Re: Change at Devon

 by runningwithscalpels ¦  Wed Mar 18, 2015 5:09 pm ¦  Forum: MTA Metro-North Railroad and CtRail Passenger Rail (SLE, Hartford, Extensions) ¦  Topic: New Haven Line Devon Transfer Station to Waterbury ¦  Replies: 35 ¦  Views: 18118

I wonder if this will encourage the state to pony up for a permanent Devon transfer further in the future considering lack of main line slots are one of the things holding Waterbury branch service at the levels they are at along with a lack of passing sidings I'm assuming this change will be for 6 m...

White River Junction has the restored Coolidge Hotel right across the street from the station. Rental cars are 2 or 3 miles away in Lebanon but the rental agency might be willing to pick you up at the station or hotel. And I haven't been to the Coolidge Hotel in probably 2 decades or more, but it w...

I second this - except of course, when the site is down ;)

Front of it is hideous in yellow, but in blue I don't think they'll look too bad.

160 and another that I was too lazy to pay attention to the number of were coupled to E401 for the sandite train in Hicksville last night around 6:15, shortly thereafter it departed east.

I still see plenty of them every Friday on my weekly 3 train slowcal trip to Fordham. And no.

What about a train coming from the other direction? Still pretty sure NOTHING expresses past Brewster in that direction, the crossing in question is literally *right* next to the platform which they would be slowing down for anyway. For Jackintosh and anyone else, this is the crossing in question a...

Hmm, considering NOTHING else has been said of this, the chances of it happening are slim to none, and slim is walking out the door.

Keep in mind that this is a devekoping story.. While I do think the woman made a fatal and huge mistake, I wouldn't start slamming her until later on when more information comes out to solidify that she is an idiot. More worried about a scratch on her Benz than getting out of the way when eyewitnes...

What will happen to the mate of the first car? Considering that it's mate is heavily damaged, I'd expect it'd be used for parts like the R143s from the L line bumper block collision (NYC Subway accident) That pair (and likely consist) will be tied up for a while with investigations. Not a bolt will...

Mactraxx, that's exactly what I first thought of when I heard about this too. I couldn't remember when that had happened though.

What about installing a device like a dragging equipment detector to shut off the third rail if it detects something like this? The power protection system relay would detect the fault (short to ground) and trip the breakers. Nothing can be done to prevent the initial flashover. Are you sure, becau...

A whole string of both. Probably 6 or so FL-9's and plenty of neutered SPV's. When passing Ikea on 95 you can see them.

My question is narrower: Will the Hartford Line always require a change at New Haven or is there some provision for "through routing" (of what, today, would be New Haven trains or their slots) that would allow a one seat ride from Hartford to, say, Stamford, or GCT? You'd probably get thr...

Let's not forget the narcissists who think the deadheading train from Stamford to Bridgeport should still pick them up, even though it was explained three different ways that it would tie up FIVE OTHER trains with 800-1000 people on board each of those trains and that the needs of the many outweigh ...
