Posted by JournalSquare-K-Car on Mon Mar 3 22:04:07 2008, in response to Re: TA is obsessed with CBTC, and ''New'' tech for no reason., posted by RonInBayside on Sat Mar 1 18:16:03 2008. About Washington metro: The stations are spaced FURTHER apart, and the trains are ALWAYS faster. NYC trains tend to top out at 25-35 miles on the average run. Have you ever seen one of those washington trains accelerate? it must be going 45 mph + as it leaves the station. The same with moscow metro, though it still uses DC propulsion.:) PATCO, and Market Frankford EL also have FAST stock. Ride them before you say the NYC subway is topped out.NYC balancing speed IS 45 miles. 55 on new trains. 65 or so on old trains before neutering.Question: why order 55 mile an hour cars when you cut the old cars from 65 miles down to 45 miles for "safety"? a contradiction in operation here? Cellphone use has become annoying bull. People ought to get a break from their bull smalltalk and texting for a while. It is healthy separation. Read the paper, take in the underground sights, or enjoy the ride. THINK. WONDER. PLAN. |
