Posted by G1Ravage on Sun Apr 6 04:19:36 2008 Times Square - 42 Street on the Flushing Line now has timers on both tracks. They're marked as 15 MPH, but the T/O's on the line are being warned that the timers are "SLOW", and to keep their trains under control at all times. Remember how fast trains used to enter the station? No more.Also in (7) line news, there was a Daily News article, which wasn't posted here, which says that Lou Brusati of (7) line managerial fame is having external speakers installed on the R-62A fleet, as well a new style of "goose-neck" microphone installed in the cabs, so conductors can make announcements while their heads are out the window. Or at least, that's what the newspapers think. What the higher ups apparently don't realize is that external speakers, open windows, and loud microphones don't mix. Ask any conductor who works on the (3) line, where the R-62s have always had external speakers. Here's the article: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/2008/04/04/2008-04-04_hear_hear_subway_cars_get_external_louds.html |
