Re: IND 145th Street lower level

Posted by New Flyer #857 on Mon Jan 20 11:48:09 2020, in response to IND 145th Street lower level, posted by ro_jo on Mon Jan 20 11:42:39 2020.

On LIRR, it is known to happen that a train sitting in Jamaica with both doors open gets used to expedite passenger movement from one platform to another, for instance when a connection needs to occur between a train on track 3 and a train on track 1. The train on track 2 becomes a "bridge." And at least once I've heard the overhead announcement "Walk through the train on track 2" or words to that effect.

I'm supposing such a configuration is beneficial when a Brooklyn-bound train arrives into track 3, and there are two Penn Station trains in the station, maybe one a direct express that might be preferable to the closer train. But I don't observe trains at Jamaica often enough to know the system for certain.
