Hi all,
I know with the LIRR's mitigation plan they announced longer trains– I assumed this meant if a train normally runs 8-10 cars, it would run with 12. However, when I was passing through Jamaica, I noticed the train markers (not sure of the correct term, but the signs that tell the Engineer where to stop for a given train length) looked new– specifically one that read "14 Units".
Would they run trains with 14 cars? Has this ever been done before?
Thanks!
