One can hope, my friend. Of all the adventures I had on going on those trains, the smell of the engine( when you get on, you catch a whiff of the train, to me it smells nice), the excitement of going elsewhere. God yes.
Que bonitos trenes del MTA, como quisiera que en mexico hubiera ese tipo de transporte moderno y eficiente. What beautiful trains of the MTA, as I wish that in Mexico there was that type of modern and efficient transport.
Thanks for showing the R42 (J). Ever since I was 2 years old, I lived by Chauncey Street and wished I could operate one when I grew up. Now that I'm 15, it makes me upset that in 2017 that they're going to be replaced by the R179s and I doubt you any future rolling stock is going to have good Railfan Windows like the older cars. I guess the only thing I can do now is accept the fact that rollsigns aren't just given away for free.
Since other railroads run over these lines, does this mean they would have to have this installed on their equipment and they have to keep that same equipment in the area?
In a sense PTC is CBTC's baby brother. CBTC is much more complex and expanded in its methods than that of PTC. I am a CBTC specialist and yes we are hurting for qualified personnel in both CBTC and PTC divisions.
Parnab Goswami I guess. PTC is a system that uses signals and sensors to communicate with trains to prevent derailments and collisions when the driver is unresponsive. In other words, it would automatically stop the train if it goes too fast, goes through a misaligned switch, about to collide with another train, or enters a work zone where the track is taken out of service.
PTC actually _is_ a safety standard in the US, it’s just taking a good while to implement it everywhere. The deadline has been moved back a couple times already because the railroads were not able to build out the system fast enough. Remember that the US is a country spanning an area almost as big as the entire continent of Europe, and our states are comparable to the nations of Europe. Just the distance alone makes it difficult to implement a system like PTC, especially since we’re late getting started. (The need was recognized in the 1940s when a nationwide speed limit of 79 was put in place until a PTC-like system could be built. Only we didn’t start until recently.)
Ethan Lamoureux. Thanks for your answer. I recognize that America is a continent and that it takes time. But what amazes me, or seems strange is that you have the technology, the know how and the finances yet there needs to be accidents like Hoboken for people to talk about PTC. Or the recent Amtrak accident on the new built track south of Seattle, isn’t it standard to build PTC when building new tracks?
Ethan Lamoureux. Really, installing a system and opening the new stretch without having tested it. That sounds very unprofessional, are you sure? Anyway, the accidents are tragic and it’s good news seeing PTC implemented. As well as getting the funds to renovate old infrastructure like the bridges along the NEC.
This is why the PTC system was not tested and made operational prior to opening the line: the speed limit was less than 80. You see, in 1946 there was a bad train wreck in Naperville, Illinois. The engineer was blamed for not applying the brakes soon enough, and even though it was ruled that there were multiple causes for the wreck, some officials thought that the accident could have been prevented had the train’s brakes been applied automatically. The government response was to require that any train going 80 mph or more has to have an automatic train control system. The train in the wreck had been going 80, and they apparently thought that 79 was safe while 80 was not. Anyway, 79 was fast enough to where the railroads decided it was easier to limit their speed rather than install new train control systems. And so it remains to this day, so long as the speed limit is 79, they are free to operate without PTC. It’s such a deeply ingrained practice that they don’t think twice about opening new tracks without PTC. At least they did test the route before running passengers, but not adequately, apparently, since the engineer missed the speed limit sign and ran off the curve. And that is why PTC is necessary for speeds below 80.
MTA has made many memories and fun adventures for me when I was a child. Love you MTA, and your trains😁
yeah me too i love the mta and want to work for them
One can hope, my friend. Of all the adventures I had on going on those trains, the smell of the engine( when you get on, you catch a whiff of the train, to me it smells nice), the excitement of going elsewhere. God yes.
Royalsticker powerparts same. I loved riding the subway
I agree. I love the smell, I would love to work here, and I can't wait for the 2nd Ave subway in December!
It just feels so nostalgic. Glad you agree with me on the scent part.

The MTA system and workers are doing great to make their Positive Train Control, a little brighter for commuters to get where they are going! 😁👍👏👏👏👏👏
I wanna work for the MTA but I wanna drive the 6 train but it has to be an R142A because I hate the R62A'S well I am starting to like them a little
Which type of subway cars have a passenger accessible front window?
Since other railroads run over these lines, does this mean they would have to have this installed on their equipment and they have to keep that same equipment in the area?
Yes
So umm I don't live in Manhattan or Brooklyn and not even the Bronx but I live in queens and there is a station called "wood side" for the LIRR
Super Cool Filmz HD Woodside is nice
god bless the mta
Nice work ;)
Septa already has ptc
Is CBTC a type of PTC?

Go MTA
A blue M8 train 1:07
Edrick 1246 Not sure if that's true.
Lol.
XD
@- GMB248 I guess.
Would ATC or other modern signaling systems be cheaper?
ATC and PTC are virtually the same thing. Although ATC auto stops the train if a signal is passed where PTC goes off every 30-45 seconds
@@Mnrr6131 I thought ATC was the one that went off every 30 seconds if nothing was touched.
ATC is already there and not installing PTC would've been cheaper they didn't really need the new system nothing wrong with ATC.
@@maxrshelltrack7443 your right
1:14 EXCUSE ME, BUT IS THAT A FUCKING BLUE M8?!
How is this different than CBTC?
Parnab Goswami PTC is (almost) essentially CBTC for the railroad system. Commuter rail and subways are different breeds to trains.
Got it. PTC is a process of CBTC...is that it?
Parnab Goswami I guess. PTC is a system that uses signals and sensors to communicate with trains to prevent derailments and collisions when the driver is unresponsive. In other words, it would automatically stop the train if it goes too fast, goes through a misaligned switch, about to collide with another train, or enters a work zone where the track is taken out of service.
PTC still keeps wayside signals whereas CBTC is all cab signals.
@@blakemcnamara9105 gotcha
Why didn’t they buy ETCS ?
Onkel Fabs Each system must be custom made for each railroad.
bring back the old steam engines
Oohs
Its so strange from a European perspective that PTC isn’t a safety standard already in the US!

If I heard correctly PTC was actually in place on the new tracks south of Seattle, but had not yet been tested and approved for use.
