You Tube video of Portland Oregon Tram Test Rescue
MTA is reporting that there will be regular Roosevelt Island F Train service in both directions this weekend. Unfortunately, there is a Tram advisory for Sunday morning through early afternoon. From RIOC:
On Sunday, April 13th, 2008. The Tramway will be shutdown from 6AM to 2 PM.No complaint here. We do not want a repeat of the April 18-19, 2006 fiasco when Roosevelt Island tram passengers were stuck overnight dangling over the East River depicted here in NY Times video. Below is NY 1 video recap of incident and follow up safety tests.
This schedule is necessary in order to perform cabin rescue and evacuation drills..
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this change.
