Northbound A Train Was Travelling on Southbound Tracks--- There Was No Fog on the Tracks, posted by randyo on Mon Aug 25 00:59:45 2014. As usual, the entire story sounds wrong and probably is. First of all, you cannot cross a train from A3 (south) to A4 (north) at Canal St. The train would have gone into 5 track at Chambers St and the operator would have changed ends. The switch at the north end of the track should have been thrown before the leaving home signal was cleared. That used to be controlled by a manned tower at Canal St. I don't know where its controlled from or if the T/O punches (pushes a button) to get the line-up. Obviously the train operator did not know the area or she would have realized that she was leaving A5 on the southbound track against traffic. At the very least, she should have realized it when she entered Canal St. on the southbound track she just left on. Of course the home signal at the south end of Canal St. should have stopped her so there is more to the story but I will make a few calls today. |
