Very interesting.You want to know why the TA is spending money on the CBTC system, ask the Federal Government. They told the TA awhile ago that they will not pay money toes upgrading the older Signal system any more, because it's out of date. That would explain why PATH is supposed to upgrade to CBTC too; we'll see how they implement it. we have to wait until the last 80 cars before CBTC will come in on them. I don't know why that should be, though. Couldn't they have held more of the older cars in service before the newest cars came in CBTC-ready? This it were CBTC save time by alwing you to do this and still keep the trains at a safe distence between of about 50-75ft. If you try to move any closer the CBTC will stop the train on it's own and I don't meen by dumping the brakes but just by putting the brakes on. Interesting - a penalty brake application. |
