Amtrak7 Posted April 19, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 19, 2011 Does NYCS use the NATO alphabet to refer to subway lines on the radio? It seems so, given the ones I know ( Alpha, ( Bravo, Delta, Romeo, Mike, etc.) But there are some weirder ones in the alphabet that I haven't heard before on NYCT radios, but is this what's used? golf hotel zulu Quebec foxtrot sierra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INDman Posted April 20, 2011 Share #4 Posted April 20, 2011 NYCT uses it own alphabet: Apple ( Bravo Charlie Delta Echo Fox George Jay Larry Mikey or Mary Nancey Quincey Romeo Z I forget what they called the and trains when they ran, but since there not running anymore, it's not important.

mark1447 Posted April 20, 2011 Share #8 Posted April 20, 2011 I have never heard that. Norah is what the NYPD uses for "N" though. Hmm. I guess RCC would only use it for Transit Police vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bveguy Posted April 20, 2011 Share #12 Posted April 20, 2011 Yeah, it really depends on who's on the radio. Some people say November, some say Nancy, and I've heard one case where someone said Nina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamaica Express Posted April 20, 2011 Share #13 Posted April 20, 2011 So the Rail Control Center and the T/O's communicate with each other by calling the trains names??...not by their routes? Also while Im here let me ask this question, in the film Taking of Pelham 123 (new or old) is that really how RCT dispatches trains?? By what time they leave their terminal like the would be Lefferts324 if it departed Lefferts Blvd Station at 3:24?? Just Curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Curious Something like that B Division its the time it departed, what train it is, then where it left from example: 16:48 (they say nancy or november) Coney Island...translates to "the train that left Coney Island at 4:48 pm" A division, I'm not so sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be its call letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way I have heard train called has been for example. "13:32 Flat to Dyer, come in to Command Center." They also call work trains in the "A" road masters. Really weird stuff.

Eric B Posted April 22, 2011 Share #18 Posted April 22, 2011 It's like we use a modified version of the NATO letters. Not sure why they changed some of them. I've never heard "Danny", but the next alternative for D was "dog". But that was mostly from the Crew Office and people talking in general that I heard that.
