NYCTA:

has some interesting stuff

apparently, we should assume all future B division car purchases will be 60 ft.

on page 27(document)/31(acrobat reader)

 

also, "Much of the IND, which is backlogged, will receive CBTC by 2029... By 2027, all revenue cars in the NYC Transit system will be CBTC-equipped, except cars serving the G, J, M, S, and Z lines."

 

LIRR:

approx 250 M-9's to be ordered (170 M-3 replacement, 84 fleet expansion for East Side Access)

 

MNRR:

looks like they will go with the remaining 38 car option in 2010-2014 cap plan

surprisingly, no mention of remaining M-3 railcars

[R44 5278 0]

I'm still puzzled as to why the J/M/Z aren't going to be CBTC equipped since they will be all NTT.

[LRG 217]

They think that even New York's sketchiest don't deserve CBTC. Sad.

[R110B 5]

there being realy dumb thats why they dont never put things on the eastern div.j,m,z

[LRG 217]

And you would think the , and would get CBTC because the lines barely interact with other lines. Notice how the only goes to South Brooklyn during rush hours.

agreed there lazy.

CBTC is going to lines which...

A. Run cars equipped for it.

B. Need the capacity improvements provided by it.

C. Need signal replacement anyway.

 

A is the only one which applies to the JMZ. Such is why they do not have CBTC.

 

The QB line and the 7 both fit requirements B and C, and both have at least some plans for A.

I just read the PDF... Looks like computers will take over most of the daily operations of the trains. Seems crazy

why rehabilitated 207 street overhaul shop , unionport yard /?

why cant Westchester yard get rehabilitated. i dont see (

Westchester yard never get rehabilited.

[2Line1291 24]

pg. 89, line 1

Rebuild Nostrand Junction and Brooklyn College/Flatbush Terminal to

eliminate a capacity choke point

OMG!!!! This is the light of day, flow of trains would be relieved and why not extended the and further down Nostrand Ave.

Probably the instability of the land further down for a subway tunnel. And an el is obviously out of the question.

But I agree rebuilding Nostrand-Flatbush station would be great. Preferrably with an island platform and with some tail tracks that is half a train length past the platform so the train doesn't have to slow to a crawl to terminate.

If Rogers Junction gets rebuilt that will be the greatest thing that will ever happen. As for the terminal at Flatbush Avenue, I really don't know how the MTA will pull that off as there is no intermediate mezzanine. The only way this could be done is to have a mezzanine under the station, just like the configuration at Bowling Green. If this is done, expect Church Avenue to be your new terminal! :eek:

That's true, Church would have to be the terminal. It would be nice if there was an underground corridor from the n/b platform to the s/b one at Flatbush. It's such a pita to have to go around from one side to the other. I would much prefer an underground corridor like at nevins and if they demolished the crossover at the end to make way for the tail tracks.

As for replacing the current entry at the end, have two HEETs installed on the s/b platform, and it might mean the s/b platform would have to be shifted north a bit.

I'm not sure if they need another exit/entrance at the end of the n/b platform since it would need stairwells to connect to the street, but it would be nice if that was built as well.

Be careful what you wish for. Look how long it took for CBTC to run on the with all of those weekends of suspended service and shuttle buses. Even after all that, the results haven't exactly been spectacular. CBTC installation on the lines would undoubtedly mean years of headaches for riders. Also on that list of lines that get CBTC, you could add that it is to help trains run closer together, which would be useful on the ,, and trains. I don't know what headways are like on the during rush hours, but i don't think they're in need of increased capacity.

 

Rebuilding Rogers Junction? I could only imagine what that would mean for the IRT in Brooklyn during the years of construction.

Yeah it would be years of headaches but at the end i'll be better service flow for the and especially the which crosses the local tracks to go to Brooklyn College or to Manhattan

 

page 89, bullet 3

Accelerate implementation of CBTC to best route trains and increase

throughput

I wonder if this means Jerome's R142 will be going on the since they're capable of CBTC.

[BroadwayBuffer 40]

That said, how much of a service disruption is acceptable by telling riders that it'll be better "in the long run". I don't know if they could continue to run trains through it during a complete rebuild. It may be like saying to shut down the entire Lexington Av Line for a few years while the tunnels are reconfigured to accommodate B Div cars. In the long run, it would be better, but too many people depend on it to close it for any period of time.

[2Line1291 24]

I seriously don't think there gonna close the whole rogers junction down; but probaly gonna be broken down into phases.

[R32 3348 11]

I highly doubt it. We're talking about implementing CBTC here after the Flushing and Queens Blvd. lines have it already. By that time it will be the R62's time to retire.

yeah, the'll probably get new stock in the R19x or the R2xx series. lol:confused:

[2Line1291 24]

Yeah, but no telling what's gonna happen though. I was thought the was gonna be half R62 and R142A but politics got it to be R142/R142A. By time the R62/R62As new tech replacement cars comes politics is probaly come play a role once again and put the new tech cars on the and put Jerome's R142s on the . If they think about doin that then they mind as well just send R142s to the now.
