How heavy is the average train?

How long, on average, does a subway train take to cross the East River?

  • For instance, if on the F train, how long would it take after leaving York St. for a train to arrive at East Broadway? Or, for instance, if on the A train, how long would it take after leaving High St. for a train to arrive at Fulton St.? Times may differ for trains that cross via the Manhattan Bridge.

  • Answer:

    It takes the Q and B trains 10 minutes to get from Dekalb to Canal over the Manhattan bridge.

Peter Samson, a pioneering MIT computer scientist, set out in 1966 to race the entire subway system in the least possible time. After crunching the numbers, he stipulated that on average it took five minutes for a train to cross the East River. His latest research took place in 1980, so the figure may well be outdated.
