Since then, | The '''Cárdenas Metro''' is a [[wikipedia:rapid transit|rapid transit]] railway network that serves the city of [[Cárdenas]], capital of the [[Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie]]. The Metro was opened in {{AN|1686}}, consisting of four lines. Since then, five more lines have been added to the network, and the Conzalito Tram-Train was incorporated as well. It has a total of 265 stations, and a total length of 197 km. It is one of the largest and most modern railway networks in [[Keltia]], and indeed on [[Micras]], and takes more than a million passengers each day. | ||
The line is operated by the local transport provider, FDTA, which also operates the commuter rail services: the Aeropuerto Express Line, the Cárdenas-Albaño-Conzalito Line, and the Cárdenas-Jinozonte Line. | |||

Since the opening of the network, the TR-80 Subway Train has been the staple vehicle. But since 1705, the TR-100 is slowly replacing all previous trains, having higher average speeds and more capacity. The SPD-40A Tram-Train, which drives the Conzalito Tram-Train line, replaced the aged SPD-30 Tram-Train in {{AN|1701}}. | |||

{| class="wikitable" | Line A serves the bulk of the northwest suburbs, running on the western part of downtown, including the Military District, and then east through the southern downtown, ending in the southeast section of the city, at San Frapa. It connects with several lines in its run, starting with the Conzalito Tram-Train, then Line H, C and F, running along the B and E lines downtown, turning east and crossing Lines H, G, B, and C, before crossing Line D again and ending at an interchange with Line F. It has 31 stations, with terminals at Alturas de Chile and Gustierrez. It is identified by the colour Blue. | ||
Line A was the first line to be opened. Approval was given, along with Lines B to D, in {{AN|1682}}. Work began in the central part, between Archivos Nacionales and Grande Unión, in the same year, and was completed after more than 4 years of construction. Due to the high density surroundings of the line, bored tinnels were used. But the part between Panalella and Alvarez Avenue were built above ground, as was the part beyond Olos. The line opened between Alvarez Avenue and Olos in {{AN|1686}}. Several stations, which were unsuitable at the time, were opened in {{AN|1688}}. New stations, serving the new [[Ciudad de los Deportes sports complex]], opened in {{AN|1691}}. The extension to Alturas de Chile completed a year later. The extension to San Frapas, and the Gustierrez P+R, finished in {{AN|1698}}, although the latter station opened with 2 year delay due to safety concerns. It is a vital connection between the Grande Uníon Station and important places such as the [[Cortes Federales]] and [[Ciudad de los Deportes sports complex|Ciudad de los Deportes]]. | |||

Line B runs through some densely populated areas of Cárdenas, starting at the popular southern suburbs, running through the Government and University districts in a Loop, before turning east through downtown, turning south and serving the eastern downtown, before ending at the southeast suburbs. It connects to nearly all lines of the network, starting with Line H, running alongside Line E before coming to [[Cárdenas Grande Unión Station|Grande Unión Station]] and joining Line A, looping west and crossing Lines B and C, running alongside Line I, turning east and crossing Line H again, then Line G, before running alongside Line C and crossing Line A, turning east with a final crossing with Line D, before terminating in Chalas. It is identified by the Colour Red. On weekdays, due to demand, the lines are split at Monumento Nacional, with one line servicing the west loop, and the other the eastbound section. | |||
Line B was the second line to be opened. Approval was given, along with Lines A, C and D, in {{AN|1682}}. Construction began on the central part alongside Line A, and was finished only two months later than the former. The line opened, with the west loop, and running to Bagalipe and Niños Pequeños, in that year. The line runs underground through the west loop, and as far as Grande Uníon and Niños Pequeños. Beyond that, the line runs above ground. Several stations, like on Line A, opened only in {{AN|1688}}. New infill stations servicing the University, and several others, opened in {{AN|1691}}. The extension to Jinozonte opened in {{AN|1694}}, and the extension further, to Chalas, in {{AN|1698}}. Splitting the services between the west loop and the east route occured in {{AN|1702}}, to accomodate growing demands in the University District and the city centre. The extension to Masquito opened in {{AN|1710}}. Its most important connection are between the University and the rest of the city center, as well as the southern suburbs to the Grande Uníon Station. | |||

{| class="wikitable" | Line C is a circular route, servicing most of the outer suburbs as well as some densely populated areas in the west downtown. As such, it crosses all lines and acts as a connector service. It officially starts at Museo Nacional, running in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions. It is identified by the colour Brown. | ||
Line C was approved, along with Lines A, B, and D, on {{AN|1682}}. The line is exclusively underground, and was built using bored tunnels. It opened in the same week as Line B, but the loop was only completed after the section between Patiapa Este and Espacio Estrellas was completed in {{AN|1691}}. Since then, several infill stations have opened in waves, in {{AN|1694}}, {{AN|1698}}, and {{AN|1706}}. As a circular line, it is utilized extensively as a connector between different lines, but also for destinations such as the University Hospital and Silver Fort, and the north and southern suburbs. | |||

=== | === Line D === | ||
{| class="wikitable" | Line D is the longest line in the network, and runs through most of the southern suburbs and eastern suburbs, ending in the northeast. It crosses most of the southbound and eastbound lines, starting with the interchange with Line C, crossing Lines A, B and E, then running through the southern suburbs and crossing Lines H and G, before turning northeast, crossing Line As and F, servicing the eastern suburbs before turning and interchanging with Line F again, running north and crossing Line I, ending at Tastin. It is identified by the colour Yellow, and is the only line where stylized trains run on. | ||
Line D was approved, along with Lines A to C, in {{AN|1682}}. Work completed one month after Line C opened. It runs underground as far as Caniron Mercado, but crosses Jinozonte station with a lower platform station, and runs above ground beyond that. The line opened between Ensayos de Libertad and Plaza Moral in {{AN|1686}}, with various stations opening only in {{AN|1688}}, like Lines A to C. New stations servicing the Entertaminment District opened in {{AN|1694}}, along with the extension to Bemar. The service between Bemar and Jario ran first on the Line F, as far as Seniuca, but the reroute to Ocodasmo opened in {{AN|1700}}, along with the extension to Tastin. Tastin Norte station opened in {{AN|1706}}. After 21:00, the line runs along the former Bemar-Jario route, bypassing the Ocodasmo branch, due to lower capacity. It services most of the Entertainment District, but also many east suburbs, with a connection to Grande Uníon Station. | |||

{| class="wikitable" | Line E runs through most of the northern downtown, but starts in the southwest suburbs and ends in the north suburbs. Between that, it crosses most lines, running alongside Line B up to [[Cárdenas Grande Unión Station|Grande Unión Station]], and further on with Line A, before turning east and crossing Line F and H, then Line G, and Lines C and I before ending at Laguzalito Norte. It is identified by the colour Purple. | ||
Line E was the first of the two 'second wave' lines to be approved, along with Line F, in {{AN|1688}}. Construction commenced and was completed by {{AN|1691}}. It is one of the few lines that runs more above ground than below, with the track from Grande Uníon and from Fuerte Plata being above ground. The line opened between Choba Mercado and Ahuaco in {{AN|1691}}. The extension to Pontarona came in {{AN|1694}}, while the extensions to La Denio and Laguzalito came in {{AN|1704}}. It is a vital connection from Grande Uníon Station to the city center, but also for destinations like the Silver Fort and Monumento Nacional, and the north and southwest suburbs. | |||

It is identified by the colour Orange. | ||
Line F was approved, along with Line E, in {{AN|1688}}. Work took three years, and was finished two months after Line E opened. Line F runs underground in the city center, but comes above ground at Bocabona and Jario. The section between Bemar and Gustierrez is however also underground. The line opened between Bocabona and Alanregal in {{AN|1691}}. The extension to Jario followed in {{AN|1694}}. Line D used the track between Jario and Bemar was used by Line D until the Ocodasmo route opened in {{AN|1700}}. Line F took over services on the track, using the stations opened there in {{AN|1698}}. In the same year, the extension to San Maríara came online. The extension to Albaño followed in {{AN|1704}}. Acting as the main west-east line in the network, it services a lot of travel through the city center, as well as the west and east suburbs. | |||

{| class="wikitable" | Line G serves as the north-south service for the network, as well as the Airport access line. It runs through most of the city center, looping through the Airport and ending in the south at Casa María. It crosses most lines in the city center, starting with Lines C and D, then Line A, interchaning with Line H and crossing Line B, on to Line F and E, before passing Line C again and finally Line H, also interchanging with the Conzalito Tram-Train. It is identified by the colour Silver/Grey. | ||
Line G was approved, along with Line H, as part of the 'North-South Connection' project, in {{AN|1694}}. Construction took 4 years, with the lines lying mostly underground, before coming above ground on a lower-platform station at Izaran, and on the other side at Plaza Upiedas. The line is also underground at the Airport Loop. The line opened between Sicero and Aueropuerto Tránsito in {{AN|1698}}. Several fill-in stations however, were not opened until {{AN|1700}}. The Airport Loop opened in {{AN|1707}}, and in the same year the extension to Casa María became operational. After 21:00, the line stops at Aeropuerto Tránsito, not using the loop, due to low demand. It connects the Airport directly to the city center, and is the main north-south connection in the network. | |||

{| class="wikitable" | The Conzalito Tram-Train is a hybrid line utilizing both on-street tracks as well as dedicated train track. It connects to the Line A at Puerte Nuevo, to Line H at Conzalito, and Line G at Manco Cápac. | ||
The Conzalito Tram-Train project was announced by the City Council in {{AN|1695}}, but it was taken by the FDTA and started construction in {{AN|1697}}. It opened between Esquiri and Sumalco in {{AN|1700}}. The extensions to Puerte Nuevo and Manco Cápac followed soon in {{AN|1701}}. It is entirely above ground; between Sumalco and Esquiri, it is on-street track; while beyond, to Puerte Nuevo and Manco Cápac, it utilizes light rail track. It serves wholly the municipal territory of Conzalito, except beyond Mirada and Zugoza, where the borders of the FCD are crossed. | |||

Line I runs through most of the northern suburbs, as well as in the dense west downtown. It crosses several lines. It shares track with Line B, before turning north and sharing track with Line C, turning north and crossing Line F, then Line A, turning east and crossing Line H and Line G, after that crossing Line E and ending at the interchange with Line D. | |||
Line I was approved as part of the 'Harbor Metro Line' project in {{AN|1710}}. Construction took long because of the high density areas it passed, necessitating bored tunnels. It opened in its entirety between Ensayos de Libertad and Natezo in {{AN|1716}}. It runs entirely underground. It connects the Harbour to the network, as well as a express connection between the Airport and the University and Government Districts. | |||

The Cárdenas Metro is a rapid transit railway network that serves the city of Cárdenas, capital of the Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie. The Metro was opened in 1686 AN, consisting of four lines. Since then, five more lines have been added to the network, and the Conzalito Tram-Train was incorporated as well. It has a total of 265 stations, and a total length of 197 km. It is one of the largest and most modern railway networks in Keltia, and indeed on Micras, and takes more than a million passengers each day.
The line is operated by the local transport provider, FDTA, which also operates the commuter rail services: the Aeropuerto Express Line, the Cárdenas-Albaño-Conzalito Line, and the Cárdenas-Jinozonte Line.
Rolling stock
Since the opening of the network, the TR-80 Subway Train has been the staple vehicle. But since 1705, the TR-100 is slowly replacing all previous trains, having higher average speeds and more capacity. The SPD-40A Tram-Train, which drives the Conzalito Tram-Train line, replaced the aged SPD-30 Tram-Train in 1701 AN.

Stations
Line A
Line A serves the bulk of the northwest suburbs, running on the western part of downtown, including the Military District, and then east through the southern downtown, ending in the southeast section of the city, at San Frapa. It connects with several lines in its run, starting with the Conzalito Tram-Train, then Line H, C and F, running along the B and E lines downtown, turning east and crossing Lines H, G, B, and C, before crossing Line D again and ending at an interchange with Line F. It has 31 stations, with terminals at Alturas de Chile and Gustierrez. It is identified by the colour Blue.
Line A was the first line to be opened. Approval was given, along with Lines B to D, in 1682 AN. Work began in the central part, between Archivos Nacionales and Grande Unión, in the same year, and was completed after more than 4 years of construction. Due to the high density surroundings of the line, bored tinnels were used. But the part between Panalella and Alvarez Avenue were built above ground, as was the part beyond Olos. The line opened between Alvarez Avenue and Olos in 1686 AN. Several stations, which were unsuitable at the time, were opened in 1688 AN. New stations, serving the new Ciudad de los Deportes sports complex, opened in 1691 AN. The extension to Alturas de Chile completed a year later. The extension to San Frapas, and the Gustierrez P+R, finished in 1698 AN, although the latter station opened with 2 year delay due to safety concerns. It is a vital connection between the Grande Uníon Station and important places such as the Cortes Federales and Ciudad de los Deportes.

Line B
Line B runs through some densely populated areas of Cárdenas, starting at the popular southern suburbs, running through the Government and University districts in a Loop, before turning east through downtown, turning south and serving the eastern downtown, before ending at the southeast suburbs. It connects to nearly all lines of the network, starting with Line H, running alongside Line E before coming to Grande Unión Station and joining Line A, looping west and crossing Lines B and C, running alongside Line I, turning east and crossing Line H again, then Line G, before running alongside Line C and crossing Line A, turning east with a final crossing with Line D, before terminating in Chalas. It is identified by the Colour Red. On weekdays, due to demand, the lines are split at Monumento Nacional, with one line servicing the west loop, and the other the eastbound section.
Line B was the second line to be opened. Approval was given, along with Lines A, C and D, in 1682 AN. Construction began on the central part alongside Line A, and was finished only two months later than the former. The line opened, with the west loop, and running to Bagalipe and Niños Pequeños, in that year. The line runs underground through the west loop, and as far as Grande Uníon and Niños Pequeños. Beyond that, the line runs above ground. Several stations, like on Line A, opened only in 1688 AN. New infill stations servicing the University, and several others, opened in 1691 AN. The extension to Jinozonte opened in 1694 AN, and the extension further, to Chalas, in 1698 AN. Splitting the services between the west loop and the east route occured in 1702 AN, to accomodate growing demands in the University District and the city centre. The extension to Masquito opened in 1710 AN. Its most important connection are between the University and the rest of the city center, as well as the southern suburbs to the Grande Uníon Station.

Line C
Line C is a circular route, servicing most of the outer suburbs as well as some densely populated areas in the west downtown. As such, it crosses all lines and acts as a connector service. It officially starts at Museo Nacional, running in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions. It is identified by the colour Brown.
Line C was approved, along with Lines A, B, and D, on 1682 AN. The line is exclusively underground, and was built using bored tunnels. It opened in the same week as Line B, but the loop was only completed after the section between Patiapa Este and Espacio Estrellas was completed in 1691 AN. Since then, several infill stations have opened in waves, in 1694 AN, 1698 AN, and 1706 AN. As a circular line, it is utilized extensively as a connector between different lines, but also for destinations such as the University Hospital and Silver Fort, and the north and southern suburbs.

Line D
Line D is the longest line in the network, and runs through most of the southern suburbs and eastern suburbs, ending in the northeast. It crosses most of the southbound and eastbound lines, starting with the interchange with Line C, crossing Lines A, B and E, then running through the southern suburbs and crossing Lines H and G, before turning northeast, crossing Line As and F, servicing the eastern suburbs before turning and interchanging with Line F again, running north and crossing Line I, ending at Tastin. It is identified by the colour Yellow, and is the only line where stylized trains run on.
Line D was approved, along with Lines A to C, in 1682 AN. Work completed one month after Line C opened. It runs underground as far as Caniron Mercado, but crosses Jinozonte station with a lower platform station, and runs above ground beyond that. The line opened between Ensayos de Libertad and Plaza Moral in 1686 AN, with various stations opening only in 1688 AN, like Lines A to C. New stations servicing the Entertaminment District opened in 1694 AN, along with the extension to Bemar. The service between Bemar and Jario ran first on the Line F, as far as Seniuca, but the reroute to Ocodasmo opened in 1700 AN, along with the extension to Tastin. Tastin Norte station opened in 1706 AN. After 21:00, the line runs along the former Bemar-Jario route, bypassing the Ocodasmo branch, due to lower capacity. It services most of the Entertainment District, but also many east suburbs, with a connection to Grande Uníon Station.

Line E
Line E runs through most of the northern downtown, but starts in the southwest suburbs and ends in the north suburbs. Between that, it crosses most lines, running alongside Line B up to Grande Unión Station, and further on with Line A, before turning east and crossing Line F and H, then Line G, and Lines C and I before ending at Laguzalito Norte. It is identified by the colour Purple.
Line E was the first of the two 'second wave' lines to be approved, along with Line F, in 1688 AN. Construction commenced and was completed by 1691 AN. It is one of the few lines that runs more above ground than below, with the track from Grande Uníon and from Fuerte Plata being above ground. The line opened between Choba Mercado and Ahuaco in 1691 AN. The extension to Pontarona came in 1694 AN, while the extensions to La Denio and Laguzalito came in 1704 AN. It is a vital connection from Grande Uníon Station to the city center, but also for destinations like the Silver Fort and Monumento Nacional, and the north and southwest suburbs.

Line F
Line F is a mostly west-east line, servicing the city center, but ending in Albaño and Gustierrez. It crosses most lines, starting with Line I, then Lines C and A, crossing Line E and H and then Line F, before crossing Line C again and interchanging at Line D twice, before ending at an interchange with Line A. It is identified by the colour Orange.
Line F was approved, along with Line E, in 1688 AN. Work took three years, and was finished two months after Line E opened. Line F runs underground in the city center, but comes above ground at Bocabona and Jario. The section between Bemar and Gustierrez is however also underground. The line opened between Bocabona and Alanregal in 1691 AN. The extension to Jario followed in 1694 AN. Line D used the track between Jario and Bemar was used by Line D until the Ocodasmo route opened in 1700 AN. Line F took over services on the track, using the stations opened there in 1698 AN. In the same year, the extension to San Maríara came online. The extension to Albaño followed in 1704 AN. Acting as the main west-east line in the network, it services a lot of travel through the city center, as well as the west and east suburbs.

Line G
Line G serves as the north-south service for the network, as well as the Airport access line. It runs through most of the city center, looping through the Airport and ending in the south at Casa María. It crosses most lines in the city center, starting with Lines C and D, then Line A, interchaning with Line H and crossing Line B, on to Line F and E, before passing Line C again and finally Line H, also interchanging with the Conzalito Tram-Train. It is identified by the colour Silver/Grey.
Line G was approved, along with Line H, as part of the 'North-South Connection' project, in 1694 AN. Construction took 4 years, with the lines lying mostly underground, before coming above ground on a lower-platform station at Izaran, and on the other side at Plaza Upiedas. The line is also underground at the Airport Loop. The line opened between Sicero and Aueropuerto Tránsito in 1698 AN. Several fill-in stations however, were not opened until 1700 AN. The Airport Loop opened in 1707 AN, and in the same year the extension to Casa María became operational. After 21:00, the line stops at Aeropuerto Tránsito, not using the loop, due to low demand. It connects the Airport directly to the city center, and is the main north-south connection in the network.

Line H
Line H operates through most of the city center, moving from north to south, ending in Conzalito and Aldorro. It passes most other lines in between, starting at the interchange with Line B, then crossing Line C and D, coming to Line A, then interchanging with Line G, and crossing Line B again. From there, it interchanges with Lines E and F, before crossing Line B a final time, and lastly Line I, before terminating at the interchange with the Conzalito Tram-Train.
Line H was approved, along with Line G, as the north-sound line connections of the network in 1694 AN. Work continued and finished a month after Line G. The line is underground in the city center, but comes above ground at Plaza Real and at Limara. The line opened between Bagalipe and Bontocosta in 1698 AN. The extension to Conzalito followed in 1700 AN, but most infill stations only opened in 1704 AN. The extension to Aldorro followed in 1709 AN. It acts as an important connection from north to south, as well as vital locations in the city center.

Conzalito Tram-Train
The Conzalito Tram-Train is a hybrid line utilizing both on-street tracks as well as dedicated train track. It connects to the Line A at Puerte Nuevo, to Line H at Conzalito, and Line G at Manco Cápac.
The Conzalito Tram-Train project was announced by the City Council in 1695 AN, but it was taken by the FDTA and started construction in 1697 AN. It opened between Esquiri and Sumalco in 1700 AN. The extensions to Puerte Nuevo and Manco Cápac followed soon in 1701 AN. It is entirely above ground; between Sumalco and Esquiri, it is on-street track; while beyond, to Puerte Nuevo and Manco Cápac, it utilizes light rail track. It serves wholly the municipal territory of Conzalito, except beyond Mirada and Zugoza, where the borders of the FCD are crossed.

Line I
Line I runs through most of the northern suburbs, as well as in the dense west downtown. It crosses several lines. It shares track with Line B, before turning north and sharing track with Line C, turning north and crossing Line F, then Line A, turning east and crossing Line H and Line G, after that crossing Line E and ending at the interchange with Line D.
Line I was approved as part of the 'Harbor Metro Line' project in 1710 AN. Construction took long because of the high density areas it passed, necessitating bored tunnels. It opened in its entirety between Ensayos de Libertad and Natezo in 1716 AN. It runs entirely underground. It connects the Harbour to the network, as well as a express connection between the Airport and the University and Government Districts.

Stations
Out of the 265 stations, 255 are served 24 hours a day. Underground stations in Cárdenas are typically accessed by staircases going down from street level. Many of these staircases are painted in red, with slight or significant variations in design for each station. Several stations are built underneath other buildings and have accesses inside or adjacent to it. All entrances have yellow square lights and signs with 'Metro'.
Concourse
Most stations in the subway system have mezzanines. Mezzanines allow for passengers to enter from multiple locations at an intersection and proceed to the correct platform without having to cross the street before entering. Inside mezzanines are fare control areas, where passengers physically pay their fare to enter the subway system. Many elevated stations also have platform-level fare control with no common station house between directions of service.
Paying for subway services can be done in station booths or vending machines. There is a physical ticket system, as well as a digital Contactless smart card known as TarjetaMetro. These smart cards can be swiped at a turnstile, customers enter the fare-controlled area of the station and continue to the platforms. Special 'Waiting Areas' are available in most underground stations, consisting of benches and identified by a yellow sign.
Platforms
A typical subway station has waiting platforms ranging from 150 to 180 m (450 to 600 ft). Some are longer. Most stations have platforms serving one line, but some share lines. Overhead electronic boards show which trains stop where and when. Identification is also available on the front and sides of the trains.
There are several common platform configurations. Most single line stations, especially above ground, have two side platforms. Double and multi-line stations have at least one island platform. End stations also have an island platform.
Accesibility
The network was built with facilities for Disabled people in mind. Most are handicapped-accessible, including wheelchair-friendly turnstiles. Street elevators are available for many stations. Many stations also have both staircases and escalators.
Fares
Riders pay a single fare to enter the subway system and may transfer between trains at no extra cost until they exit via station turnstiles; the fare is a flat rate regardless of how far or how long the rider travels. Thus, riders must swipe their physical ticket, TarjetaMetro, or smartphone on an reader at the turnstile upon entering the subway system, but not a second time upon leaving.
As of 1716 AN, the base fare is NAX€2.75 with the last fare increase occuring on II.1715 AN. Fares can be paid with most credit or debit cards (including smartphone pay), with a reusable TarjetaMetro, or with single-use tickets. The FDTA offers 7-day (at €14.50) and 30-day (at €60.00) unlimited ride programs that can lower the effective per-ride fare significantly. Reduced fares are available for the elderly and people with disabilities (at €1.65).
Safety and Security
Signaling
Most routes use block signalling, but several routes have been retrofitted with communication-based train control, which would allow trains to run without conductor input.
Wayside block signaling
Much of the system currently uses automatic block signaling with fixed wayside signals and automatic train stops to provide safe train operation across the whole system. These signals work by preventing trains from entering a "block" occupied by another train. Typically, the blocks are 300 m (1,000 ft) long. Red and green lights show whether a block is occupied or vacant. The train's maximum speed will depend on how many blocks are open in front of it. The signals do not register a train's speed, nor where in the block the train is located.
Subway trains are stopped mechanically at all signals showing "stop". To make train stops safe and effective, wayside trippers must not be moved to trip ("stop") position until the train has fully passed.
Communications-based train control
SInce the last years, the FDTA began automating the subway by installing CBTC, which supplements rather than replaces the fixed-block signal system; it allows trains to operate more closely together with lower headways. Due to the sucess of the system, additional cars were ordered to service the system. The Blue and Red Line were the first to be outfitted with this. The Silver Line was built with CBTC in mind. The FDTA has operated it in conjunction with OPTO since 1706 AN. It has done all this in combination with the system known as the Automatic Metro Supervision (AMS). AMS allows dispatchers in the Operations Control Center (OCC) to see where trains are in real time, and whether each individual train is running early or late. Dispatchers can hold trains for connections, re-route trains, or short-turn trains to provide better service when a disruption causes delays.
