RR503 Posted September 16, 2019 Share #1 Posted September 16, 2019 ...is out in presentation form. https://new.mta.info/sites/default/files/2019-09/20-24 Capital Plan Overview.pdf#page=4 The lines getting CBTC are Lex, 63, QB-West, Crosstown, Fulton, Astoria/60th St. I'm trying to find a source for start/end points right now. My thoughts are essentially that this is a massive amount of money. You obviously cannot glean all that much from a PowerPoint, but if SAS 2's new price tag of 6.9 billion is any guide, it seems the brakes on cost sorta came off here. I'm gonna wait to form opinions on the individual projects until we actually know what they are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenSin Posted September 16, 2019 Share #2 Posted September 16, 2019 With Trump’s blessings, this will go very smoothly. We’re gonna get the BEST subway! Well-done like Trump’s steaks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union Tpke Posted September 16, 2019 Share #4 Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) I was in the middle of creating the thread when you created yours. The selection of the Astoria Line is interesting, and intriguing. I really, really, really am crossing my fingers for the reconfiguration of Ditmars terminal in this plan. If you have that done, CBTC, and enough equipment, you will have a deinterlined Broadway Line with significant capacity increases. Look for increases in through Cranberry as well.

Union Tpke Posted September 23, 2019 Share #6 Posted September 23, 2019 @RR503 I hadn't realized that M-N idiotically removed electrification from Track 1 of the Hudson Line. The project cost is $11.1 million. This project will restore electrification between CP 19 and 25, and CP 26 and 33. Do you know why they are looking at completing this project now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next gen probably chargers Dual mode Locos will be primary electric in third rail territory instead of primary diesel as with the P32s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
