The Man Is Gone, but His Voice Will Keep Riding the Rails
Briefly

"Van Ritshie had one of those voices that you know in New York. His voice, friendly but authoritative, has been played on Metro-North and Long Island Rail Road trains since the mid-1990s."
"He recorded dozens of station names, putting a little extra oomph into some, as if there were an exclamation point after Southeast or Bayside..."
"Always a reminder, delivered as if he knew you had heard it a hundred times: As you leave the train, please watch the gap between the train and the platform."
