Posted by randyo on Fri May 19 13:39:09 2017, in response to Re: The Crisis at Penn Station, posted by Stephen Bauman on Thu May 18 21:27:05 2017. More trains were operated on all the heavy lines of the NYCTS back when M/M were allowed to key by red automatic signals to close in on a train ahead. With M/M now being required to either wait for the signals to clear or request permission by radio from the RCC (which would be impractical considering to number of trains that would be clogging the air waves) capacity had been severely diminished. As far as West Side locals, back when the headway S/O 137 St was 2 min on the #1, trains were only 8 cars. with 10 car trains being operated, fewer trains can be operated while still maintaining loading guidelines. |
