Who said anything about vandalism????? I was just saying given the RR's poor track record on how it maintains its equipment it would be no surprise to me if most of the cameras were defective in one way or another after one year lol. Nobody needs to vandalize anything, all they need to do is leave t...

The javits center just hosted NY comic con, I don't think events get any bigger than that. Were the streets completely impassible? No

Even a busted clock is right twice a day. My point is along with some factual information a lot of what you read here is garbage passed along by fools. Don't believe everything you read, I'll believe it when i see it. My issue isn't with what you are saying will happen, I know the RR will use every ...

Seems there has never been technology introduced that has not, eventually been used to aid the discipline of wayward employees. ADL is a voice that said cell phone GPS would never be used to prove employees AWOL. Or that MTA EasyPass camera records would never convict a coach cleaner or trainman wh...

The camera installation is delayed a bit, of course, but it's no secret that the in-car cameras will be used for monitoring crew attendance and fare collection. In fact, their arrival has resulted in the Railroad's postponing plans for "finger-print" time clocks for trainmen. The thinking...

There never were any plans for finger print time clocks for trainmen.

Pinelawn station will be permanently closed when the double track project is completed. With two tracks there is no room for a platform with the road so close to the right of way.

The visibility of those signals is a 1000 times better than the old low homes they replaced. If your going west and coming into track one or zero track you see the color light signal right away as soon as you come around the platform curve and from far away. The low homes used to just blend into the...

Conductors take the same color test as engineers

I would go to where there are color signals on the LIRR and see how well you can tell what is red green or yellow. If there is any doubt at all to you what color is what on the signal you shouldn't be an engineer. If you can tell what each color is plain as daylight I don't see the problem.

LIRR: Findings indicate stop signal violated in crash

At this crossing the train is supposed to come to a complete stop before the crossing in order to activate the crossing protection, the train then waits for the gates to activate. After the gates are down the train can proceed. It's not the same type of crossing as in the LIRR zone C territory. This...

Lamens terms: If the train originates during off-peak hours, all your connections are off-peak. If it originates during peak hours, all your connections are peak, it has been simplified with all connections of (X) amount of trains as one. Not exactly, a train leaving penn station after 4pm is a pea...

But if a train that would normally be peak has an off peak connection both trains are off peak.
For example the 4:00 pm to Huntington and the 4:03 pm train to Babylon are both off peak since they connect with an off peak train from Brooklyn.

"Equipment problems" can refer to more than just a mechanical problem with the train. The "equipment" could be a late crew member arrival that delays the train, obviously they won't announce that on the PA.
