Ever notice that there haven't been any large-scale crashes or accidents since the Union Sqaure thing or Williamsburg Crash?There's certainly no timer that would prevent a sleepy J motorman from derailing at Alabama Avenue. I could think of many others. And in turn, I can think of many that serve no purpose whatsoever, such as northbound leaving Jay St. These timers aren't uneccesary, they're obvioulsy there for something. Fallacious logic. Just because something was done doesn't mean it was the right thing to do. You want the timers gone just so it could be the great express run that it was before? It would be nice if the people in the five boroughs could get to Manhattan faster than the people in the far reaches of Suffolk County. Or would you rather have a resonably slower ride to avoid fast-paced accidents because the train was doing 45-55 mph down the track? Neither train was moving that fast in the Williamsburg Bridge wreck, and most accidents are not high-speed ones (switch run-throughs and low-speed collisions are more likely). |
