[GreenKeys] Fire & Teletype?

Hi Gang:
There was a fire under a  bridge in NYC yesterday.
In the aftermath, there was a post on a  railroad blog that I thought I 
would pass on.

Read the last  line....:-)))

They're still pretty good, but my  dad (FDNY retired, captain*) says they 
were *really* on the ball in the 60's and  70's when the city was burning all 
the time - all that constant action kept them  up to par.

Somewhat related - they have a huge training center on Ward's  Island that 
you can see from the Hell Gate line. I guess this is only on topic  during 
football season? 

Looks like someone at NJT got the engineering  dept mobilized fast to look 
the bridge over. Where are the PEs based out of,  anyway?
