I got one that's non-fiction!

 

Due to a landfalling hurricane, all the underriver tubes to Brooklyn (14st/Rutgers/Cranberry/Montague/Clark/Joralemon) are flooded. Trains have been stored on all the express tracks around the system. Brighton line between Prospect Park and Atlantic have been used for layups.

 

Have fun

 

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

Only alternative to flooding on 8th ave is to keep the 6th ave line running in Manhattan with trains diverted from West 4th onward. I think SS you got it and don't even realize it yet.

 

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.

Bigger!

 

Hurricane sandy has hit!

 

Lines impassible and stations impassible

 

Sea Beach N

West End D

Culver south of Church Avenue F (The G can still use Church Avenue to terminate)

Brighton south of Prospect Park, no trains can terminate at Prospect B,Q

Livonia Avenue, 3, 4 east of Nostrand Avenue.

Canarsie Line from ENY to Canarsie L

A east of Euclid Avenue

8th Avenue Line between 14th and 23rd Streets A, C, E

Montague Street tunnel R

South Ferry 1

WTC E

 

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

Because the IRT cars leave a gap when they are on the B-division?

 

Duh...

 

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

The new uses .rw files, those will work as well.

 

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

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.

How come the subway map shows some rush-hour supplements ( to Rockaway Park, to Nereid Avenue) but not others ( to New Lots, to Jamaica-179th)? The only thing I've noticed regarding these is that the ones they don't show are a matter of terminal space, and the ones they do show are typically to provide extra service regardless.

 

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.

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:

Service Advisory

Due to early completion of weekend track work, resume regular service between 59th St - Lexington Ave and Queens. resumes between 42nd St-Times Square and 57th St-7th Ave.

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.

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:

The new cars will also be lighter. By removing propulsion motors, lightening the floors, and making other materials changes, the trimmer R179s will improve overall energy efficiency.

i heard by next week that they might do the swap, who knows (there is no confirmed date) but i think its time, tbh if it stays the way it is i wouldn't mind though

 

Who told you that?

It looks like he got it working to me, and the only problem is with the new .

 

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 THREXX AND BRIGHTON EXPRESS. It's working.

 

Okay, I'm going to download the new route.

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?

@TSS, you need to update your OpenBVE.

 

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?

Both, please....

 

Okay; I don't know if this is going to help you but this is it:

 

 

My OpenBVE window:

 

My Route folder:

 

 

"get info" window for my Route folder:

 

 

"get info" window for my IND Valley Stream folder (within Object):

 

 

My Sound Folder:

 

 

"get info" window for my Sound folder:

 

 

My Train folder:

 

 

"get info" window for my Train folder:

 

Screenshot? I need to see your path's and your OpenBVE window.

 

Do you just want a screenshot of my OpenBVE window? Or, do you want the finder windows with the files?

It's a glitch, click "Recently Used" first and then go back....

 

The Windows version is more stable.

 

Still not working...

 

Thanks for the help though.

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.

 

I wasn't upset, just kinda exasperated, lol

 

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?
