Succinctly told oral histories read as if you’re actually hearing Joe Caracciolo hilariously recount his exploits playing midwife on the C train, or Thomas Granger describe the barriers African Americans faced as they climbed the job ladder. The collection conveys a sense of the people, history, skills, language, dangers, and rewards that comprise the world of transit workers.
