Actually, #2 is not entirely wrong but just a bit inaccurate. The NYCTs doesn't have any artificial speed restriction on the entire system but just in certain areas where limited speed is required such as sharp curves and over switches and PATH has these also. The principal reason why NYCTA trains are usually slower than those on PATH is that there are few places on the NYCTS where trains can attain such high speeds before having to slow down for the next station stop. I don't believe that the distance across the flats enroute to the Rockaways is as long as the distance between JSQ and NWK so it would be highly unlikely that NYCTA trains would even be able to achieve their maximum speed potential there although they come close. |
