When they were on the E and F back in the day they were fast because they were new. By the time you rode them on the N the field shunting was removed in reaction to the Willy B wreck which made their top speed slower. NYCT's philosophy seems to be if they go slower, less wear and tear. They point to other systems to get ideas. But they do this to the point to whatever suits them. Anybody here who has never made the trek to Philadelphia is missing a real treat. You get fast accelleration and good top speed on both the Market-Frankford and Broad St. lines. They put us to shame. And this dirty old man thinks the automated female announcer on the Broad St. line is one hot babe! Love to see what she looks like! |
