Posted by Handbrake on Sun Aug 28 08:32:59 2016, in response to Transmogrifornication of N's and Q's at Ditmars Blvd Terminal, posted by heypaul on Sun Aug 28 08:02:34 2016. Re-flagging a train in revenue service at a terminal, such as Astoria Ditmars Blvd, is routine at that terminal with digital route destination display equipment. Happens all the time at Ditmars. Something that could not be done as easily with legacy cars equipped with manual roll signs (I have once observed R44/46 equipment as originally delivered, could remotely change roll sign designations).The term "fumigation" to clear out a train of customers at a terminal or other point is not a term used by RTO as many on this forum are led to believe. Because one transit employee may have been overhead to use the term "fumigation", does not make it a universal system wide term. |
