New!!! NXSYS, much improved, is now available for the Macintosh. Click here.
NXSYS, New York City Subway Signalling and Interlocking Simulator for
Microsoft Windows®
A tool and toy and labor of love by Bernard S. Greenberg (contact Bernard).
NXSYS is an application for modern versions of Microsoft® Windows® (and
now Macintosh Mac OS X - see below) that recreates for you the
experience of controlling switches, signals, and trains in the New York
City Subway system. Rather than conventional menus and toolbars, NXSYS
presents to you the exact same user interface as so-called
"Entrance-Exit" "pushbutton interlockings" present to New York City
subway towerpersons, except that instead of pressing buttons with your
finger, you click with the mouse. And instead of commanding real trains
full of people, NXSYS simulates them cybernetically. You see the same
display, get the same options and responses, must learn the same skills,
and may enjoy the same pleasures as a towerperson at an "entrance-exit"
interlocking.
There is no more comprehensive, detailed information source on New York
Subway Signalling publicly available, or perhaps even to insiders. This
is THE way to learn about New York City Subway signalling. And it's for
free, fun, interactive, extensible, and assumes no prior knowledge. (If
you wish to learn about NY City signalling right now on the web, and
aren't interested in trying NXSYS, or don't have a Windows® machine,
please visit NYC Subway Signals, written by the author of this program
and its documentation.)
