Posted by MNRR PA OPERATOR on Wed May 3 21:00:13 2006, in response to Fastest Runs in the Subway, posted by Subway Camper on Sun Apr 30 01:07:10 2006. the only way to get a good stretch of speed between 59th and lexington avenue and queens plaza or queensboro plaza is to have a good consist, and a MOTORMAN, and not a TRAIN OPERATOR. if u want any good stretches in the railroad, there is Jamaica to NYpenn or NY penn to Jamaica. get a good Railfan window on a M1/M3, and ur MAS(MAXIMUM AUTHORIZED SPEED) is 80mph. on the atlantic branch, u can hit 70 under the tubes before east NY. Metro North has 60mph on track one or 2 in the park avenue tubes. track 4 and 3 have 45mph restrictions. in the bronx on the harlem and New Haven, u may hit 80 between the curve north of the melrose station until before Fordham. Also on the hudson line, after spuyten duyvil until south of tarrytown, u may do 75, except the yonkers curve reducing to 50.THIS IS WHY I AM GLAD I WORK FOR THE RAILROAD. A PLACE WHERE OPERATING BELOW TIMETABLE SPEEDS ARE DECERTIFIABLE OFFENSES. WHICH MEANS IF MAS IS 90, U BETTER BE DOIN 89-90! LOL, none of that hittin the brakin early that sometimes happens in NYCT! dont get me wrong i have had some extreme Motormen and Motorwomen on my F train commutes from the misses place on them overnight jobs in grand central! |
