From what I remember you create Work zone a work using tags. You would just define that area using a SIL4 device wayside. I have some documents and information if you like we used a lot of it for the 1st round of the genus challenge. I'll be happy to share. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union Tpke Posted January 24, 2018 Share #17604 Posted January 24, 2018 Thanks so much! That really answers it. Are there any other features of CBTC you are able to share? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIP Posted January 25, 2018 Share #17607 Posted January 25, 2018 Anyone know why car builders or MTA did without Phantograph gates on NTTs. I know the newer LIRR models have them... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why SMEE cars had/have them. Passenger safety measures. Edited January 25, 2018 by RailRunRob 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N6 Limited Posted January 26, 2018 Share #17610 Posted January 26, 2018 Why is there a conga line into 71st Ave when the is on 10 min headway and the ended early? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the itself bunched up itself due to earlier delays and at Forest Hills they switch crew, clean the train and check for sleeping passengers and that process can take five minutes to complete. Forest Hills isn’t a proper terminal so imagine how chaotic it is at for example 10pm if the was ended earlier and all trains run local towards Jamaica but the still terminates at Forest Hills. I’ve been caught up in that mess so many times and that’s a total inconvenience for everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGA Link N Train Posted January 26, 2018 Share #17614 Posted January 26, 2018 I'm gonna say right now, Forest Hills is such an inefficient terminal that they should just extend the and to Jamaica-179 Street so that the and can run a flexible express service and if people bail for the express, then ......... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosciusko Posted January 26, 2018 Share #17617 Posted January 26, 2018 Why are the doors between cars locked on the r68s and r46s only? It seems like a bit of a safety hazard to prevent people from moving between cars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OIG119 Posted January 26, 2018 Share #17618 Posted January 26, 2018 The doors are locked because if they weren't it would create a safety hazard. Other systems with 75' cars also do this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like a bit of a safety hazard to prevent people from moving between cars. When they hit a curve or switch from track to track, the jolt one may experience when crossing the cars is enough to squish the person in between or knock them off the moving train. Also, the reason is that they're longer so the ends of the cars have to swing wider when crossing a switch leading to the ends closing in together. I think I'm missing a few points still, I know the question has been answered before on these forums and someone might have a little video or a better answer. Idk. LMAO.

They're only 600' cars, so the curves result in less squishing on the inside and a smaller gap on the outside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that the MTA does a disservice to a large number of riders by making them wait 10 minutes for another train when they are sending the very train that the riders were on to Coney Island empty. Obviously, being able-bodied and being told to get more exercise by the doctor, I don’t mind running the rest of the way on foot, but that’s 10 minutes multiplied by the number of people on the platform waiting for a (Q). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIP Posted January 27, 2018 Share #17623 Posted January 27, 2018 Anyone else notice that the R42/R32 has painted roofs that are NOT consistent in color?? Why is this being done. Especially for R32’s why does it matter for their roofs to look shiny or new? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The roofs (before SMS) had a whole bunch of scrachitti on them and it looked terrible. I remember that's how the 38s went when they literary had to put tape on the roofs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what happens when the trains themselves are well over their 50s, despite being "pure" stainless steel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
