Posted by Bill from Maspeth on Fri Sep 19 20:51:49 2014, in response to Re: Rider's Wish List: (F) Brooklyn Express; Metro-North in Co-Op City; More rail service to Queens/S.I., posted by Edwards! on Fri Sep 19 16:01:36 2014. As I said in an earlier response, back in the day relays were able to be done quicker because labor was cheaper and they were able to afford a t/o on each end of a relay. You had switchmen falling all over each other because there were so many. You could also make a quick move with an R1/9 because you don't have to recharge when the train gets to the bumper block.Today it takes longer to relay. There are timers to slow you down, signals you have to key by and you have to recharge the train. Seconds become minutes. |
