NewFlyer 230 Posted April 17, 2015 Share #9352 Posted April 17, 2015 What the heck was all that CenSin wrote last page? Anyways is there any future plans for the to get a possible train lengthening? I was thinking maybe a 60 ft train with a 3 car set is perfect. So if you put two of them together you can get 6 total trains since is not as crowded as the . So trains would be broken up like this A-B-A-A-B-A cars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenSin Posted April 17, 2015 Share #9353 Posted April 17, 2015 What the heck was all that CenSin wrote last page? A bit of mathematics applicable to laying rail. Apparently, the wrong way to build a real railroad or a model railroad is to connect circular arcs and straight rail without any concern for how the physics may affect the train. And at once point, railroads were actually built using those primitive methods since only slow trains ran on them and the circular arcs all had huge radii. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted April 17, 2015 Share #9354 Posted April 17, 2015 Funny thing happened to me earlier today... I was on the heading to Norwood to meet up with some friends, and I caught the Concourse express. Haven't ride that since the slants were still around on the , but that's not the point. We get in Homeball Alley and the C/R said we would be stopping at 161 because of a soccer game at Yankee Stadium. We get in the middle at 145 and she repeated it again. At this point, I'm wondering how is that gonna be possible if we're in the middle...totally forgot about the switches south of 161. We skipped 155 as normal, then switched local and stopped at 161. Skipped 167 on the local, and switched back to the express track north of 167. Never knew they did that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N6 Limited Posted April 17, 2015 Share #9357 Posted April 17, 2015 Something happened at 69th street which caused a back up on the local, then after it cleared there was residual congestion. After Roosevelt Ave we started moving along and there was a conga line of local trains at every station. So I'm thinking that they had and trains go express to Roosevelt, and they were holding up the whole line waiting for the conga line into 71st to move up to allow another / to switch to the local. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted April 17, 2015 Share #9358 Posted April 17, 2015 How long are the EL's that are in our system suppose to last? I know the MTA got around to renovating every station at least once since the 80's. Wouldn't they have to rebuild the structures eventually because they are exposed to the environment and plus you have tons weight moving along these elevated lines. I remember when the Jamaica Line before the line was fixed up and repainted. As a young kid back in like 2005 I always thought the thing was going to collapse on day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q113 LTD Posted April 18, 2015 Share #9364 Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) I was thinking, when the brought the LIRR Rockaway Line, would it be a waste of time and money if they torn down the existing LIRR trestle along the peninsula towards Mott av and rebuild it as 3 tracks? Would that make any different? Edited April 18, 2015 by Q113 LTD 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
