Subway Signal Reforms Proposed by Arnold
Consulting engineer Bion J. Arnold urges in a special report that automatic speed center signaling be installed as an auxiliary at station blocks and that local tracks adopt the block signal system used on express tracks. He notes headways could drop to 99 seconds and trains to forty per hour with improvements, though capacity on locals would initially fall from fifty to forty trains per hour. He also suggests temporary permissive signals and two level express stations in future subways.
