INDman Posted April 27, 2010 Share #26 Posted April 27, 2010 I thought the SRS cars used ultrasound, not x-ray? SRS has been around since 1890something, long before ultrasound was around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rr4567 Posted April 27, 2010 Share #28 Posted April 27, 2010 Sperry cars (all over the world, not just the one here) X-ray the rails to find defects inside the rail. It is a patented technology and system so only Sperry provides the service. The TGC does NOT have this capability, the TGC does check alignment, gauge, rail height, tunnel condition, and can check for hot spots that might become fires. The SRS car runs 24/7, right?

INDman Posted April 27, 2010 Share #29 Posted April 27, 2010 The SRS car runs 24/7, right? No. I think it run during the evening only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted April 27, 2010 Share #30 Posted April 27, 2010 The SRS car runs 24/7, right? Adding on to IND's statement, it also runs at night when service is obviously less frequent so as to impact service less. I saw it pass by my stop at around 6 in the morning. I think there's two on property, cars no. 402 and 403. I see #403 at CI Yard often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asidrane Posted April 30, 2010 Share #39 Posted April 30, 2010 Unless you went express on the local, you could not have done that in the last several months. Was on the F for the first time in a while this week. The rehab on the bridge is coming along nicely. Also, at Jay, the connection to Lawrence St. seems to be progressing. Seems like there are a couple new staircases that have opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To tell you the truth since I ride the every day, I think the project is a waste. Yes they resurfaced the concrete and they are laying new tracks, yes the signals will be upgraded and a new relay room has been built, but things are going too fast for the repairs that are being made to be beneficial in the long term. I have a feeling that in 10 years, more work will need to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted May 1, 2010 Share #44 Posted May 1, 2010 Now, if the MTA would only bring back the IND. express tunnel from Seventh Avenue to Church Avenue and maybe Bergen Street Lower Level...... They will have to, because in the Culver project, one of the local tracks would be knocked OOS for the time being in order for them to work on the thing. Which means a lot of backriding. Now on the Cut: That's interesting. So I assume that the route selector thing at Broadway Lafayette is going to display the in lieu of BJ or whatever they are showing now.

Rutgers Tube Posted May 2, 2010 Share #45 Posted May 2, 2010 They will have to, because in the Culver project, one of the local tracks would be knocked OOS for the time being in order for them to work on the thing. Which means a lot of backriding. Now on the Cut: That's interesting. So I assume that the route selector thing at Broadway Lafayette is going to display the in lieu of BJ or whatever they are showing now. The punchboxes on the southbound local track at Broadway-Lafayette correspond with 86-Ball, just south of the station. One of three routes can be selected, with the aspects as shown: bottom-green: Rutgers Street Tunnel ( route); bottom-yellow: 2 Avenue terminal tracks ( route), routed to either of the two stubs via 34-Ball, the next signal; three yellows: Chrystie Cut (BJ-1 track). The sign accompanying the punchbox has a warning for the Cut that "R-46 equipment does not fit there." At some point, someone with a black marker wrote in the route letter next to each signal; at least at the 10-car spot - I can't remember ever looking at the boxes further down the platform for shorter trains. I'd imagine that the will be using the punchbox at the 8-car marker because of the shorter platforms on the trackage that the (M2) currently serves.

Eric B Posted May 14, 2010 Share #47 Posted May 14, 2010 I happened to see the GO notice, and it's a chip-out, meaning they're replacing the roadbed. It's supposed to be finished 6-7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmallParkShuttle Posted May 14, 2010 Share #48 Posted May 14, 2010 I happened to see the GO notice, and it's a chip-out, meaning they're replacing the roadbed. It's supposed to be finished 6-7. If you take the or Uptown past Grand St, You can get a good look at what they're doing. It looks like the cut had the same roadbed that was installed on the 6th Av line at the north end of 57th Street (concrete roadbed with molded stands for the rails). They are replacing it with tie blocks embedded in concrete (Type IIM track, I believe?). Also, I saw Engine 58 (I believe, it's quite blue) on the work train assigned to the cut, if anyone wanted to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
