Posted by R36 #9346 on Sun Apr 6 19:28:56 2008, in response to Re: And the (7) line gets a little slower....(and louder), posted by trainsarefun on Sun Apr 6 15:08:42 2008. The reasons Main Street is not efficient are as follows:1. Stub-end tracks within the station. 2. Timers installed due to 1. 3. High volume of passengers using the station. 4. Improper behavior of some of those passengers. 5. Dispatch-related maladies. I would suggest a track layout at Javits similar to that at 33rd Street PATH station, but make the switches accommodate a higher speed. However, I recognize that such decisions may have already been made. The ultimate reason why the timers at TSQ are in place:  When a tail track is marked with a signal and a sign saying, "End of Signal Control," and another saying, "No Third Rail Power Beyond This Point," you might as well treat it as an End of Track. |
