Amtrak Posted July 9, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 9, 2009 Yesterday I was stuck on the downtown number 6 train the emergency brakes went into a halt no announcements were made we were on there for well over 20 minutes. Finally they opened one door and people were let out. I take the number 5 train to Brooklyn Bridge same darn thing happens going uptown, again no announcemnets from TA police or Transit officials :mad::mad::mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R44 5278 Posted July 9, 2009 Share #2 Posted July 9, 2009 A train with mechancial problems at 14th Street-Union Square. I assume it has to deal with the gap fillers. I thought that those gap fillers were no longer used. If not, which platform and side are they located on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordhamkid7721 Posted July 9, 2009 Share #3 Posted July 9, 2009 The gap fillers are used on the downtown local and downtown express platforms you have to hit the marker right on point in order for the gap fillers to open...or so I've heard lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayGuy Posted July 9, 2009 Share #4 Posted July 9, 2009 The gap fillers are used on the downtown local and downtown express platforms you have to hit the marker right on point in order for the gap fillers to open...or so I've heard lol IIRC there's about a foot of "leeway" to hit the mark or they won't come out.

Rutgers Tube Posted July 10, 2009 Share #5 Posted July 10, 2009 This is an excerpt from "A Day in the Life of a Train Operator," written by our very own Alex L. "14 St -- After a nice fast run from 42 St, there's one timer North of the station to slow you down, then a 20 MPH restriction entering the station. This is one of the two hardest stations to stop in - there's a leeway of about 2 feet. Miss it and the gap fillers don't come out (and you'll never hear the end of it). When it's time to go, go slow. There is a red signal that works with the gap fillers - it doesn't clear until they are fully retracted. Once it clears, wrap it up. Just don't forget about the upcoming timers from Bleeker to Canal."
