Posted by Fisk Ave Jim on Tue Mar 12 19:10:28 2019, in response to Re: MTA removes or increases more speed limits, posted by Allan on Tue Mar 12 12:41:00 2019. But they sometimes do. On the #7 Manhattan bound local, I was on a train (R33-36s) that overshot 33d Rawson by one complete door set (appx 1/3d carlength on wet rail). The T/O was lucky enough to have an off duty employee riding in the first car. The doors were opened after the conductor was given the OK over the PA from the T/O with the off duty employee protecting the open doors that opened into thin air appx 30 feet over Queens Blvd. If the T/O got away with that, score one for the working class.Back then, locals used to fly downhill into 33d Rawson & slam on the brakes & either stopped too short or just made the 11 mark. Haven't been there in awhile. I wonder if timers were ever installed on that stretch? |
