  • No (M)
  • No (N) QBP-TSQ
  • No (1) 14th-South Ferry

The mess I posted above is for Jul 23, this weekend is just the (2)(5) busing in the Bronx, the suspension of (4) service south of Brooklyn Bridge, and various minor ones.

 

The only ones that go to tommorow are the (2)(5) busing (up to 6PM), and the turnback of the (G) at Hoyt (until Tues 5AM).

which also means that the (Q) might have to run Local between Canal St and 57 St to replace both (N) and (R) at 49 St and the (N) running via Whitehall St?

 

(like back in 2008 where they had a G.O. that caused the (R) train to run via (D)(V) lines ((M) now), the (N) ran express between Times Sq and DeKalb Av via Bridge, and the (Q) ran Local between 57 St and DeKalb Av via Whitehall St.)

The (Q6Av) is terminating at Times Square-42 Street, so I might have to run express... Then again the (Q6Av) could use the switches just North of 34 Street...

 

So thats a good question.

Whats more interesting is that the Nostalgia Train will be going to Coney Island from the Transit Museum that weekend. Therefore, in addition to the crew having to deal with the G.O.s. the passengers will be double confused as well, between the trackwork and a Nostalgia Train as well.

 

It'll be interesting!!

(Q) is express to Times Square while (N) is local to 57th St, making all local stops to replace the (R).

 

That reminds me: How come some weekends the (5) runs between 149th St and Bowling Green in addition to E180 St - Dyre Av, but other weekends (like this weekend, and on June 23) the (5) is E180 St - Dyre Av only?

I know this weekend, it's because there isn't any service south of Brooklyn Bridge and it would be silly to run the (5) from 149 St-Grand Concourse to Grand Central since they can't turn all three lines at Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall. For the 6/23 weekend, I would think it'd have something to do with the express and local runs on the (4) and (6). Uptown (4)s run local between Grand Central and 125 St and downtown trains run local from 125 St to 14 St-Union Sq. Then, you have the downtown (6) trains running express from 14 St to Brooklyn Bridge.

 

As to the long list of reroutes, this will probably be one weekend to not use mass transit.

I remember them doing that (R) reroute back in Summer 1989. Of course, back then the (F) ran in the 53rd St Tunnel. The (R) also ran its whole route during late nights, so you had (E) and (R) trains in that tunnel during late nights (at that time the (F) terminated at 57th and 6th; the 63rd Street Tunnel hadn't opened yet). The G.O. was even listed on the subway map. But this would be the first use of that G.O. in the 6th Avenue (M) era.
