Posted by Wayne-MrSlantR40 on Wed Aug 29 18:16:24 2012, in response to Re: Van Wyck Boulevard (Re: The IND To Jamaica - 75 Years Ago (4/24/1937)), posted by 5119 on Wed Aug 29 17:54:19 2012. The curve entering Van Wyck Boulevard was protected by a timer back in those days - the one between Van Wyck and Sutphin was not. A similar situation exists on city-bound "A" trains on the express tracks between Van Siclen and Liberty Avenues - no timer on that curve, so you can do 40 MPH if you think you can get away with it. Back in the good old days, "F" expresses routinely did 40 and some motorpeople did more than that - i.e. that R-10 and another train of R-6 and R-7 cars (S motor=1233) as well. That is a relatively broad curve and once the train unwinds from it, it is often hauling ass.wayne |
