After the January signal room fire at the Chambers Street station that compromised A and C train service, the MTA announced the lines are back up in service. This incident will go down in subway history as the problem that originally was estimated to take 3-5 years to fix, when it seems like it's taken the MTA just under 3 months to fix things to get "25 trains an hour on the A and C lines" during peak commuting times. NYC Transit President Lawrence "Timelines" Reuter said that "engineers came up with unbelievably creative solutions in the ways we wire and use relays over here." So Gothamist would let to give it up for the great subway engineers. Now, MTA, work on making sure the subways' signal room and wiring is up to speed to avoid another incident like this. And make sure there are fire alarms!
The A & C Trains Are Back to 100%

Somehow, I am not comforted when I read "MTA' and "unbelievably creative solution" in the same paragraph. Honestly, it scares me a bit.
The MTA obviously hired outside consultants to come up with that "unbelievably creative solution". Like they came up with the solution themselves...
I heard they found the original 1920's parts they needed in a warehouse somewhere, which sped up the process. Can anyone verify?
Maybe MTA figured it would take 3-5 years to make a time machine so they could travel back to the 1920s?
