There are a few places on the system where keying by even when it was allowed in most places was not. One that you cite in particular is lvg 7 Av/53 St N/B. There was a sign adjacent to the signal which read "If this signal is red, STOP. Call 59 St tower." there was a phone by that signal connected directly to 59 St tower and M/M would have to call to ascertain if there might be a train just beyond the curve out of the M/M's vision. Another is the leaving signal at the N/E of Ft Hamilton Pky on the West End line which doesn't have the IJ in the proper location to permit a key by. The latter was due to a collision between an M train which due to track work had to relay at 62 St instead of using the 9 Av middle and at the time a B train which had stopped just outside the M/M's range of vision. |
