realizm Posted April 24, 2014 Share #6426 Posted April 24, 2014 I personally love when the runs express on the west end...Fast trip to Manhattan. Yup and its so fun being on the West End grabbing the photos of them! So I'm going to do it when they have the GO. lastweekd via West End GO was cancelled as per a T/O I talked with for some unknown reason. I think the work at 59th Street was completed ahead of time buy tack divison but thats a guess. Plus its around my way anyway so thats another reason, easy to get to the west End, I can practically walk there to New Uterect from my apartment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realizm Posted April 25, 2014 Share #6432 Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) I wished I can ride an R46 but its very very very very unlikey it could happen. It could happen if in the case of last minute on the fly reassignments or GOs in the future that forces the superintendants @ Jamaica Yard to temporarily make a reassignment on some of the R46's assigned to Jamaica. One factor to think about: QBL CBTC, which starts later this year according to current contracts on the CCC dashboard. That could change things a bit. So in 2015 even though by then the will resume its normal route through the Montague St tubes at all times except late nights, (which may prompt the reassignment of R46's to the line) that cannot be ruled out. I would keep my eyes peeled next year for unusual happenings. Nah, an R32 would be nice.... As for R32's on the ? it would be cool, but in terms of operations calling for an occasional 10 car R32 set on the , very unlikely. Especially when the R179's are scheduled to begin testing with its first test train to be delivered in December, this year. More of the R32's may be assigned to work service while the rest end up scrapped when in service testing of the R179's begin in late 2015 from the initial test train to be delivered in a matter of months at this point.

XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted April 25, 2014 Share #6433 Posted April 25, 2014 Ok guys, if you don't mind, can someone post one of their greatest photos of the nyc subway. Something with an NTT, and a great background, the train must be the main part of the photo that draws the eye quickly. Something that shows all details of the train, but not necessarily the whole train. It's for a final project, I will redraw the whole photo. Thanks in advance. You can post the photo here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YankeesPwnMets Posted April 27, 2014 Share #6437 Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) I came back from China a week ago, and in the airport I heard something quite interesting. The lady who does the "Ladies and gentleman, there is a Manhattan bound express train one station away" was also doing the announcements at Shanghai Pudong International airport! I was pretty amazed to hear her voice halfway around the world While I was waiting for my flight, Dragon Air 805 (which I flew to Hong Kong and then transferred to Cathay 846 to JFK), an announcement came over the PA: "Ladies and gentleman, your attention please. Dragon Air flight 805 to Hong Kong International airport is now boarding at Gate 61." I thought that I was in the subway after hearing the announcement but I realized it was the same lady who did the NYC Subway announcements Edited April 27, 2014 by YankeesPwnMets 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's the repetitiveness combined with the verbose nature of the announcements. @YankeesPwnMets: That's not really all that surprising, given that she's done various recordings for several different transit systems and airports around the world.

pjbr40 Posted April 27, 2014 Share #6442 Posted April 27, 2014 pardon me on my dumbness just a question about the gap filler. I know when the train is departing the train pushes the gap away.

SevenEleven Posted April 27, 2014 Share #6443 Posted April 27, 2014 pardon me on my dumbness just a question about the gap filler. I know when the train is departing the train pushes the gap away. I want to know how and who put the gap filler in place before the door open? The train doesn't push the gap fillers away. There are sensors at the end of the platform that detects when the train is pulling out and retracts the gap fillers. I can't if it's the same process that gets them deployed.

XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted April 27, 2014 Share #6444 Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Almost revived the thread till I saw it was 2010.. I know the IRT are the number trains, but what's the difference between IND and BMT? I noticed at Coney Island terminal it says BMT trains, but I thought that stood for Brooklyn Manhattan trains. What lines are the BMT and what lines are the IND? Edited April 27, 2014 by XcelsiorBoii4888 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted April 27, 2014 Share #6445 Posted April 27, 2014 Almost revived the thread till I saw it was 2010.. I know the IRT are the number trains, but what's the difference between IND and BMT? I noticed at Coney Island terminal it says BMT trains, but I thought that stood for Brooklyn Manhattan trains. What lines are the BMT and what lines are the IND? BMT (Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit): (Franklin Avenue Shuttle) IND (Independant): (Far Rockaway Line) Because, they're given on their former operators trunk line (the 6 Avenue Line was IND, so all trains normally designed for that were IND) In this day and time, it really doesn't have any meaning besides being a benchmark. Everything is seperated into A, B, and C division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted April 28, 2014 Share #6446 Posted April 28, 2014 Thanks. I saw in the thread how the IRT was built with a lot of turns and curves, possibly had to maneuver around pipelines etc. That's my favorite part of the subway, having trains moving fast around those curves is amazing, which is why I love riding the from Crown Heights to Borough Hall and Brooklyn Bridge to 125st. Now I don't like curves that require 25mph or below speed, but those smooth curves that you can fly right through with the little squeaking, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
