Hmm, i am interested.Though i noticed some T/Os treat S signals differently, but could never find what exactly was the reason. Most T/Os wait for it to go green though. I know some you seem to be able to pass as yellow and S, and the red ahead will clear to green soon enough. Others you have to slow down to a crawl until the red clears, if you accidentally pass that particular Yellow and S. You know what i am talking about? PATH has the same system, but it utilizes Yellow over Bottom Yellow to indicate it is automatic, or timed. no "S". Oh, and CHOW happens next. But will it CHOW if you put it in full service and pop the controller? I have never been on a NYC subway train that went BIE from a high speed, but it must be VIOLENT. correct me if i am wrong. I was on a PATH that went BIE in the river tubes, and it was VIOLENT. The train ROARED, and groweled to a stop, and shook back and forth while stopping. It stopped rather quickly however, not at all dramaticized like in the movies with the screeching, and slow deceleration. It was like plowing through dick cheney's highly constipated ass. I am not sure if the wheels slipped, or the brake pads just pounded onto the wheels hard enough to cause a roar. Maybe the dynamics kicked in, which you rarely hear, but sometimes can hear on the PATH. That is at least how i remembered it. kind of like in french connection. |
