Posted by randyo on Sat May 23 23:12:14 2015, in response to Re: Scheduling Capacity, posted by Stephen Bauman on Sat May 23 21:10:50 2015. One of the problems in in creasing capacity is the change in work rules that took place around 1970. Prior to that, M/M were allowed to key by red automatic signals as they were following trains especially when entering stations. Due to a couple of rear end collisions in which the M/M failed to operate their trains with the “restricted speed and extreme caution” as required by the rules, M/M were required to contact the command center for permission to key by but along with this rule was the requirement that M/M had to wait 3 min before radioing for such permission. As a result of now having to wait for completely clear signals before following trains could close in on their leaders entering stations since the signals would usually clear before 3 min, the high frequency of service of prior years was no longer possible. |
