A west Ox operator said that All the 3750's will go to West Ox. Im thinking it might be true.

Wasn't she also the 1st African American Woman, to head a MAJOR T/A? (At the time)

Wasn't she also the WMATA GM, who held the top position the longest?

VERY Well respected, with the workforce, the politicans, the public & the media.
