It would still likely be quite expensive to retrofit any kind of CBTC equipment onto a SMEE. (That is why the R62/As and R68/As will not get the technology installed.) Only small sections of the system are currently using CBTC and the rollout of new sections is going very slow. (I would love it if the MTA could get their act together and speed up the roll out.) Also, the CBTC equipped sections all receive a new backup fixed block system that is currently used for work trains, and will likely be used for museum trains in the future.

Work from home and fear of crime/homelessness.

Did WFH put a permanent dent in ridership?

Do other systems not have problems with money?

Speaking of Patco and signals, why did the never install ATC / cab signals on the subway unlike the rapid transit lines run by the CTA, MBTA, SEPTA, and others?

Ah yes, The train, home of the dirty cars whose brakes scream like a banshee.

I have heard that this is a Major reason why their transit projects are so expensive.

The R44 B cars have couplers?

I am pretty sure this is nicknamed the "Thales toilet".

So we will get to see a R62 coupled to a R62A occasionally on the ?

Another system (outside the country) used to have a "rain mode" on all their trains that improved performance in rain but slightly reduced acceleration and brake rates. The mode would also occasionally disable dynamic brakes.

Obviously the R179, this is the discussion thread for it after all.

If you could pick anybody to run the city and or state, who would you choose?

If that would stop happening, then half of theses delays would never occur.

The map link is private.

I wonder if they will actually try to keep the stations clean after doing this?

link?

Should railfans even be able to work for the TA? Banning them from working there would weed out many non-serious job candidates.

Guaranteed that operators will get fired based on footage from cab cameras.

That's one thing I will like get a chance to experience one day.

How many layers of paint do these things have at this point?

WF of ML?

With the MTA always running out of it, I propose they let railfans volunteer to do light tasks for them. (Some railfans would love to)
