I don't know if it is still the case, but NJT (definitely) and MNR (I think) used to have trains that could leave early. Typically they were trains like the 6:05 Wantagh which were mainly used as peak expresses to get people home from NYC and not really intended for local travel. Those trains would be marked in the schedule with a symbol saying something along the lines of "may depart up to 3 minutes early".If the LIRR had that practice, then if the 6:05 ever cleared the signal at 6:06 instead of 6:07 or 6:08 it wouldn't have to wait at the first stop (Merrick) to get back on schedule -- it could just make the remaining stops and drop everyone off "early". |
