Grand Concourse 2,690 #1 Posted September 25, 2009 Yeah, not the best, but I wasn't initially thinking about taking pics in the first place. Bleeker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadwayBuffer 39 #2 Posted September 25, 2009 Is that Flatbush Av in photo 4? What's with those walls? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mark1447 685 #3 Posted September 25, 2009 Is that Flatbush Av in photo 4? What's with those walls? yea that is Flatbush. I think its there for the bumper. Tho it would of made sense not to include the walls! Nice pics btw ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grand Concourse 2,690 #4 Posted September 25, 2009 Is that Flatbush Av in photo 4? What's with those walls? Yup. Yeah the walls are really overkill. The bumper blocks are there as well. I guess they don't want to take the chance in case a train doesn't slow down and proceeds strait into the HEET's I guess... I still say they should've just extended the tracks further down than have a 'crossway connector'. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grand Concourse 2,690 #5 Posted September 25, 2009 yea that is Flatbush. I think its there for the bumper. Tho it would of made sense not to include the walls! Nice pics btw ! Thanks! Yeah, I still feel it was overkill. The blocks should be enough. It's good enough for the GCT end of the Shuttle and the 7 at Flushing. hell the 2/5 crawls into the station, real low risk there [for the most part].

Fresh Pond 5,361 #6 Posted September 25, 2009 ...hell the 2/5 crawls into the station, real low risk there [for the most part]. The whole station has timers comming inbound so that lowers the risk even more... ...BTW lovin the pics! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grand Concourse 2,690 #9 Posted September 25, 2009 Hem, depends on how fast the train hits it. But yeah even the wall would be damaged and might topple over, which might defeat the point of the wall in the first place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
metsfan 2 #10 Posted September 25, 2009 I think the wall is there for humans sake not so much the trains. - A Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe 780 #11 Posted September 26, 2009 I think the wall is there for humans sake not so much the trains. - A Yeah, sorry to say, but if you're leaning on that railing there, minding your own business and some train comes in and fails to stop: you have a high chance of being royally screwed. Wall or no wall, you are going to have a very bad day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadwayBuffer 39 #12 Posted September 26, 2009 OK. I was wondering because they look like makeshift walls in the photo and with those signs for the tracks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grand Concourse 2,690 #15 Posted September 26, 2009 Yeah, sorry to say, but if you're leaning on that railing there, minding your own business and some train comes in and fails to stop: you have a high chance of being royally screwed. Wall or no wall, you are going to have a very bad day. Lol! Well seems like everything over at Flushing and the GCT end of the S* have been mostly incident free. *Of course there was the incident a few years or months ago where the S on ?track 3? hit the bumper.
