The Newark Subway is a mostly-grade-separated private right of way. Before being extended onto the former Erie Orange Branch (dumb idea IMHO), the sole grade crossing was at Orange Street Station. NJT's "upgrade" included removing flag stops, which makes no sense whatsoever. They also cut the number of trips in half. Signaling foibles are what slows the system down even more. Nothing particularly unique between Denver and Newark light rail systems; gotta watch out for those signal systems causing penalty brake applications. The HBLR also does 55 mph between stations between Liberty State Park and Bayonne; doesn't stop it from crawling north of there. |
