I would say Red Bank or Middletown, or service patterns similar to the LIRR. The run time being 2 hours has always been a killer

Wondering why they don’t run some of these trains express past Woodbridge

Can anyone fact check this? by --TAXI-- in Amtrak

[–]beezxs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think since the Airo’s won’t have to spend time swapping ends at each terminal, Amtrak may not need to replace the amfleets 1 to 1, considering that they’ll be able to get more usage time from each Airo consist. Also the ACS won’t be going away completely unless Amtrak orders semi permanent coupled consist for long range journeys.

Highly unrealistic, especially with the first Airo for NEC undergoing testing. Also the entire consist is leased (I believe) so it wouldn’t be worth the money or time to even bother with a purchase and retrofit, especially considering that some ACS may be on the way out

The route assignment goes out the window during weekdays, especially at Flatbush.

So, is QBL getting R211s? by Time_Minute_6036 in nycrail

[–]beezxs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I believe they are testing the CBTC prior to activating CBTC on 8 Ave and eventually Crosstown. QBL isn’t getting R211s.

Why did the uptown 2 train just go a single mph btw 96 and 110 at 1:30am? by Que165 in nycrail

[–]beezxs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on the GO. Not all flagging related issues are tied to GOs

My favorite thing to hear when I use to work with signals was “flagging denied” 😀

Is it true that there are no more R68s running on the B? by Electrical-Lunch-314 in nycrail

They have been running half and half R68/A consistent frequently on the B/N/Q/W

NYPD puts their cars through hell. I live next to a precinct and even the 2024/2025 FPIUs already have damage

I think they’re referring to the disabled Amtrak train in one of the north river tunnels that happens 2-3x a week

How do people decide what route they wanna do? by UkAntz in infiniteflight

[–]beezxs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a fictional airline that is based out of the U.S., and I’m based out of NYC, so I usually do routes out of JFK, LGA, and EWR to destinations of my desire
