Ale188 Posted February 19 Share #7303 Posted February 19 This happened the day before or the day of when I went to NYC, but 2 teens were surfing on an 211T. Not very uncommon to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode northbound from Chambers St. to 168 and southbound 168 to Hoyt Schermerhorn. It ran nice, except for the hard stops made at the overwhelming majority of stations! I can live with all the new "bells and whistles". But from the perspective of operation, I have big issues. I am going by the rules of NYCT. I don't want to hear about Toronto or systems in Europe that have similar open gangways, because I don't know their rules for train operation, nor do I know if they have automatic tripping devices which would activate due to an obstruction on the roadbed not seen by the train operator till it's too late. All I know are the rules for operation at NYCT as per the procedures described below . In the case of a BIE, he is required to fully inspect the train from the roadbed if it re-charges. Debris or a body, they would have struck the automatic tripping device or a stop arm coming up underneath the train before it cleared, or maybe even if no cause is found (this would mean a problem with the train which the t/o would not be able to diagnose). In case of no clearance areas, the t/o must check in between the cars. There-in is the problem as his only entrance to the roadbed with the R211T is out the front (or rear 600' away) door. So instead, he has to go into the car body (while getting peppered with harassing and cussing passengers and he has no time to explain the process) and open a side door to climb down. But suppose there are bench walls in the way on both sides (or some other obstruction) as in an under river tube? Now he can't check underneath the car/from between cars. Multiply that by several other cars. Now he moves the train and it goes BIE again because he couldn't carefully check under the whole train. This is what we're up against as the T/O, Control Center and right up the line as we get into the decision makers. Also, looking in between the cars from inside a station, you can't get down in between cars because there are no steps, plus there is some piece of hardware protruding preventing one from even reaching the roadbed from the platform. Of course, the same is true if the train goes BIE in between stations and the t/o is walking the bench wall, he still can't get down in between cars from that way either. Just wait for the first 12-9 they have with these cars and the body is somewhere under the train and they can't find the body because it's SOMEWHERE! Police and Fire Department will call NYCT on the carpet about these cars. Enjoy them while you can, because sometime in 2024 they will be permanently relegated to the Rockaway Shuttle. Put that into your vaping pipes and smoke it! The MTA needs to install platform barriers (not like the ones on 191st, which is pure garbage) to prevent people and trash from getting on the tracks. This would allow open gangway trains to operate safely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foggymetro28 Posted February 19 Share #7309 Posted February 19 All we need now is for the R211S test train to enter service. I mean, it already has flags and whatnot, and production sets have been spotted? Any info on how much longer till service starts? Also, is it doing a 30 day test? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be on the platform (train striking someone while the train was either entering or leaving the station, Could be the person under the train too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
