You have no idea what it is like to go against the FRA, and then you wish to go on UTU union busting exercise for no gain.The same simple 9th grade Algebra that says 14 miles taking 42 minutes is 20MPH, says 22 MPH takes 38.2 minutes. So yes, that is 4 minutes time saved, not 5. You were the one that introduced 20 and 22 MPH. The 42 minutes is the current timetable. There are no more unknown variables. You simply miscalculated. There is nothing erroneous that says that 2 is half of 4 and 7 is half of 14. As usual, your thought process can progress beyond the train reaching the bumper block at St George, just as you did not car about leaving passengers 18 stories down in Macy's Bunker. They do have to eventually get out of there and go to work. Your scheme of splitting passengers onto indirect ferry connections adds to trip time. So you have no time case to be made. Only a techno-nerd like you believes in manufacturer data sheets. As you well know, all MTA operators seriously downgrade all their rolling stock in testing, both on LIRR/MN and NYCT, and they mean nothing. Gear ratios can be altered in the DESIGN process. No said to do an extensive rebuild. The R44's were built to run at 80MPH. There is no reason for new subway cars to do that. Weight alone does not determine acceleration rate. There are gear ratios and there is horsepower and there is supply amperage. |
