Re: Village Voice Article Explains: The Trains Are Slower Because They Slowed the Trains Down

Posted by Broadway Lion on Tue Mar 13 11:21:54 2018, in response to Re: Village Voice Article Explains: The Trains Are Slower Because They Slowed the Trains Down, posted by italianstallion on Tue Mar 13 10:46:38 2018.

But the LION holds the solution, just what they will not listen to their LION.

1) Trains USED to be able to stop in the blocks provided.
2) Trains used to have iron brake shoes.
3) Today they have composite shoes.
4) Today the trains are heavier.
5) The trains cannot stop as quickly.

ERGO:
A) The problem is NOT in the signals. They worked before, they still work now.
B) The problem is in the brakes : As efficient they are not.

SOLUTION:
ADD TRACK BRAKES TO THE CARS.
STOP them real fast they will, but not so fast as to throw everybody to the floor, only just as fast as the trains used to stop before things became today.

Yes Track Brakes wear rails faster, BUT NOT IF they are only used BIE (and for parking).

Instead of working on every structure, in every tunnel, simply add these while trains are in the yard. Whole fleet can be fixed in one year without any track being taken out of service.

Then we can put the Rabbid back in Rapid Transit.
