Some Fed $$$ for flood mitigation work at Pelham... https://new.mta.info/press-release/mta-awarded-federal-grant-protect-nyc-transit-westchester-train-yard-flooding

After ATS-A was introduced, do A Div. trains still need to punch in at specific locations?

Sad but true...

This article should be a good start: https://erausa.org/pdf/bulletin/2000s/2006/2006-03-bulletin.pdf

Interesting compendium of NYC subway maps, from the UK: https://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/projects/metromap/papers/NYC-subway-map-catalog.pdf

Thank you sir!

How is CBTC taught to train operators? Is it done during the induction process for all new T/Os? Do they have CBTC info in the induction manual or is it covered by separate manual(s)? Thanks!

Beautiful job!!!

Posted online by Fordham Unversity is Brian Cudahy's excellent book How We Got to Coney Island (a must read for any BRT/BMT fan): https://research.library.fordham.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1001&context=nysh

The Big Red Book provides guidance for bus operators in London; here are links to several editions: https://www.transportforall.org.uk/files/bigredbook2014.pdf https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/400019/response/975791/attach/3/Big Red Book v4.pdf?cookie_passthrough=1 https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/33803/response/86272/attach/3/BRB Final version.pdf?cookie_passthrough=1 https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/142169/response/348364/attach/3/Big Red Book 2012.pdf?cookie_passthrough=1

If anyone has an operators manual or participant's guide for an R143, R160 or R179 please email me (sandero2039@gmail.com); original hard copy, legible photocopy or a scanned e-copy would be perfect. Thanks!

While not specifically devoted to NYCT, this website has some very interesting info about all types of railway signalling subjects: http://position-light.blogspot.com/2020/

That R142A manual must be an interesting read. Anyone have an idea where I could get a similar manual for an R143 and an R160?
