Posted by randyo on Tue Aug 30 15:20:28 2016, in response to Re: Why no (D) jobs out of 205 St?, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Tue Aug 30 06:36:56 2016. When I was a M/M and when I first became a T/D there were some D crews that reported at 205 St and went through to BBC (back when the D was the Brighton Line). Crews that reported at CCYd and put in their own trains also went through. For many years, there was no delay written into the D timetables but with most of the equipment becoming SMEE requiring a BIE when changing crews, a 2 min hold at B/Pk was written into all D intervals. There was a brief time in the 1980s, when the D work programs were written so that in the AM rush, crews changed northbound at B/Pk so that there would be no S/B delays changing crews, but it was short lived. There were other incidents of crews changing at other than terminals. The #5 Dyre crews changed at E 180 St, N/B in the AM rush and S/B in the PM rush so that passengers would not have delays in the peak direction of traffic. Far Rock A Line crews also changed at Euclid in a similar pattern and those crew changes lasted until proper crew facilities were constructed at Dyre and Far Rock respectively. In the case of Far Rock, the reason for the crew change was not so much due to lack of crew facilities as it was the lack of supervision at Far Rock. At some point, the NYCTA decided to put a full time supervisor at Far Rock allowing crews to report there. |
