LIRR gaps still a wide problem

track 4

 

I forgot to quote Pablo in the original post.

OHHHHHH. Yeah, you're right. Thats the track I had in mind.

 

Ya, surprisingly at a station NWK Penn, its not a good thing to have that gap. And its down the entire platform too, sadly. But its not so much of a very wide gap. But when an Amtrak train shows up on that track, ppl better be very careful because getting onto the AmFleets is quite a step.

Speaking of gaps, East Tremont Avenue and 174 Street on the (2) and (5) lines both have some wide gaps, but I haven't heard of any problems of people falling into them. Also the last door of a Manhattan bound (2) and (5) train at Simpson Street has a wide gap too.

 

In addition, there is a spot at Newark Penn with a wide gap.

 

174th on the (2)(5) has a wide gap because of the curve of the station. I'm not so sure about Tremont - it's been a while since I've used that station.

 

Simpson has a curve on the end, so yes, if you get in the last car, there's a bit of a gap. Still, it's not a big one.
