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.


Last time I was on a train and it happened, it was a northbound A train headed to 34th St on the express track; we had ok speed, and aside from the initial jolt and bad feeling at the squeal of air, I've had far worse station stops than that, and I was standing up this particular time.

The time before that that it happened, we were going quite slow, but accelerating out of a station - maybe it was Hunterspoint Av - I forget - but the jerk rate - change in acceleration - must have been great so that one packed a bigger wallop.

Both times, I assume it wasn't anything serious. We were under way in under 3-5 minutes.
