You can also find on this map a few of the other commuter lines that are not officially part of the subway, such as Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) tracks, buses, and AirTrains - but let's ignore those for now.Īs you can see, no subway line ever leaves New York and no physical subway connection exists from Staten Island to the rest of the subway system.

Unlike many other subway systems around the world, there are no zones because you pay the same fare regardless of how far or how long your trip is. The cost of going from one station to a neighboring station (say, a one-minute ride) is the same as traveling from one end of the map to the other (which might take two hours). The colored subway lines on the map indicate related trains that share a portion of common track. Here are the main lines: Train ServicesĪs you can see, each line has a name and a specific color. The 8th Ave line for instance is always blue, while the Broadway - 7th Ave line is always red. Don't worry about the line names too much. Even locals often don't know the official name of a given line (and you'll see later why). Within each line, there are a few services which are each designated with a single letter or a single number. We refer to these services as just 'trains'. For instance, within the 'blue' 8th Ave line there are three services which are, and. These three services are grouped into this 'blue' 8th Ave line, because they share a common tunnel/avenue/street at some point on their journey (8th Ave). However, these three trains have different starting and/or ending stations. Similarly, the, and services on the 'red' Broadway-7th Ave line run along Broadway and 7th Ave, but they do start and end at different stations. I should pause here and note that while it might be tempting to use these colored lines to describe directions, you ought to be using the single letter/number designation for the the specific services instead. It's confusing to say that you are taking the 'blue' 8th Ave line, because the three services within them (, and ) go to entirely different endpoints (or terminals as we call them) and even stop at different stations on the same shared path. This is the reason why locals don't refer to lines by their names or even color. People never say, 'Take the green' or 'Take the red line' Instead they say, 'Take the 4 train' or 'Take the 2 train'. Even though a line and a service have different meanings, you will find that colloquially the word 'line' is sometimes used when 'service' or 'train' is meant. For instance, 'Let's take the 4 line to Yankee Stadium' is technically incorrect, but the single number 4 implies that we are talking about the 4 service. Express trains skip certain stations for faster service, while local trains stop at every station along their path. From the above table, you can see that the and trains are generally express trains, but the train is a local train. Similarly, on the 8th Ave line, the train will generally run express while the train will always run local. I recently acquired an old Pace Sidetalk 1000B 23 channel AM/SSB base from a friend. I cleaned it up, did a tuneup on it, and lined up all the crystals so they are on frequency, for the most part (this radio goes up to 27.605). I didn't really see any board number anywhere on it, but if I can locate a board number, I'll post it here on this thread. The trouble is that on AM, when receiving a strong close range signal, the meter shows only about 3-4 'S' units.

The receive audio is great, clear and loud. Model: Sidetalk 1000B - Pace Communications Harbor Shape Tablemodel with Clock ((Alarm-) Clock Radio). The letter B at the end sometimes means the Base version of an otherwise identical mobile chassis (Midland 13-862 & 13-862B, Pace Sidetalk 1000M & Sidetalk 1000B, etc.) 4. On SSB, the meter reads as it should, with audio clear and loud.

Either it never was, or it was made after SAMS quit. Someone has had a Pace Side Top 1000 B in storage for 30 years or more and is considering giving it to me.

I did a receive alignment, but didn't really change anything for the meter movement on AM. Commercial, Professional Radio and Personal Radio.We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions. Might there be a component that could be bad in the meter circuit on AM that I am overlooking? I love using this old radio, it's a nice clean vintage unit, and it talks quite nicely. The only rub is that the 'S' meter reading is very 'stingy' on AM.
