This is exactly what happened. There is no reason ANYONE should be entering on the tracks. They have staff for that and they will legit stop the trains from running if they need to. This girl was stupid and died for a phone

And if y'all work on the trains then conductors speaking to fellow employees out the window is not at all an uncommon thing.  They just needed someone to pin this on and because he just so happened to be doing this at  the time this bitch jumped on the tracks for a phone, he's the scapegoat. I guarantee u that this man could've been doing everything by the book and nothing would've been different.

They probably sense a lawsuit on the way.

If I were the family of that girl I'd be thinking well there's a chance he could have halted the train, but we'll never know if he could have because his eyes weren't on what was in front of him. He was too busy being a drive-by socialite.

Yeah she made a dumb move but she didn't deserve to die.

I don't think he's getting that job back.

It takes a train 1 or 2 miles to stop I doubt he would've been able to stop in time

I honestly see why he was fired.

It's outrageous to think he was laughing at killing the girl, but I'm pretty sure that the most basic responsibility of his job is to stay alert.

He was yelling out the window, giving peace signs to his homies, waving at his fans as the train struck and killed the girl.

It's not his fault that she decided to go on the tracks, but I'm sure in reviewing that tape they decided that his behavior couldn't be excused. There's just no way what I saw could be seen as professional or by-the-book.

If I were on a train I'd want to know that the conductor had his eyes on the tracks in front of him at all times.

n

tracks take turns so you don't know that he was able to see/avoid hitting her

Tommy Soto is a whole mess. dssddsds

And if the train was pulling into the station to stop, the speed would have been slowed down as it enters the stop.

Why was he not paying attention as he entered a space where riders would be present?

I was assuming he was midway through a trip or something, not approaching a damn station. I def see why he was fired now.

That's not saying he would have been able to stop it, but his eyes should have been on the damn station, not his homies.
What are you talking about? He was already slowing down to enter the stop area. He was going the speed and doing what he was supposed to do. The CTA doesn't stop the 1st car at the beginning of the railing platform and depending on the platform he may had some distance

Why would she run towards it

With trains its not like.a vehicle

Ppul get fired whenever there is a fatality they are involved in its almost standard

We dont need a recap of their thoughts, dummy. They fire people all the time and that's what union reps are for and why people end up getting their jobs back  :kii:

They fire my co-workers and they be RIGHT back kiing LOL

:plzstop:
RIGHT! Like legit all the time :dead:
They wanna make him the scapegoat but this won't do.  Lemme tell u with CERTAINTY, this train wasn't stopping before it was supposed to.  If the conductor would've tried to force a stop then he would've been jeopardizing everyone else on the train and alot more lawsuits would've been coming from that way.  As I said, i work closely with the company and there is no protocol for stopping for people who are illegally on the right  of way when it's  that close in proximity

Not even if he wanted to. People jump in front of trains all the time tho tbh
That's probably there was more annoyance on his face rather than remorse when he saw what had happened. It's low-key more of an inconvenience than anything  :dead:

In any case, he's fired. The decision's been made and I think it was the right one.

No sense in debating this for hours. The decision was more than reasonable given the footage I just saw, and I doubt he'll be getting his job back.

Sucky situation for all involved but I hope he finds another job.

Just an FYI and fact check:

This actually happened back in June, and the conductor was just fired last week.
Seems like they may have placed him on suspension as they investigated a bit, which isn't uncommon.

....And then made their decision. Judging by this statement they made, it doesn't look like he'll be asked to come back.

Quote"The employee's behavior is unacceptable and in violation of CTA's policy and procedures," CTA spokesman Brian Steele said. The employee was fired last week for "failure to devote attention to duty and ensuring safe train operations," Steele said.

"We take instances like this very seriously ..." said Steele. "The actions depicted in this video do not reflect the overwhelming majority of the men and women who operate CTA trains."

Tommy Soto is a whole mess. dssddsds

And if the train was pulling into the station to stop, the speed would have been slowed down as it enters the stop.

Why was he not paying attention as he entered a space where riders would be present?

I was assuming he was midway through a trip or something, not approaching a damn station. I def see why he was fired now.

That's not saying he would have been able to stop it, but his eyes should have been on the damn station, not his homies.
