Posted by Handbrake on Tue Feb 21 15:48:08 2017, in response to Re: 8 cars and the C, posted by randyo on Mon Feb 20 16:13:13 2017. The first iteration mega radio-net of the BMT/IND was resolved into todays configuration some time in the mid to late 70's when the B1/B2 channel configuration was implemented.The problem of a mega radio network persists in above ground areas. Train crews traveling over the Manhattan & Williamsburg Bridges hear a combination of Southern BMT, Eastern BMT, and IRT Flushing line B2 radio traffic as they glide over the east river. Operationally the old Eastern BMT division should have its own radio frequency pair (B3 Channel) to operate on, since no BMT radio channel changes, as of now, would be required except at Essex Street where a BMT/IND change over is performed today. With NYPD move to UHF, the TA owned VHF frequencies of the former Transit PD become an attractive alternative to a third radio system for RTO. |
