I'm going to assume that this takes place after the winds have calmed down, so the bridges are usable: 241 St - South Ferry, local suspended Flatbush Av - Atlantic Av New Lots Av - Atlantic Av Woodlawn - Bowling Green (local) Woodlawn - Bowling Green (local) Flushing - Hunters Pt Av suspended Coney Island - Lexington Av/59 St, local in Brooklyn 95 St - Lexington Av/59 St, via Bridge runs local Coney Island - York St (customers should transfer to the at 4 Av 2 Av - 57 St Myrtle Av - Metropolitan Av shuttle Rockaways - High St, local WTC - 207 St, local suspended Jamaica Ctr - Queens Plaza, local (uses tracks to relay) Church Av - Greenpoint Av Rockaway Pkwy - Bedford Av Jamaica Ctr - Marcy Av suspended

The problem is that there isn't capacity for the , , , , , , and running on the 6 Avenue Local tracks. I suppose that using 34 St-Penn Station to turn and trains, 34 St-Herald Sq to turn and trains would be a good proposal.

NEXT: long-term construction makes the 8 Avenue Express tracks unusable between 59 St and Canal St. Try to keep TPH through the area as high as possible to avoid overcrowding.

terminates at 36 St or runs local via the to Bay Ridge-95 St terminates at Canal St, 36 St or runs local via the to Bay Ridge-95 St select trains terminate at Whitehall St or Canal St, other trains run via the Manhattan Bridge terminates at Church Av terminates at 2 Av or 36 St I'm guessing that you might have meant Utica Av, not Nostrand Av for the , in which case they can just terminate at Utica. If not, here's what I'd do: terminates at Franklin Av some trains terminate at Bowling Green or Atlantic Av some trains terminate at Flatbush Av terminates at 2 Av or 34 St terminates at Rector St terminates at Euclid Av terminates at Myrtle Av With the 8 Av Line at 23 St and 14 St, I give up

He probably doesn't know that the A and B divisions use different width cars.

Really? When I downloaded it, all I saw were .exe files. -

TheSubwayStation replied to Brighton Express's topic in Transit Modeling & Simulators
Threxx, does the unarchiver actually convert the .exe into something that my computer will be able to read? The .7z files all decompress into .csv files as you guys know, but the new doesn't. -

Is there a way to get the new on my Mac? -
Wallyhorse, do you realize how many delays this would cause? You seem to not understand that it's not just about TPH, but about schedule. When you have the , , , , and all merging around the same area when their schedules are not interlined with each other, you're going to have trains reaching W 4 St or the Chrystie St cut at the same time, and one of them will have to wait. Combine this with the fact that if a conductor said out of the blue, "This train will be running on the line from here to Essex St, and then on the line to Broadway Junction," people are going to have NO idea what's going on; probably even the most experienced subway riders don't understand how it's physically possible for the to connect with the . It's not like a simple reroute that your average rider can understand like the usual via the for example.

SUBWAY - Random Thoughts Topic
TheSubwayStation replied to EE Broadway Local's topic in New York City Subway
Showing the to Neried Avenue makes sense because almost half of the trains get sent there during rush hours. The and reroutes are only a few trains, so it would probably be even more confusing to make riders expect that their and trains would do something weird, when almost all of them don't. As for the , I don't know. -
Planned Subway Service Changes
TheSubwayStation replied to TheSubwayStation's topic in New York City Subway
I think the MTA did a really good job phrasing the via 63 St GO. Unlike the usual " runs via the " message, they specifically said, " trains skip 5 Av/59 St, Lexington Av/59 St, and Queens Plaza". That's what I think is the most clear: what stations the train isn't stopping at. Then, the description can go into more detail about where it is stopping and service alternatives along 63 St. -
This is rare:

The problem with this idea is that I don't think the 2 Av line has enough capacity to run the number of trains necessary to serve all of these branches.

SUBWAY - Random Thoughts Topic
TheSubwayStation replied to EE Broadway Local's topic in New York City Subway
Are the R142s actually having brake wear problems because of the trailer axles which don't have traction motors? I remember hearing something about that. It would surprise me, since the R142s almost never have those screeching brakes that sound like they're wearing out. I don't know though; I'm not a brake expert. It would also surprise me if the trailer axle setup was a problem, because it would appear that the MTA might be ordering the R179s in a similar configuration: http://www.nyctransi...ion-discussion/ -
Who told you that?

Exactly. I've gotten it to work perfectly; I just don't know the file name for the decompressed new folder, so I can't install it. -

Sorry, but can any of you please tell me what the folder for the 4.5 is called? I decompressed the 7z, but can't seem to find the folder. -

THANK YOU so much Brighton and Threxx. It's working (sort of). One problem: the power button, Z, isn't working. So, my train is basically coasting out of Coney Island at 2 MPH or so...Anyone know how to fix this? -

Is that better than just creating the folders as Threxx said? Or, do you think that I'll never get it to work with my current version? -

Arrrghh...I did all of this, and now nothing at all is showing up under "browse manually" for the routes or the trains...I have all of the routes under "Routes", "IND Valley Stream" under "Objects", "F2", "F3", and "F5" under "Sound", and "R160 Alstom - 10 car" under "train"...I have no idea what's wrong. -

TheSubwayStation replied to Brighton Express's topic in Transit Modeling & Simulators
Okay. Sorry to ask so many (dumb) questions, but to run the R160, do I put the folder called "R160 Alstom - 10 car" into the "Train" folder?
