Posted by randyo on Fri Sep 25 14:20:25 2009, in response to "Take The Train To The Plane", posted by Union Turnpike on Fri Sep 25 12:31:07 2009. I wrote the first timetable for the JFK Express. The then Chief Schedule Maker came up with a set of running times and I suggested doing a physical running time check and he said it wasn't necessary. After the first timetables were printed, we discovered that a JFK had been scheduled to pass an A train on the same track at Utica Av. At that point, a special light train was assigned and I and another schedule maker along with Trainmaster Nat Ford who later became Chief Transportation Officer did a complete running time check in the rush hour and realizing that even a train bypassing stations on the same track as a train stopping at these stations needed the same running time as the train making the stops we rewrote the timetables to reflect the reality of the situation. |
