Union Tpke Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share #101 Posted July 28, 2019 @RR503 Do you know what's up with this? New York City Transit Project: T7080329 Description: Upgrade 25 Hz AC Main Cable and De-Ion Switches - Design Only Category: Signals & Communications Element: Signal Modernization xxxxxxxxxx ... This project will fund design activities for a future project to upgrade alternating current (AC) main cables and de-ion switches on the Lexington Avenue Line between Wall Street Station and 96 Street Station in the borough of Manhattan to provide continue reliable operation of the automatic signals that are not modernized on the Lexington Avenue Line until the implementation of Communications Based Train Control (CBTC). Schedule dates are not available, due to project being under development. http://web.mta.info/capitaldashboard/allframenew_head.html?PROJNUM=t7080329&PLTYPE=5&DISPLAYALL=Y 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The signals there variously date from the 1930s-1960s (if you look closely, there are a bunch of automatics that still have the IRT ‘middle red’ aspects) and it seems they’ve decided that whatever cabling and circuit breakers exist today have reached the end of their useful life (unsurprising). I’m interested by the “that are not modernized” qualification in the description paragraph, I will say. That suggests that there will be automatics that are modernized (ie AWS) maybe?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Clear Posted September 16, 2019 Share #103 Posted September 16, 2019 The lack of activity on this thread is reflection on the TA's effort to modernize the system. CBTC will be irrelevant by the time testing would begin on the Lexington Corridor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGA Link N Train Posted December 8, 2019 Share #123 Posted December 8, 2019 1 hour ago, subwayfan1998 said: You said it will be activated on December 23rd 1 hour ago, subwayfan1998 said: I Thought CBTC on QBL will completed by Fall of 2021. It seems like you’re not paying attention. What @RTOMan is trying to explain is that in order for QBL CBTC to debut in 2021 without any issues or failures, they have to test the signal system first. The test will begin on December 23rd 2019, and will take place between Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue and Forest Hills-71st Avenue. If successful, then they’ll likely test CBTC in other locations along QBL. Keep in mind this is just Speculation, anything can change at any moment. Last, but not least. I think that @Maxwell179 meant that your action of repeating the statements in your posts and your actions of spamming are stupid. There is no direct indication that he called you stupid whatsoever. @Maxwell179 correct me if I’m wrong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are asking for a source from a well trusted member of the forums who works in Transit and who does not have to share this information with us? Have some respect, please. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
