He shared advice to anyone hoping to do the same:

"Every day in the city is an adventure," he said. "I've been blessed. It's been a great ride, it was great coming up, just every step of the way. Anybody in the MTA has the potential to move from the bottom to the top, it's just dedication and hard work."

Terracciano's daughter is also a train buff.

He calls her the future of the MTA.
