Enjineer Posted March 21, 2019 #1 Posted March 21, 2019 Enjoy this very fast ride on a from Queensboro Plaza to Flushing-Main St. We had a very good T/O, hitting 50 MPH just after 74 St, and entering Junction Blvd at just about 49(!) MPH.
junjun441 Posted March 23, 2019 #2 Posted March 23, 2019 Great video! I definitely need to ride the now that it goes this fast!
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted March 24, 2019 #3 Posted March 24, 2019 Very good T/O? I think you mean very good CBTC.

The 7 currently runs under ATP-M, which means the T/O just operates the train as governed by CBTC. Some operators will go slower than others; the one I had was consistently reaching the CBTC limits and flying into stations (some will slow down at 90 St for Junction Blvd, etc.)

A supervisor should board the cab with a riding crop and … you can imagine the rest. /s
