IMPENDING 76-52
Well my signup is over and after almost 12 years I am finally going to get to experience the 76, a route that I have feared since coming to TRIMET.
After investigating complete with interviewing the current driver of this train I decided that maybe my fears are completely unfounded. The current driver actually loves this work.
I got this communication from one of my good pals who has done this route before;
HERE IS WHAT HE HAD TO SAY ABOUT IT:
I didn't want to work weekends during the summer. I drove the 76 with one 78 trip last spring right before they were combined with the 52. With that late of a start you will have absolutely no problem with traffic, I never did, so yes, you should get all of your breaks. The most memorable thing I remember about it was that one guy called me an albino nigger when I wouldn't let him bring his bike on board the bus. He and I were like the only two white people on the bus and if he was anywhere else but here, the bus passengers would have beat the shit out of him......

ONE OF MY VERY FIRST VIDEO'S
Back when I was being abused by the folks over at Portland Transport, I made this video in my defense. Of course its tongue and cheek, just like everything else I do in life.

20+ YEAR MINI RUNNER
I relieved her once on a 71 many years ago. I was always late and she would always start yelling and lecturing me. I finally couldn't take it anymore so I would pack up all my bags and as soon as she got to the front door I would run out the back. After awhile she would try to head me off at the back door but I would escape out the front. She was never able to catch me and I know that really pissed her off! On the last day of the sign up I bought her some flowers as a gesture of my goodwill. She refused them! Looking back on the whole scene it really was pretty hilarious!
