Posted by Stephen Bauman on Sat Jan 19 23:02:03 2019, in response to Re: Canarsie Tunnel Single Track Operation, posted by ClearAspect on Sat Jan 19 22:37:29 2019. My mistake. I meant R143's. The R142 has a capacity of 110 passengers per car with 34 seated. The 75 footers come in at 175 passengers per car.The capacity you are reading is the equivalent weight capacity for the motors @ 150 lb/passenger. Do a sanity check. The interior R143 size is a nominal 60x9 or 540 sq ft. 1 foot is taken by the wall thickness. That comes to 2.25 sq ft/pass or 1.5 ft on a side. You won't fit any nominal 150 lb. human in that space. The 145 load level capacity figure comes to 3.72 sq ft or 1.9 ft on a side. That's still too tight for reliable operation. |
