this people have mental illness and are a clicking time bomb, it was overwhelming the amount of homeless people and other characters who uses the subway stations and trains as housing, i was a witness of all of this while living in New York years ago.

A man who sprang into action when others needed help taking no notice of how much danger they all were in. Running into danger to help others regardless of the risk is what I call a true hero! Rest in Peace.

What separates a devoted operator from an ordinary driver is those who are willing to put their life on the line for the safety of the public. Many others would have left their onboard souls to perish but Garrett Goble did the opposite. It cost him his life but his namesake shall live on in infamy.

how did 6366-6370 got repaired if it wasn’t in the fire?

this video sources posted on KZbin by DJ hammer are not reliable is easy to look up for the news information about sources according to the documents I'm not sure if they gonna repair or scrapped but the news sources haven't officially announced yet I will let you know if they scrapped I would of say yes or repair for now is a maybe because 3 cars remain undamaged numbered on 6346 - 6350 only 6347 and 6346 is really damaged I know is hard.

I was actually there. My brother and I were back from a party and we were gonna take the 3 train to go home. I saw the station blocked and when I ducked I saw the whole station being burnt. I was so scared that I couldn’t sleep because I keep thinking of that. Anyways we later went to 96 street. Closed. So we had to a taxi. There was traffic in my road because a lot of people is using taxis since the subway is down. Very sad times

I find it really sad that not only did a Train Op lose his life, it happened on a NEW TECH of all trains. RIP Garret Goble, and sadly R142 cars 6346-6350. I hope that one day the trucks of those cars can be reused for the future R262’s. If not, perhaps 6346-6347 can be preserved at the NYC Fire Museum. Meanwhile cars 6366-6370 might be wrapped a memorial livery dedicated to Garret Goble, kinda like MCI D4500 bus 2185 was in dedication to those who perished on 9/11 after it was badly damaged from the collapse of the Twin Towers.

I DON'T KNOW IF PASSENGERS CAN WALK BETWEEN CARS ON THIS EQUIPMENT, BUT YOU CANNOT GO BETWEEN R44CARS AND NEWER CARS. WHAT IF THIS FIRE WOULD HAVE BROKEN OUT ON THE "A" OR "D" TRAIN 59TH STREET TO 125TJ STREET? PASSENGERS WOULD BE TRAPPED. I SAW THAT BRAKING IN ON "LL" LINE 14ST CROSSTOWN IN 1968. I WAS TOLD THE CARS WERE 65' LONG AND DOORS BETWEEN CARS HAD TO BE LOCKED BECAUSE GAP BETWEEN CARS WAS TOO WIDE ON CURVES. I THOUGHT, WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS A FIRE IN A CAR BETWEEN STATIONS? THE PASSENGERS WOULD BE TRAPPED. I WAS SURE TRANSIT WOULD NEVER BUY 65 FOOT CARS AGAIN, AND THEY DIDN'T. TA BOUGHT 75 FOOT CARS & DOORS HAD TO BE LOCKED. THAT THIS TRAGEDY HAPPENED TO THE T/O TRYING TO DEAL WITH THE FIRE, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MUST WORSE IF IT HAPPENED TO PASSENGERS RIDING BETWEEN STATIONS. SIGNED OLD MOTORMAN, TSS

Just imagine if this happened during pre-covid, especially during rush hour. Harlem is a busy area, and most likely the second car would be completely doomed, and even a man as noble as Mr. Goble(wow, that rhymed!) would not be able to evacuate all the other cars simply because there are too many people. Even more, imagine if it happened in the middle of the tunnel, so you can't leave easily cuz of tracks! R.I.P. to Garrett Goble.
