Under what circumstances are train operators allowed to take full control ? -CBTC is always active...unless you know, the line goes to shit lol -With the R143s, you can tell when its being operated automatically compared to normal operator controlled. In automatic, you can feel the braking being applied in pulses. Right before they come to a complete stop, the cars jerk a little bit before fully stopping. -All operators have to do one of their daily trips manually. Doesn't matter which one, it just has to be one trip. -During wet weather (rain, snow, etc), you'll have the train operators take over. Trains start sliding everywhere, and may slide past the station...had it happen to me once lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelix500 Posted March 25, 2016 Share #12060 Posted March 25, 2016 Had an awesome Train Operator this afternoon at 4PM who just blew through 59th Street-125th Street.

Q113 LTD Posted March 25, 2016 Share #12064 Posted March 25, 2016 I notice that the interior LED on the R142/A are base on the color of the line. You know on the train, the interior LED route is red and on the train, the interior LED route is green. How come the R143, R188 & R160 don't have that? Let me guess, is it because of color issue? Current Why can it be like this: Ex: (2)GRAND CENTRAL ( E ) JAMAICA-VAN WYCK ( 4 ) GRAND CENTRAL ( F ) PARSONS BLVD ( 5 ) CROWN HEIGHTS-UTICA ( 7 ) NEXT STOP IS ( 6 ) THIS IS ( J ) CHAMBERS ST ( 7 ) QUEENSBORO PLAZA ( Q ) BRIGHTON BEACH ( E ) 50 ST ( M ) 23 ST 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted March 25, 2016 Share #12068 Posted March 25, 2016 So for that one manual trip, would the signals ahead of them still be blinking ? Yes they would. CBTC will still be active and will slow the train itself if its not clear ahead According to the MTA Service Advisory press release, their certainly likely to re-open Monday, which has been LONG overdue. A 5 month job ended up turning into 11 months lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N6 Limited Posted March 26, 2016 Share #12069 Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) They've updated announcements on some of the R160s. Van Wyck Blvd is now Briarwood. As heard on the F train today: "This is, Briarwood, Transfer is available to the Q44 Select Bus Service" Edited March 26, 2016 by N6 Limited 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNewYorkElevated Posted March 26, 2016 Share #12075 Posted March 26, 2016 If R32s are banned from the Manhattan Bridge, what's the difference with them running on the Williamsburg bridge? It doesn't happen to involve lines that run via the Montague tubes or be rerouted to those tunnels in the event of an incident. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
