Paul P Posted November 11, 2008 Share #1 Posted November 11, 2008 I do have some questions over some times, I hear the T/O or C/R over the PA, or radio, speaking in terms that I don't understand, maybe someone can answer these: Wrap it up :confused: what does that mean? and a word that I forget, but when the c/r says over the PA when thay start a route at a terminal: we have a ... then follows the buzzer. What are yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7LineFan Posted November 11, 2008 Share #2 Posted November 11, 2008 We have a lineup? Is that what you're looking for? Means that the C/R is asking the T/O if the tracks are set correctly for them to leave the station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are yours? wrap it up means to put the controller in the fastest operating position...aka "LETS MOVE" as other mentioned having a lineup just means the switches are properly set and the signal is not at danger so the train can continue along its route.

I guess, Bedford Park Blvd on the SB acts as a terminal. That's when they say "We have a lineup" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's when they say "We have a lineup" Yes even though Bedford park isn't the last stop it is the terminal. That's where the crews change over and have there facilities.

That's where the crews change over and have there facilities. Yea, they have the tower and everything. I'm not really sure but, if they have put-ins from Concourse, don't they go straight to Bedford Park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the put ins go into service at bed. park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7LineFan Posted November 11, 2008 Share #11 Posted November 11, 2008 was wondering what those meant too, and where do u get all this 7line? On the <7>line every morning (hence my name)... every single conductor departing Main Street that I've had on my train asks it over the PA instead of the intercom... "You got the lineup partner?" "Not yet!" "You got the lineup partner?" "No, not yet!" "You got the lineup partner?" "Yeah, yeah, we got lineup!" "You got the lineup partner?" *laughing* <-- actual conversation between a C/R and a T/O, over the PA, before my train left one morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

553 Bridgeton Posted November 18, 2008 Share #14 Posted November 18, 2008 nonono, i mean how do u know what do they mean, do u ask em, or is there a MTA personnel in the fam Alot of the terms are simple to figure out if you have common sense. You might hear something like "im running lite to 125" meaning the train is not in service untill 125th Street. There are a few 5 trains that start at 125th during the pm rush.
