With a red flag the trains would have to stop completely. For some inane reason, the MTA decided to put GT signals N/B approaching Pacific St and S/B approaching both 36 St and 59 St on the 4 Av exp tks. I had mentioned in several posts on this topic, when the Chicago connection organized operations planning, all GT signals were to be evaluated for their necessity and those not necessary were to be removed and those remaining were to be calibrated at 3 MPH ABOVE the posted speed limit to insure that the signals would clear if the train were operated at the posted speed. I recall checking the GT signals S/B on B1 S/O Prospect Pk on the F which are posted at 30 MPH. While the train was moving at a reasonable speed to clear the signals. the train was actually going at 25 MPH 5 MPH slower than the posted speed limit and this was IND signaling which was usually more accurate than the other divisions. |
