"The problem with the MTA is that it puts GT signals where they are not needed and fails to put proper GT signals where they are needed."Correct. Case in point: on the #7 Flushing bound train before QBP, there is a 90' curve right before the station. NO GT timer there. The nearest GT signal is about 3 carlengths into the station. To this day, T/O s can come into that curve wrapped around, @60 ft above Queens Plaza South, then slam on the brakes when they come upon the signal. I'd be on that train & many times an uneasy feeling would come over me as the train would whip into the station feeling the G forces push me against the seat or the nearest door panel if I'm standing. Point being, if any trackage in the system could use a timer & has none, there would be the case. |
