Great job, Hurricanes.  There were times when it was tough getting everything, with breaks in transmission & people stepping on the primary info.  Bet you didn't get all the FDNY Cars there (neither did I;  let's just say there were more than enough white hats . . . I  did hear Car 3 announcing its arrival).
 
I've ridden that train many a time. Prayers and comfort to the victims. God help the motorman. Hope he wasn't texting or talking.
 
Per last ems report. 
65 tagged patients. 4-black, 9-red, 6-yellow , 46-green
 
I know zip about railroad operations.  I was very surprised to see that the engine was at the rear of the train.  Are there controls at the front of the train?  If not, how does the engineer know what's in front of him?
 
Yes the front car has controls that the engineer operates from. I believe it's called a "cab car".
 
Heres a question or two...why not have R2 cover Manhattan? R5 already has part of Brooklyn, so temporarily they can take the rest. What happens if R2 is on a Brooklyn box and a Rescue is needed in S.I.? Does Sq1 essentially act as a Rescue or do they put R6 into service?
 
Then who covers Queens & the Bronx?  Seems to me what they did makes the most sense. Any time you have 3 Rescue companies tied up at one incident, that means the other 2 are going to be stretched pretty thin . . . and it seems to me you'd want them located where they could respond best to anywhere in the city.  As for R6 . . . where would you get the manpower (without a recall)?
