Posted by trainsarefun on Sun Apr 6 10:03:24 2008, in response to And the (7) line gets a little slower....(and louder), posted by G1Ravage on Sun Apr 6 04:19:36 2008. Times Square - 42 Street on the Flushing Line now has timers on both tracks. They're marked as 15 MPH, but the T/O's on the line are being warned that the timers are "SLOW", and to keep their trains under control at all times. Remember how fast trains used to enter the station? No more.I have a bad feeling that this ends the capacity of the Flushing Line to run more trains. It would probably make current trips longer as well, and provide for congestion at the Times Square terminal at well. They will, it seems, turn one of the most capable terminals in the system into something like World Trade Center or Jamaica Center. Yet another brilliant move. If this was there brilliant move, why didn't they just cheap out and buy an interlocking that could only be traversed at up to 15 mph? What is this move for, anyway, to show that the Javits Center terminal is actually superior once they've neutered Times Square? |
