RokuSix Posted November 18, 2009 Share #5 Posted November 18, 2009 The Bronx's IRT signals break down quite often. They're getting old... then again, so is a good chunk of the city's infrastructure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1447 Posted November 18, 2009 Share #12 Posted November 18, 2009 No, there are alot of old IRT signals in the area of East 180th Street. I thought you were not into the IRT? Not that i care. And your are correct about that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INDman Posted November 18, 2009 Share #13 Posted November 18, 2009 I thought you were not into the IRT? Not that i care. And your are correct about that... I'm not a big IRT person, for that matter I also dislike the BMT, but it's important to know the history and to see how things used to be done. I have always been into signals and since this is the last of the original IRT signals which will soon be gone, I feel it's good stuff to know.
