Posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Thu Apr 27 21:11:40 2006, in response to Re: CBTC to the System, posted by Subway Camper on Thu Apr 27 21:07:56 2006. 75 MPH is "way over" 70 MPH? They can't go any faster than that (John, I know your response to this but for all intents and purposes, let's go with 75 as our maximum speed).Key point you are missing though is that PATCO, WMATA, and BART all use ATO. They are also relatively new systems. The MFL uses CBTC if I am not mistaken and the trains are controlled manually. They also don't go significantly faster than a New York City subway train's stop speed in theory. It helps when your rail line is practically straight and your trains are much light and small. The MFL meets all of this criteria, New York does not. Even with CBTC, New York's subways will not be running much faster than they do today, if at all. |
