Hi Guys!
This video shows how CBTC kind of works on the (7) line.
My awesome friend, TransitFanner7801 MTA was with me in this video. Check out his channel here!: / channel
Enjoy!

The sound of this shit is AMAZING

[@Alex_Campbell_MTA]

Drippy tnf Yes indeed!

[@brownmtrain4012]

The R188 closing door sounds like a R160 and a R179 sounds like a R142

[@Alex_Campbell_MTA]

Yup! The r179’s doorchime actually sounds like both the R-142, and R-142A.

[@BenTheMiner]

The R142, R142A, R142S, R143, and R179 share a door chime and the R160A, R160B, and R188 share a door chime. I'm surprised they used the R160 door chime on the R188.

[@Alex_Campbell_MTA]

BenTheMiner - Transit & Games
Well explained. Though, I would correct you. The R-143 does not, have the door chime that the R-179, R-142, and R-142A share.

The trains looked so shiny back then.. 😢

Ads on your mth mta train (and btw can you show more on inside for the 7 train pls?)

[@TheChicagoL]

I see and somewhat understand the "flashing" green as part of the CBTC operation. But what happens with respects to "home" signals located at crossover or diverging switch points? Do those signals still show green over yellow or yellow over yellow when switch points are set for a divergence? Or are those indications now deemed unnecessary under CBTC operation?? Just curious-lol.

[@Alex_Campbell_MTA]

Interesting question. Well those signal lights still show the yellow over yellow. I’ve seen green over yellow. Sometimes it can be red. With CBTC, the Signals only blink green before a train is enters, and leaves the station as part of CBTC operation.

Nice

Thanks!

Can someone explain to me what ATO is? Ik what CBTC is.

[@Alex_Campbell_MTA]

JJ Clouty
ATO means - (Automatic Train Operation).

[@jayy9029]

@@Alex_Campbell_MTA what does ATO do for a train exactly?

[@Alex_Campbell_MTA]

JJ Clouty
What ATO basically does for the subway is make trains accelerate and decelerate on its own with a push of a button. Helps trains run faster, all though there can be issues.

[@Railoffroader2]

It’s the beginning stages of eventually trying to automate the trains fully and get rid of employees so they can hoard and squander more money.

[@forza223bowe5]

I wonder why they have signals? London Underground CBTC has no lineside signals

[@marcodamasio]

Probably to be compatible with older trains without CBTC; in London, unfitted train can't run on the lines with CBTC, TBTC, DTG-R or other modern signalling systems in normal service

No more empty trains on Hudson Yards

[@Alex_Campbell_MTA]

__Weirdkid07__
On busy days. But usually on weekends, they are empty.

[@maxbataille778]

Could the r262 be equipped with CBTC equipment when the r262 go to the 1,3 and 6?

[@Alex_Campbell_MTA]

The R262 will be made with CBTC. Thing is that they wouldn’t be able to use it unless the lines it’s getting assigned already has CBTC.

[@maxbataille778]

But idk about the 42nd street shuttle

[@joshburger1216]

Are the trains running using ATO now?

[@Alex_Campbell_MTA]

Josh Burger
They use CBTC.

[@zeenoz7567]

No the 7 line does not use ATO it only uses CBTC and it wouldn’t make sense for it because it only works underground. The 7 line is 83% above ground. Only the L train uses CBTC AND ATO but only in the underground sections so when the train gets aboveground the operator has to re takeover control of the train.
Edit The 7 now Partially uses ATO, however the operator must control the Train Until the Last car leaves the station. The operator controls in yards and in the layup tracks

[@Alex_Campbell_MTA]

Yeah, I agree.

[@BenTheMiner]

It doesn't really show how CBTC works lol but nice video

[@Alex_Campbell_MTA]

Thanks! It kinda shows tho lol

[@nyctransitrailfan]

@@Alex_Campbell_MTA I think it just the train speed right. The 7 train runs with ATO. It means the 7 line arrives at a station but the Train Operator just pushes a button to stop the train. The 7 line would go slow entering the last stop. I love how the train goes faster when leaving Hudson yards.

[@Alex_Campbell_MTA]

NYC TransitRailFan Agreed! That’s pretty much what happens with CBTC.
