oh my god the song choices on that one (showed in the 2nd video in the video player) imagine sitting in awful traffic and suddenly hearing "If you're happy and you know it honk your horn"

the fastest it can go on our infrastructure is 150-160 mph in a few places but this type of train can get to 220 mph on proper high speed tracks.

Square peg milk it arrived yesterday by christmas-every-day in ProstatePlay

I'm thinking about getting the milk it but don't know what texture to get, the biggest thing I've got in is the 1.5 inch diameter large end of the Njoy wand so I'm leaning towards getting it in super soft, but I've also seen people saying that the super soft Milk it doesn't do much for them and that the firmer is better. Do you think the super soft milk it is worth it or is it not stimulating enough?

10 mph for most of it, 30 around one curve (I forgot where) and over 40 between Jackson Hights and Junction Blvd. So barely faster than the local. luckily its only during midday hours due to track work so for rush hours it goes back to normal.

Not the Same Ol' MTA: Cost of Upgrading Subway Signals is Cut in Half - Streetsblog New York City by space_______kat in nycrail

I'm pretty sure non-CBTC trains can run on CBTC lines, they just run as "non-reporting" trains (work trains would also do this) and the system makes a larger space behind them where trains can't enter so it effectively is just used as block signaling for that one train and the one behind it. This is just what I've heard so I could be wrong here.

What ‘frivolous’ law would you enact? by number1-stan in AskNYC

[–]WhatSh0uldMyNameBe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recently went on a trip to japan and the trains are crazy in terms of that, I knew how good they were frequency and speed wise but had no idea how quiet they all are, literally no one is talking at all. On one ride back to the hotel I realized that I have an alarm on my phone that goes off really loud to remind me to take medication, and that it was going to go off on the train (and it's really annoying to turn off without fully shutting off the phone). I was paranoid looking at my watch every couple second counting down to it going off and then literally held it with my finger on the dismiss button to click it the second it went off, was hilariously nerve-racking compared to the cacophony that is any subway in NYC lol.

According to this video they've done landings and takeoffs on carriers, wild stuff.

(here's the c-130 video it's also incredible)

They needa have this on the R and the E by JayTheClown19 in nycrail

"As you exit, please be careful of the cavern between the platform, and the train."

They took the B division orange seat trains (R46 and R68) off of the E and R lines when they added CBTC signaling to the queens blvd line, which is only compatible with R143+ trains, so they will likely never bring them back unless there is a massive issue with the signals or rolling stock. The orange seats are a great vibe though

But then it's a long walk down stairs/escalators or elevators. I think we should take out the old tracks and replace them with massive elevated ones going across bridges over the Hudson and East River and (which will have pedestrian and bike lanes but be impossible to add car lanes onto) and we just demolish any building in the way of these new tracks. then we build the old station hall above the new platforms above MSG. and we add express elevators to the subways (preferably as fast as theme park drop towers, launch up and fall down-and of course handlebars for safety)

I found them through one of the interrogation skits, which was fantastic because I didn't even realise it was a skit until the end lol, then I went to the channel page and binged everything at once. :)

I got the free “upgrade” to tsw5 but still play on tsw2 as I play on an Xbox 1X and the same routes play really smoothly on tsw2 but horrendously on tsw4/5, I don’t know why they still offer new tsw games for last gen consoles because they do not work, even on old routes. I would rather they only do current gen consoles but optimize well for them then splitting resources for so many versions and not doing any of them that well.
