The material that I've seen on the web is circa the 1990's. At that time the answer to your question would be none of the above. They used a signal system that appeared to be identical to that installed by Comrade N. S. Khrushchev in the 1930's. It was also very similar to NYCT's wayside system. The train supervision system was not copied from NYCT. I do not know when it originated. However, there is no secret about it; it's in plain sight. There's a resettable seconds timer display at each station. It gets reset every time a train leaves the station. All the operating crew has to remember is what its headway is supposed to be and to match each station departure to the their scheduled headway and the timer display. |
