An Inside Look At Subway Signals

- While the MTA says on-time performance is the best it has been in four years, often when trains are delayed, signal problems are to blame. So how is the MTA working to speed up service? CBSN New York's Marcia Kramer reports.
im not sure how come this video was recommended.theres not even a subway where i live lol.
it still looks very neat though!
It came up for me as I ride Subways but in Chicago and not New York lol
@@PRHILL9696 I rode both the CTA and the NYCTA. So I like to keep current on what both are doing even though I now live in southern Arizona-Lol.
@@chicago-l9125 Very cool
Keep up the great work MTA.
Can y’all fix the A train
Big facts.
How bout the , man slow sometimes
Deadass
@@mashedtomato2079 The 7 Express speed had rised. It does obviously run slow between Queensboro plaza and 33 Street station
@@nyctransitrailfan usually from Woodside to queensboro it's slow, from Woodside to junction it's a rocket
0:05 now that's what I like to hear
Linda the great adamson 2009 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Same here
SPEED is equal to: Subway Performance Evaluation Education Development. Say whaa!
At least it's not Procurement Operations Oversight Policy . . . .
Say shut the fuck uppppppp!
MTA SUBWAY's will do there best to make their signals are OK without causing any delays in most MTA stations in New York.
The cost for this upgrade is a lot so it takes time
Can we get an Express 1 train (there is an unused center express between 242-Dykman and 145-96)
Yessssss🤦🏽♀️
That’s where the 9 train used to run
Lorenzo D i know
railfanner and lazarbeam fan they could bring back the 9 but I don’t think enough people in Harlem would ride it the 1
Doesn’t even get that packed as it is
Lorenzo D actually yes it does.
Increase the timers on the IRT 6 line!
He went BIE that r160 has a download unit inside aka a black box aka a snitch box
And why was the woman walking down the rails in a dark tunnel with no where to escape should a train come by? And that deadly third rail?
The trains and tunnels are not designed to go any faster then they are now .
It's a recipe for disaster from a rear end crash or derailment from tracks that are heavily worn
Hi the trainneed speed its up
I like MTA
Why not make the number 0 a local and express line?
They cant
15 miles per hour? I know some people could run faster than that!
Get rid of the antiquated block signal system and do what Japan does with their bullet trains (Automatic Train Control).
They have to replace the entire 100+ year old signaling system that is fixed block signal only, for over 1,370km of track, that is in operation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. You can't just do that overnight and that will cost several hundred Billion dollars, which when the politicians argue over spending a million dollars on something important, makes it very difficult to make happen. The conservatives generally hate all mass transportation travel and refuse to spend any money on it. The liberals aren't good at budgets and don't tend to build solid coalitions, so they don't get much accomplished. The MTA inherited a system that was in serious disrepair after decades of neglect by the original private companies that built it before they went bankrupt and then the local city government was broke for most of the 20th century and was barely able to do basic maintenance, let alone major systems improvements. So yes, they would love to have a modern signal system, but it's not going to happen over night. It took them nearly 20 years to get it installed on the most simple 8% of the system.
@@joshkarpoff3341 One could always have a dream...
It's on the 7 line already
Automatic train control exist already in the L and 7 lines. This will be an upgrade to all lines in the future
im pretty sure a bullet train is different than a subway system
Fix the so called 5 express train along the Eastern Parkway Line between Franklin Ave and Atlantic. How many times have people reached the same time either at Atlantic Ave or Franklin with taking the local 2/3 train? Makes no dam sense. Also get rid of that bottle neck at President St 2 train riders
Raoul Simon deadasss same on lex ave the damn 6 beats the 4/5 trains every single day
It's probably caused by train traffic, not faulty signals. When ridership is high, you need lots of trains. A high number of trains means that they'll get caught up behind each other at switch points like Franklin Ave, where there are 3 different directions the trains can go and the lines cross over each other so only one or two can proceed while the others have to wait behind them.
Raoul Simon Two solutions for this problem exist:
1.) Rebuild the interlocking to have flying junctions
2.) Add new switches along the Eastern Pkwy and New Lots Line. Ideally, it would be easier to install new switches on the elevated structure between the middle pocket track and both of the local tracks. With this, and a new Utica Avenue Subway, we can implement these changes:
(2) to Flatbush Avenue
(3) along Utica Avenue
(4) (5) to New Lots Avenue
*A. not "An"...
How do you figure? 🙄
fix the j and z train bro
Just remove the Z bro
@@morganlimes just remove the J bro
@@morganlimes Lmaoooo deadass
YT Young Yadiel A good idea is to build new connections between the Broadway Line and the Fulton Street, then from the Fulton Street Line to the Jamaica Line. From there, the R would run to Euclid Avenue and the W would take over the J route to Jamaica Center. The R and W would also run on a rerouted Astoria Line and the N moves to the Second Avenue Subway. To replace R service on Queens Blvd, a K train route would operate via Queens Blvd Local and 8th Avenue Local, moving the M to 63rd Street and allowing the C to go express and swap with the D north of 59th Street.
Sarah Murray yo i see you in every comment like “ oMg dEaDaSs “ stfu damn.
