I was on the train once a few years ago coming from Aldershot and the CSA announced every stop in a different voice. My favorite was the robot voice. Man, that was a fun ride.
I think I had Burley the other night on the 5:20. I get on at Exhibition and when we stopped before union, he came on the PA and said he needed 100 volunteers to push us in as the train was out of gas. Then, at Oshawa, he played a rooster crowing before the usual announcements. I like a man with a sense of humour.

What happened to Tom, the CSA on the 7:53 Oshawa train???? His voice used to crack and he spoke all slow and enunciated every word. Did he retire?
ReplyDeleteI saw him as I got on at the Ex. A very Handsome tall black man with a great hair do.
