IAlam Posted October 25, 2015 Share #10976 Posted October 25, 2015 Caught an R160 yesterday at Sutphin, very rare occasion for me to catch a . wait the actually exist?! I thought it was a myth Anyways Thursday I rode the first Flushing bound , on and R142A, and right before we hit Vernon Jackson Blvd, the train stopped. However when it tried to move forward the train wouldn't move then it rolled backwards for about 10ft before the operator could stop it and the force the train , which struggled, to move forward in the station. I was more surprised that the train didn't got out of service cause of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAlam Posted October 25, 2015 Share #10978 Posted October 25, 2015 Okay we stopped outside Vernon Jackson Blvd. Then when the operator tried to accelerate the train it rolled back. After rolling back about 10 ft the train stopped. The operator tried again to move the train forward. This time it was successful, but the train struggled to make it up the incline into the station. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyer 230 Posted October 25, 2015 Share #10980 Posted October 25, 2015 trains running to Jamaica 179 and half are R160. It has been going on for a few weeks but I love catching the R160 on the . It kind sucks how it uses the oldest trains on each branch it runs on while other routes use R160's excluding the . I did see two R68's on the the other day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javier Posted October 26, 2015 Share #10985 Posted October 26, 2015 Does anyone know when R188's test on Sea Beach? And where do the R188's go to go do CBTC tests? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been discussing this for weeks, CBTC is tested on the !! You already asked this questions millions of times! Pay attention and if you have any more questions, which I know you have a lot more, theres a thread for it. R188's were tested on the Sea Beach back in 2012 before they were ever on the and when they were brand new factory sets brought from the Yonkers plant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jcb Posted October 26, 2015 Share #10990 Posted October 26, 2015 If the trains in the subway were to be made driverless, would that enable the creation of longer routes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAlam Posted October 26, 2015 Share #10991 Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) first of all we need to assess driverless but you said if A route length/hours is determined by available cars, demand, and funding. Also the only routes that you can make "long" are B division rotes which would require a huge CBTC systemwide upgrade that would take years. Additionally new safety measures would need to be instated because part of a driver responsibility is to be prepared for a situation. Furthermore the MTA doesn't really care how long a route is as long as it efficient from what they have available. Easy example are the and . However something like this is impossible for the near future (the time you're living) because its not economic feasible considering new training, cars and equipment is necessary. Short answer Yes if there are demands for long routes, just not now Edited October 26, 2015 by IAlam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short answer Yes if there are demands for long routes, just not now You've got the right idea, efficiency and equipment. I'd doubt that there are many posters out here who can remember when the Dyre line used to change crews at East 180th Street heading N/B. The IND also changed crews on S/B trains at Euclid Avenue heading out to the Rockaways. In both cases the passengers remained on the train while a new crew took them on to their destination. The equipment doesn't need a lunch or bathroom break. Even if the ran totally automated subways as long as there is a human onboard who is responsible for safety some accomodation has to be made for him/her. Just my opinion. Carry on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteriousBtrain Posted November 1, 2015 Share #11000 Posted November 1, 2015 From earlier: Service Change Posted: 10/31/2015 8:11PM Due to an NYPD investigation of a customer injury at St Lawrence Av, there is no train service between Hunts Point Av and Pelham Bay Park. As an alternative for service Shuttle Bus Service is available between Hunts Point Av and Pelham Bay Park. Allow additional travel time I found out on FB that some retard desided to do suicide and got his head cut off 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
