Posted by KLCS on Tue May 23 02:28:02 2006, in response to Re: LIRR East Side Access, posted by J trainloco on Tue May 23 02:17:30 2006. First of all, I don't have employee timetables, so I don't know what the out of service deadheads are for the three RR's. These timetables have all the scheduled trains, revenue and non-revenue.Second, I said in another post that between 8 and 9 there are 4 PJ trains that are not on the CT timetable, 4 PW trains, 7 Babylon, 1 Far Rockaway, 2 Long Beach, 2 Hempstead. These trains skip Jamaica. You can do the same for 7-8 AM, just look through all the line timetables. There should be over 10. I can also take a gander that Manhattan service uses 2 tunnels. Also, this is not the NYC subway. The RR does not handle 30 tph (don't know exact number) per track. Trains travel at higher speeds, so greater stopping distance is needed. Considerations must also be considered for the interlockings, only so fast you can travel over them. You can install high speed turnouts, but it's tight down in those old tunnels. They would need structural modifications. |
