Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Sun Mar 9 12:41:24 2008, in response to Re: Re-Open LIRR 'White Pot Junction, posted by Kew Gardens Teleport on Sat Mar 8 19:46:56 2008. 65MPH? HA! /Krapabble The close stations in the Rockaways will keep the LIRR trains' speed down. NYCT trains can hit 50 MPH on the flats, a 65 MPH LIRR train will save what, 2 minutes? The junction at White pot will keep speed down there, and little room to run flat out can be had before trains hit the Woodside station and Harold Interlocking. The Far Rockaway line is a slow PITA. It crawls into Valley Stream, Jamaica, and thru Dunton or Jay. It only reaches good speeds underneath Atlantic Ave (for FBA trains only). |
