Posted by randyo on Fri Nov 15 18:24:39 2019, in response to Re: NY: Higher subway speeds worry NYC train Motormen -- and new report explains why, posted by ChicagoMotorman on Fri Nov 15 13:40:37 2019. Not as fast as you in Chicago. The GT signals are often severely undertimed. I once clocked a S/B F between PPK and Ft Hamilton Pky that was clearing the timers quite well and not unduly slow. The actual problem was that the timers were posted at 35 MPH yet the train was going at 29 MPH. NYCT trains on most line present the appearance of going a lot faster especially in the subway due to the passing support columns giving an illusion of speed. From what I have seen in Chicago, the tubular construction of both the State and Dearborn subways except in the downtown station areas doesn’t seem to present that situation. |
