    The whole system needs to be blown up and start from scratch.

    Damn alot of these train operators out of Flatbush/Crown Heights look young as hell. Saw one earlier looked no more than 25.

    Finally that viaduct project is complete. No more trains delaying 's coming into the junction.

    Based on a vid I've seen of the run between Brooklyn Bridge and Union Square on the uptown express, I didn't spot any timers or speed limits (correct me if I'm wrong) forcing trains to slow down through out some of the curves in that area. So why do most train operators brake for the curves ? Only been on a handful of runs where they'd haul ass throughout the entire run.

    "..re-building of the station sends a powerful message that New York City cannot be stopped". does that statement really hold any weight when it took 17 years ??

    So for that one manual trip, would the signals ahead of them still be blinking ?

    When it comes to the and CBTC, how does one tell the difference between automatic and manual operation ? Under what circumstances are train operators allowed to take full control ?

    why was the "what is it like driving a subway car?" thread locked ? No rules would of been broken if train operators had responded. I didn't see anyone comment about them unlawfully operating a train unless of course the comment was deleted.. Not even my thread but I was seriously interested in hearing what train operators would've said.

    How often do t/o's get tripped by timers ?

    Seen a couple guys ride outside the back of a train last week. Since then I've been wondering, what is the protocol for when things like this are spotted by MTA workers ?
