The new signal system also makes for a slower ride. One infuriating aspect of Myrtle happens when a J/Z express arrives and meets an M local. The M usually gets priority. Sometimes, a J or Z running to Manhattan prevents the M from leaving immediatley because it blocks the northbound track. What does Myrtle do? Hold the M, wait for the Manhattan bound train to leave, THEN close down and move out the M, then the J/Z. In the time it takes for the Manhattan-bound J to clear the interlocking, the Jamaica-bound train could close down and pull out. But no, the M's gotta leave first, so all must be delayed! |
