    Y’all need to calm down with the “slow statements”. First of all you are only looking at 2 out of 23 Lines in the system. (J/Z). Other Trains run way quicker. For example 6 Trains can go from Hunts Point Avenue to 3rd Avenue in about 5-6 Minutes making local stops. NYC has such a big subway system it’s hard to maintain, and you need to realize that the J/Z line have some old architecture and old trains, (R32 and R42) (Don’t Count: R143, R160, R179)

  • @HughCorbyCruick
    @HughCorbyCruick 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The reason this train line seems so slow is that there are really a lot of stops along it that are close to each other. Some are only eight blocks apart, so the train can’t really speed up before it has to slow down. Brooklyn part is especially brutal.

    Why are theese trains so slow? Looks like 30 miles an hour max to me

    • @FanRailer
      @FanRailer  8 ปีที่แล้ว +42

      max between local stops is about 30. train hits 50 on the express run before the timer. they used to run faster before the 90s but a series of speed related accidents resulted in the deactivating of field shunting on the DC traction motors and installation of timers that slowed the system down substantially.

      The train, out of habit, wants to stop. The driver has to coax and, occasionally bully the train through without stopping.

      "But... is station... is stop! I confused!"

Fun also seeing the R32 trains on the center track. Thanks for a fine ride, and for the informative answers to questions below. Just subscribed - look forward to seeing more! BTW - the diesel powered train at the Alabama Ave station - was that a subway work train or is it on a parallel railroad to the Subway?

    @gerardmoran9560 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Someone who knows the logic of the speed restriction on skip stop please explain! Why must the train slow as it approaches the end of the platform of the skipped stop? Safety doesn't seem an answer, is the person at the approach end of the platform less valuable than the person at the departure end? If you're going to skip a stop then go through it at track speed. Amtrak and the LIRR do it.

    • @FanRailer
      @FanRailer  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      One purpose is to maintain spacing between the skipping train and the train directly ahead. Remember that in a rapid transit setting, stops are MUCH closer together, meaning any irregularity in service will cause trains to bunch up and mess up the schedule.

    • @gerardmoran9560
      @gerardmoran9560 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@FanRailer Thanks Fan Railer. I understand the need to maintain train spacing but it would seem more energy efficient to maintain a steady speed (slower than than track speed) than needless braking and the subsequent acceleration but I am out of my area here. The MTA pulls off a miracle every day but they are slow to change. Perhaps they could benefit from outsiders who have a good knowledge but aren't stuck in the age old paradigm. Too bad they don't have a working group of people like you and other users to weigh in. Cheers
