Long Island Rail Road conductor Michael Lescak had come to expect a raucous crowd on the 3:22 Saturday morning train from Penn Station to Port Washington.
"It is pretty well-known to have a lot of drunks and rowdy people on it," said the Bohemia resident, 25, who has been working as a conductor for three years.
This conductor was doing a job that he would not have to do if the LIRR knowing that certain trains attract a particularly rowdy crowd would have police officers ride those trains. The story is from Newsday and can be found here there is also a poll attached to the article
