Posted by randyo on Mon May 21 15:48:10 2018, in response to Re: Tower closing at stations, posted by Lou from Brooklyn on Mon May 21 08:19:54 2018. Since K/Hwy tower was mentioned, does anyone know the history of the interlocking machine in the tower? While the present machine is a typical IND style steel cabinet GRS Model 5 with the standard IND style model board, I’m pretty sure that the original BMT machine was an older wooden cabinet GRS Model 2 with the standard BMT style printed model board. Now it would seem to me that if a completely new machine were to be installed, it would have been an NX machine since the Ditmas Av interlocking is (or was) controlled by an NX machine located in the old Church Ave tower and the earlier towers at Euclid and 179 St were also NX. My question therefore is why was an out of date machine installed at a time when more state of the art equipment was available? |
