GC-TS Shuttle observations |

Posted by gbs on Tue Sep 10 04:31:41 2019 Construction has begun and the middle track is now permanently out of service. There are platform conductors directing riders to either track 1 or track 4 (a pain in the neck at Times Sq). Both trains have only three cars. The train I rode on track 1 consisted of (E)1921-1922-1925(W). These are former Flushing cars that are coupled, not linked, together. Both end cars have transverse cabs (which is why they're not using 1923 and 1924 as end cars). Being from Flushing, they have illuminated circles and diamonds on their side signs, and the red diamonds were lit. Why? In fact, why are these cars with the circles and diamonds used on the shuttle at all? They should all be assigned to the #6 where the circles and diamonds are meaningful and helpful. Is it because they're the only non-linked cars around, and can form three-car trains? |
