Those timers in the Steinway tunnel make for what is probably the most uncomfortable ride in the system. It takes a certain amount of skill, expierience & familiarity of the equiptment and territory to provide a smooth ride up & down those steep hills.Ive been on rides between Vernon Jackson & Grand Central where an expierienced T/O would know how to work the timers & give a smoothe ride v/s a rookee extra list T/O that would wrap it around, fly thru the yellow ball & slam for the waiting red, bring his train almost to a dead stop & just miss getting tripped. Almost as comfortable as riding in those New Look GM busses in the early 60's with those IRT style longitudinal seats. No T/O consistancy over there on the #7 IMO of course |
