You didn't directly answer my question, though I think you implied that RF CBTC is suitable only for single routes with no merges. Please tell me if that was not your intention.If it is,I would say it is nonsense on its face, though I acknoweledge that installing and testingCBTC on a system like NYC's will be challenging, certainly more so than any other system in the world. So good places to start are the L and 7; the G portion (minus Queens Blvd and its merger with the F, the former of which applies on weekends only anyway) the Franklin Shuttle (is there more than one consist actually working the Shuttle?)... There are portions of the system which are one level up from single route track. The J/M/Z service from Manhattan to Queens (leave aside the Montague tunnel bound side for a moment, please) can be evaluated for CBTC. There is one main service from Jamaica Center's lower-level to Broad street, Manhattan. Then there is a diverging service, the M, headed to Metropolitan Av. Also, howabout the A line's Rockaway branch... |
