Posted by Stephen Bauman on Thu Jul 30 12:50:13 2026, in response to Re: MTA Bottleneck Report, posted by Lou from Brooklyn on Thu Jul 30 10:29:58 2026. how about just not having to stop at a homeball and wait for the Tower Operator to look at a camera image of the rollsign?Tower operations should have been automated 50 years ago. London implemented it in the 1950's using a variation of a Jacquard loom and updated them with PDP-8's in the 1960's. The Flushing Line automated Queens bound switching in the 1950's with Identra. The MTA has scheduled merging conflicts at Gold. Southbound the travel time between Canal and Gold and Grand and Gold should be the approximately the same. The schedule for 7/29/2026 calls for B leaving Grand at 17:58:30 and a Q leaving Canal at 17:58:30. This is a standard merge, with both trains scheduled to arrive at the interlocking at the same time. CBTC will not resolve built in merging conflicts. |
