Posted by Joe V on Sat Aug 29 12:55:08 2015, in response to Re: SI Railway - no new cars till 2020 - NY1 video, posted by TUNNELRAT on Sat Aug 29 11:38:42 2015. From what I read, it was 83MPH, with several trucks cut out to simulate a passenger load, and the engineer/motorman/whatever claimed he was still accelerating when he had to slow down for Jamaica. So it was accelerating all the way from Harold to Kew Gardens.Back to WillD's proposal, using HIS numbers, - 4 minutes time saved from Tottenville. - 2 minute time saved from Oakwood Hts (around the mid point) - Half the people take the direct train - ferry connection - Half the people take the indirect train - ferry connection, and he claims he would run those trains 8 minutes apart. On average, - typically time saved on the train is 2 minutes. - typical connection dwell time at St George increased by 4 minutes - half would be the same, half would be 8 minutes. NET travel time for the average passenger from an SIR station to South Ferry terminal increases 2 minutes by averaging 2 minutes time saved on the train and 4 minutes more time spent at St George. So, no capital planning tool would recommend LRV conversion of SIR. |
