Posted by Broadway Lion on Sun May 24 07:57:34 2015, in response to Re: Scheduling Capacity, posted by Stephen Bauman on Sat May 23 21:10:50 2015. Braking capacities of trains have changed. They are heavier, and what with composition brakes they do not stop as quickly. Rather than space the signals out more, they simply slowed the trains down. Actually, according to the LION \, it would have been no big problem to install emergency track brakes on the equipment to permit quicker emergency stops allowing trains to operate at higher speeds.Still, if the (R) train were to run Astoria to Fort Hamilton, all of its switches could be fleeted, and CBTC could be installed to allow saturation operation. The (Q) as we know, will run the SAS, and the (N) will go to Forest Hills via the 63rd Street Tunnel. The (R) gets all of the local tracks in Manhattan and Brooklyn to itself. Yeah I know about the yard issues, and there are many was to skin that cat so LION will not accept that as an issue. ROAR |
