Title: Platform Lengths
Post by: TJay1724 on July 07, 2013, 11:28:18 pm
I just wanted to point something out. The standard platfrom lengths we've been using, and have been using for over a decade is incorrect. Just realizing this. Right now we use 200 meter platforms for IND and 175 meter platforms for BMT/IRT. Those lengths are too long. The average NYC Subway platform is 500 feet to 600 feet which rounded off is 150 meters for BMT/IRT, 175 meters for IND. Realizing this now means I have to adjust any and all projects I've been working on.

Lol I've known this for the longest time dude. The generous amount of over-run spacing on most platforms, not to mention the ability to squeeze 11 car 60' stock trains at most stations was a dead giveaway XD.
