In my station of the NYC Subway, Main Street Flushing (IRT
7),
yellow over yellow is used for switch left, and the third yellow
on the bottom indicates a switch right.

Can anyone tell me about the LIRR's color signal system is?
Red over green seems to mean all clear....

Also, has anyone else riddent the PATH trains here and noticed
that they're practically 2 feet from the trips before they go
down? Going about 15 mph! Do they ever get caught? I guess
those guys have the grade timing down perfect!

And finally, I saw recently that the PATH terminal was moved
about 30 yards south into the World Trade Center when it was
built, and the original terminal is going to be used as a
Data Storage Facility (i.e. Vault), I think the first inside
the city. Does anyone else know of other interesting things
done with abandoned stations? (These guys originally tried
to lease the unfinished 2nd Avenue tunnel.)

Excuse me if any of this info is a repeat, I'm new to the group.
I came in just after the article on signals in the NYC subway
system. Could someone please send me the original article?
Thanks,
Dan
