The AWS blocks are between the interlockings. Specifically, between 8th and 3rd Aves; 3rd and Bedford Aves; Bedford and Myrtle Aves; Myrtle Ave and Broadway Jct; Broadway Jct and Rockaway Pkwy.The operational problem is, where would a non-communicating train be removed from the CBTC track? There are two layup tracks that the TA prefers not to use for this purpose (at 8th and Myrtle Aves). They prefer to remove such trains at Broadway Jct, thereby effectively reducing the line's AWS functionality to two blocks. |
