Total closure of Montague resulted in a design flaw preventing anything prior to the R44 from using it. Had it remained partially opened, the flaw may have been discover before it was too late. |

It also doesn’t matter in New Jersey, Connecticut or Pennsylvania! Voters in those three states don’t care about the L train either! It also doesn’t matter to voters in New York who reside north of Interstate 84. |

Nor should it be. It’s those commuters’ problem for choosing to drive into Manhattan. And yes, it is a choice. Most people in the big suburban counties in Jersey do have alternatives to driving. If not by New Jersey Transit trains, then by NJT buses or private carriers (Academy, ShortLine/Coach USA, etc).Unfortunately for these same folks driving in from Jersey who may or may not think 14th Street traffic (speaking in general) is unbearable, the MTA and New York State ain’t paying for an L train extension under the Hudson River complete with a park-and-ride in Secaucus for them, so they damn well better look for another way in or speak to their own elected officials it! |

I think that the reason they weren’t kept was because they had a slightly oddball brake system which was somewhere in between the AMUE of the steels and R-9s and the SMEE and the TA didn’t want to be bothered with trying to arrange for parts for them. |

There is no reason why any stations have to be skipped. What can be done is that both tracks at Bedford can be kept open. Service between Bedford and Canarsie can be operated on a 10 min headway with alternate trains terminating on the track that is O/S in the tube and alternate trains can operate single tk through the open track. I worked single tk operations involving that tube in all my operating titles except for C/R and as a schedule manager even generated single tk supplement schedules and there were no problems. With the CBTC having replaced the old signaling, the operation should be even smoother. |

Posted by AlM on Sat Jan 5 18:33:29 2019, in response to Full Shutdown of L Train to Be Halted by Cuomo, posted by MTA T on Thu Jan 3 13:03:20 2019. Some observations from 14th street:- Bike lanes on 12th and 13th have been in for a month. They continue to provide a place for delivery trucks to park without blocking traffic. - Bus lane markings on 14th were completed about a week or two ago. - 14th street is extensively torn up from midway between First and A going eastward well east of A, and has been for several months. - The platforms at the 1 Ave station are untouched, except that plywood walls have been erected making the platforms half width for the 2 east most car lengths. Presumably stairway and elevator work is going on behind the walls. - For some reason at 5:30 today L trains were running at 4 minute intervals and weren't very full. Most people had seats in both directions. - The load of people at the station heading to and from Brooklyn was about 25 per train, and 35 to and from 8th Ave. Definitely far less than the weekday load. - While the trains were pretty empty at 4 minute headways, the same number of people at 20 minute headways wouldn't really fit. But I guess 20 minute headways will help encourage many people to take a different route, like the M. |

"Because the MTAs answer to everything is that we have to do it the same way we've always done it."I agree...with one glaring exception, they ordered 75ft R-44's The down side to that is didn't anyone realize those cars couldn't run on the BMT eastern division?

How many subways in the world run with three separate car size specs??MBTA has four. SEPTA has three. Tokyo has five (Cape Gauge, Scotch Gauge, Standard Gauge 1.5kvdc, Standard Gauge 3rd rail, and the Oedo line which is incompatible with anything else). Or to put into perspective, the number of places that the 75' cars can run on NYCT is larger than most North American subway systems, ditto the number of places they can't go. Fleet standardization has its place, but when you're *that big*, you can standardize on 3 sizes. |

It was a response to an observation that the MTA always did things the way it's always been done, as in reluctant to change. Ordering 75ft cars was not an ordinary thing to do. Rather radical by MTA mindset standards of the day. |

They had to fight LIRR management. They simply wanted to keep buying MP75's.Then LIRR rebuilt 10 double-deckers, because they did't want the entire post-war fleet scrapped or converted to diesel service either. Roan was not impressed and they lost that battle too. 620 M-1's cars were enough to scrap the MP54's, all the MP70's, and send the T72's to pushpull service. Then another 150 M-1's (by Canadian Vickers, assembled by GE in Erie) finished off the MP72's and MP75's by 1972. |

How many subways in the world run with three separate car size specs??The BMT had different car sizes, weight restrictions and third rail pickups. There were the 9 ft. wide El cars mixing with 10 ft wide subway cars. There was el third rail pickup vs. the interborough style pickup. There were weight restrictions that prevented some steel cars from operating on some elevated lines even though these el's had clearance for 10 ft. wide cars. |

"The BMT had different car sizes, weight restrictions and third rail pickups."But they could run on all/any BMT route that could accomidate 10 ft wide cars. "There were the 9 ft. wide El cars mixing with 10 ft wide subway cars." That was only IIRC on the Myrtle north of Broadway. Maybe count in the Culver Shuttle using IRT cars with gap filling skirts. "There were weight restrictions that prevented some steel cars from operating on some elevated lines even though these el's had clearance for 10 ft. wide cars" That was on the Fulton St El west of B'way Junction. But the point of my post is what runs today, not generations ago. |

Europe is similar in many places- They just split the different sizes into different networks serving the same city...London is running with at least 4, arguably 5 if you count Tramlink,(And that is just considering profile- There at least have been different length cars within those different groups) Berlin has 3, (Narrow U-Bahn, Wide U-Bahn and S-Bahn) Paris has RER and Metro, with a new wider Metro system under construction now. Even on the Metro where everything is roughly the same size, they have two drastically different types of track which aren't compatible at all. Almost all of the lines in Barcelona are the same size, but the 6 7 and 12 are different, and the 8 is yet another size and gauge! |

I doubt that there was any specific reason for not running the D types in the Eastern other than they were designed specifically as a Southern Div car with appropriate signage for Bridge and Tunnel operation. There were basically only two restrictions for BMT cars, 10 ft wide cars and 9 ft wide cars and no subway cars except for Multis on the Fulton St el. Once the outer portion of the Fulton St el was turned over to the IND, the weight restriction went away and the only restriction left was no 10 ft wide cars on Myrtle RR north of Bway. Another lesser known restriction on the BMT had to do with the BX units. Maximum traction trucks do not function well with trailers in the consist as evidenced with the poor performance of the Qs after they were sent to the 3 Av el. The rule on the BMT was only one BX unit was allowed per 6 car or longer train, no Bxs on the Manny B and no single BX units to be operated in short trains. I have heard that the Manny B ban was often ignored, but the restriction was in effect since the BMT was afraid, a train with a BX in the consist wouldn't be able to make the steep grades of the Manny B. |

Through the R42, every spec was spelled out in detail. With the R44, it was more a functional spec, and St Louis had to figure it out for themselves, which they could not.Handing a carbuilder a spec on something they have never done is risky. We see that now with Amtrak and CAF, never before being handed a FRA compliant car to construct. The cars are years overdue. They do not know how to weld. |
