Fallen EEM Had A Musical Side

Igor Titlyanov, an Electronic Equipment Maintainer with eight years on the job, passed away on May 7, leaving his wife, three adult children, and four grandsons. We profiled Brother Titlyanov in the current issue of the Transport Workers Bulletin. Among his accomplishments (he was a Soviet rocket engineer and computer programmer before joining New York City Transit), Titlyanov joined the TWU Local 100 strike lines in December 2005 – just a few months after he started employment, risking his job to support the union. He worked maintaining the police radio communications system and security videos. He also found time after work to be a musician. As a gesture of respect, we are putting up some clips of his music on our site for your enjoyment. That's him on the piano.
