Posted by Broadway Lion on Mon May 22 23:41:57 2006, in response to Re: LIRR East Side Access, posted by Broadway Lion on Mon May 22 23:24:54 2006.  So your BROADWAY LION has put on his mane thinking cap, and come up with a plan to run LIRR DM locomotives from the cab car without a second engine. The problem is that the back engine gaps out, and the engineer in the cab car up front cannot know where these gaps are. SO TELL HIM! It is SO SIMPLE, it *would* take a LION to figure it out. Install a "FAKE RAIL" that show him where the gaps are, so that he can avoid them. This consists of green and amber lamps placed directly in the road bed. As long as he can see green lamps, his locomotive will be on the third rail. If he sees amber lamps, he knows that he must be able to coast along until he is on the green lamps again. His C3 cars are all 85 feet long, so the lights can be placed for a consist of six cars or whatever it is they are using. Heck the *are* lamps, they can change the aspect of the display to the length of the train that he is running. Now he has the same advantage of an AMTK driver or an old Jackshaft driver. LIONS ARE SMART. I Keep telling you this, but nobody is listening. ROAR
