NYtransit Posted May 9, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 9, 2011 I recently noticed theres new "wire holders" along the elevated line on the line. Why would they add these? is it for the new CBTC signals? They also added new timers between 40th street and 33rd street so instead from going at 40-45MPH (forget which one it was) it went down to 35 MPH. Hers is a pic of the "wire holders" i was talking about it. Sorry for quality camera phone quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queens Surface Posted May 9, 2011 Share #2 Posted May 9, 2011 The wire holders on the EL is because they are painting the EL... I guess it's for even more safety for the painters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTimer Posted May 9, 2011 Share #3 Posted May 9, 2011 CBTC does not have "signals" in the way we normally think about NYCT conventional fixed lit signals with aspects. What you see on the is just modified, but in fact, they are unnecessary but are only there in case CBTC goes down and they need to operate with the traditional signal block system.
