NEW YORK CITY TRANSIT'S CANARSIE LINE PROJECT: A STATUS REPORT

Geoff Hubbs, Alan F Rumsey

Abstract

As part of its ongoing modernization program, New York City Transit (NYCT) plans to modernize its signal system from fixed block/wayside signals to communications based train control (CBTC) technology. The Canarsie Line is the first NYCT line to be equipped with CBTC technology and a unique aspect of the Canarsie Line project is the procurement process that is being used to select the new signal system. This paper provides a progress report for the project emphasizing the lessons learned to date in implementing such a revolutionary change in rail rapid transit signaling technology.
