Posted by Bill from Maspeth on Tue Mar 12 21:01:35 2019, in response to Re: MTA removes or increases more speed limits, posted by Fisk Ave Jim on Tue Mar 12 19:10:28 2019. Procedures for a station over run are very different today. In fact they were different when I retired in Jan., 2014. I am sure they are at least as restrictive today as then.#1 Call Control Center to inform them of station over run. This could in itself take some time. C/R is to ascertain that T/O called it in. Then C/R to pull cord. Then section of train with all doors in station c/r can open. Section of train that has doors out (naturally the front) crew to key open one door in each car. Then the whole process gets reversed. This process will cause close to a 10 minute delay (Control is usually slow to answer radio and give you permission to start above procedure). C/R resets the cord, t/o recharges, and off they go. TSS will pick up the train enroute to ascertain "crew is fit for duty" (interview). Even a simple thing such as, for example, an M train stopping at the 10 car marker instead of the 8, the crew is to call control of the violation. If you don't call control and if a TSS or supt is riding the train it's your ass. If a customer calls it in, or a station overrun not called in, it's also your ass because they are going to believe the customer. Finally if you are operating a new tech with a black box, car equipment will be asked to check that in the yard. |
