This isn't the year of my birth. Moscow subways are more a work of art then 'prolitariot transport.' NYCTA runs and runs and runs, everyday and everynight. We can pick everything apart...something I've been identified with...'intellectualisation.'I take stuff apart, look at the pieces, see what's broken or worn and figure out WHY. It's my job. Muscovites for all I care can signal the T/O with a picture of Vladimir Posner. They don't need semi-automated controls like we do...one error and 'you go East.' So my error...block signals. I cannot believe they run ten car heavies 42 tph without risk, even under the gun. The original 1904 IRT control system was a nineteenth century marvel that still functions today. In 1904, Russia lost a war with JAPON. When I was a kid, trainzz could head into anti-climbers (almost.) Two trainzz in a station with a third poking the platform. Babushkas sweep the platforms and polish the chandeliers. We have fluorescent T12 bulbs. |
