Mom of MTA worker killed in subway car fire ‘mad’ that conductors have no extinguishers

The torching death of a woman sleeping on a Brooklyn train has stirred up painful memories for a still- grieving mother — and left her outraged that the MTA hasn’t learned its lesson.

When news of the shocking subway killing reached her in Arizona, Vicki Goble, 73, immediately thought about her son, Garrett Goble , who died in 2020 when someone started a fire on a No. 2 train he was operating.

“For me, there were shades of remembering my son and what he went through working for the MTA,” Goble told The Post Friday. “I just can’t imagine there were people on the train that just watched this guy do this, and did nothing to try to stop him.”
