Subway Signal Reforms Proposed By Engineer Arnold
Bion J. Arnold, consulting engineer for the Public Service Commission, urges changes to subway signaling and interlocking. He seeks automatic speed control at station blocks, fronting a reduced headway and safer entry, plus permanent block systems on express and focal tracks. He notes current capacity limits and trains arriving at two minutes apart during rush. Arnold also recommends temporary permissive signals and two level express station tracks, plus system upgrades for return current and rail condition monitoring.
