Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Sun Apr 15 21:38:55 2012, in response to Re: Rush hour J to 9 Av, posted by VictorM on Sun Apr 15 21:28:43 2012. LOL. Yes, they were "magically" converted from 75 foot car trains to 60 foot trains. For every 75 foot V train of R46 trains (the equivalent of 10 car trains of 60 footers), it was transferred an 8 car trainset of 60 foot R160's (8 car trains of 60 footers). That left 2 extra 60 foot cars for EVERY Trainset of 75 foot cars from the v left over.Second, the Essex St to Forest Hills portion of the line remains COMPLETELY unchanged in terms of headways, yet for EVERY one of those Orange M trains that runs there, it has two cars left over from every V that ran there. That leaves surplus. Third, EVERY train that once handled the Brown M between Essex St and Bay Parkway is SURPLUS. Fourth, the only spot where headways have changed is between Essex St and Metropolitan. How many trainsets run between Essex St and Metropolitan Ave? That's the ONLY spot where headways have slightly decreased. The net change as a result of the M/V combo is SURPLUS, you completely ignored the surplus equipment between Essex and Bay Parkway of the old Brown M, as well as the surplus equivalent equipment left over from converting the longer 75 foot trains to 60 foot, shorter overall trains on the former V portion, and where no change in headways have taken place. |
