Posted by randyo on Thu Aug 9 16:07:39 2012, in response to Re: NYC Subway Division, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Thu Aug 9 14:15:49 2012. I don't what has happened as far as RCC supervision of the Flushing Line since the creation of the new RCC, but when I was in the old command center, the Flushing line operated on the B Division radio frequency and trouble calls were handled by the BMT desk trainmaster (now superintendent). The zone trainmaster that handled the Flushing Line also handled the Astoria Line and part of the BMT Bway Subway and was a BMT trainmaster. For a brief period, Flushing Line supervision was considered and picked as part of the B division with the exception of the Corona yardmaster. For even a shorter period, the Corona yardmaster was B Division until at one point the yardmaster figuring he was in a "BMT" yard allowed a BMT sized flatcar to be transferred to Corona Yd instead of having it stopped at Qnsbro Plaza. The flat was able to be sent back to the BMT very carefully via the lcl track causing little of any damage to the platform edge, but after that the Corona yardmaster jobs were placed back under the IRT Division in order to eliminate the confusion. What gets even more confusing in that area is that the Qnsbro Plz Master Tower while on basically IRT property does not control any IRT switches other than possibly the diamond Xover N/O QBPl but controls only the BMT Astoria Line and the Qns Blvd IND. The tower, however can see a large portion of the Flushing Line and is responsible for making connections between IRT and BMT trains at QBPl. |
