Posted by Stephen Bauman on Sun Sep 24 19:34:56 2006, in response to Re: R-160 Update, posted by stephenk on Sun Sep 24 16:18:37 2006. I think 40tph would be pushing it!The IRT reported the following headways in 1914: 2nd Ave El - 2 min; 3rd Ave El - 45 seconds (exp & local); 6th Ave El - 1 min 12 sec; 9th Ave El - 1 min 30 sec; Lenox Ave Branch - 1 min 30 sec; Broadway Branch - 2 min 15 sec. The BOT reported that reverse flow on the 3rd Ave El was 42 tph in 1949. The BRT operated 66 tph on the Brooklyn Bridge when it was the only rail transit between Brooklyn and Manhattan. Its predecessor operated 90 tph peak and averaged 40 tph over 24 hours in the cable car days. The highest tph that have been scheduled for Times Sq on the 7, is 36tph I agree that operating at 90% of nominal capacity is more impressive than today's 60%. |
