Umm...thats incorrect top speed should be 60-65mph.A few months ago (R) was re-routed via Astoria and this guy hit 66mph in the tubes R46.Every train can hit 40-41mph with ease especially the R32,142,142A,143,160,46.Top speed for MN & LIRR is like 90mph the subway lets put it at about 55-65mph
WHOA!are you trying to kill people.According to my Aunt (who has been with MTA before I was even born) and from my personal experience with watching the train hit its speed in the tubes and out of the tubes on the IRT The trains go 40mph (45mph is the highest they go to then slow down to 40mph) and on the BMT 40mph (The highest the go is 43mph then slow down some times 50mph) Going faster than that is a Passenger endangerment especially after the terrible accident of 63 when a Drunk Man named Robert Ray went WAYY above the speed limit causing the worse Train accident of 1963 in the New York City Transit System. The Long Island Railroad does speeds of 50 mph but when not in residential Areas 80mph Metro North is 55mph and in non residential Areas is 85-90 mph.

Heaven7, I noticed that you had an R160 in your previous posts...I'm guessing that's a reskin of Jaleel's R143 from trainzluvr.net. I just wanted to ask if anyone knows where I can get it! I tried to download the zip file but it says the file is invalid or corrupted...Can someone please help me??? I'm also pretty sure this is freeware, so if it can be distributed can someone send it to me?

Seems I'm not so good with the forums...oh well. In any case thank you expressline3train. To reiterate what i said earlier..can someone send me a link or contact jaleel and ask him to fix the one on trainz luvr because i can't download the r143 :-(
Here are a few pics of the Bronx section of my NYCTA layout. Some of you have probably seen them before. A lot of work has been going on since the last time I posted some pics.
Bronxville Road
167 Street
Its been about 2 years since I last gave an update on this layout. Old age caught up with my PC causing me MAJOR problems back in September of 2008. The shutdowns, blue screens, etc... I thought I lost everything. Luckily I backed the files up a few days before my PC started crashing. I finally got Trainz up and running on my new PC. The layout is running WAY smoother than it did 2 years ago. Last week work started on the layout once again. More pics will be put up soon.
