Because it was an ATS-A failure, the 7 line uses CBTC, and the systems have nothing to do with each other. The 7 line is its own little oddity - not quite A division, not quite B division. Even prior to CBTC coming online, the 7 operated more like a B-division line than an IRT line. I see. if it's ...

I'm just curious. Why was the Flushing Line unaffected by the signal system issue that suspended service on all the other IRT lines?

This is probably a very stupid question but I have almost no familiarity with LIRR operations. Why can't trains to and from Port Jefferson and Ronkonkoma be detoured via the Babylon and Central Branches? Are there just not enough spare diesel locomotives to pull this off, even after the peak travel ...

Does anyone have any idea if the Yawkey Way station is going to be renamed "Jersey" now that the street is being renamed?

Last month's issue of Trains magazine noted that as part of its final run, the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus train will be running on the New Haven-Springfield Line sometime this upcoming weekend (April 21-23). I live about ten miles from the Windsor Locks station, so I thought it wo...
