Re: Canarsie Tunnel Single Track Operation

I'm simply using the square footage you cited to demonstrate that a sanity check actually reveals a substantial capacity value for the R143/160 that is above the 145 number you cited, which is a design number from Kawasaki. While the capacity of the Standards may be a bit overstated since the obtrusive seating design denies a substantial amount to standees, and part of the figure is derived from a personal standing space that is less than that of a mosh pit.

As for the proven capacity, for the R143 is 191, The actual loading guidelines state 145 as the maximum capacity for a 60ft B division car, and the L train oninternal observations is noted as 135% of the maximum guideline.
