While many have written about the New York City subway system, a century of published books? says little about the subway as a workplace. Older books describe railroad lines and equipment ?and new?er ones transit unions and building projects. None of this subway literature, however, portrays the motormen operating the trains and the porters cleaning over 400 stations. Railroaded describes these jobs, which ?the author, Fred Naiden, an award-winning Harvard-trained historian, held in the ?1980s before beginning a successful second career in academia. ?His academic training enabled him to make comparisons between transit work today and in the past, beginning with horsecars and elevated trains. This is the story of ?N?aiden's ?t?enure as NYCTA employee #4046.
