Who to contact in Johnson Avenue Yard?

• A. Jamaica Station Manager
• B. Receiving Yard Supervisor
• C. Jamaica Yardmaster (Yard 1) or JCC - Channel 1
• D. Train Dispatcher - Channel 3

Answer: (C)

The key idea here is who has the authority to manage and coordinate yard movements and switching at Johnson Avenue Yard. The Jamaica Yardmaster (Yard 1) or the JCC on Channel 1 is the correct contact because the yardmaster is the person responsible for all yard operations—controlling switch work, track occupancy, and coordinating movements within the yard. Reaching them ensures you’re speaking to the authorized individual who can authorize or direct yard activity and communicate directly about yard status via the designated channel.

Jamaica Station Manager handles broader station operations rather than the day-to-day yard movements. The Receiving Yard Supervisor would be specific to a particular receiving yard, not Johnson Avenue Yard. The Train Dispatcher oversees train movements over the network and uses dispatch channels, but for local yard coordination the direct line of contact is the yardmaster through Channel 1. This channeling keeps yard operations smooth and prevents miscommunications during switching and yard entry/exit.
