Hi everyone and I’m back with another full ride for everyone. In this journey, we take a run on the (R) Line which is one of the longer routes in the system. The (R) has been rather interesting since CBTC was installed on QBL. Before the installation, they had their own cars, just like the (E) and (F) Lines. Now that CBTC appears on the line, the (E) (F) (R) Lines share their cars together which gives interesting combinations. At times QBL can be fun, but this line has the most communication failures out of the CBTC lines. Now there might be some people who say that CBTC has been horrible for QBL, but I think it helped to enhance service on the line and allowed for more service and to reduce crowding in some capacity. I think MTA can do a better job with making sure the signal system on QBL runs smooth without failures. When I did my runs on the (F), it was after a massive CBTC communication failure that went for the whole afternoon and caused the suspension of (M) Trains in Manhattan until CBTC was fixed. But yeah, sit back, relax and enjoy this ride as we take a journey through Brooklyn, Manhattan & Queens. I apologize for taking a while to upload stuff recently, I recently moved down to Washington DC for my summer internship and I’m having a lot of fun here. Since coming to DC last Saturday, I went to AEW Dynamite and I will be meeting one of my good online gaming friends named YoshiPhoenix at the comic con here in DC. In the coming days, I will have clips from my experience at AEW Dynamite and it was a lot of fun.
