Posted by j trainloco on Sat Jan 31 11:13:05 2015, in response to SNOW Shutdowns, posted by Broadway Lion on Sat Jan 31 10:35:54 2015. A couple of comments:General -I don't know that the city is the best one to determine when the subway shuts down, since, ya know, they don't actually have any experience with operating a railroad in winter weather. -any weather condition that resulted in the shutdown of elevated rail, or even at grade lines, would likely be far more detrimental to bus service. Specific: -how can the Culver elevated be yellow, but the rest of the Culver's IND segment is orange? I know that the Culver viaduct is a trouble spot, but if the cover viaduct shuts down, what useful service operates on the Culver el? -why is the west end line orange? Because of 9th avenue? -following your logic, I think that the 7 should be orange, since the structure over queens boulevard is a viaduct susceptible to snow accumulation. -why does the Broadway IRT turn yellow at 157th? -MTA went through this exercise, and identified the worst locations in the actual plan V that they currently have in place. The snow throwers are staged accordingly. The fact is that an extended shutdown is probably unneeded anywhere, a temporary shutdown to allow the throwers and deicers to make a run through is probably sufficient to resume service. |
