    A meme I made of one of the MTA's post-Sandy Flickr pics...

    Did anyone see the story in the news about the killer nanny on the Upper West Side? Scary sh*t.

    This one cracked me up

    Don't know if anyone's posted this already, but this is really cool:

    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.

    The Chicago 'L' Purple Line Express run is another 4-tracked line, but you're right, we've assumed express tracks too easily.
  7. brooklynunderground
    What I don't get is, if the whole line is down, why they said "please expect delays in train service at this time." Isn't there NO train service at this time?

    Hey, does anyone know why uptown trains were running local from 42nd to 59th today (at around noon)? Thanks
  9. brooklynunderground
    Put it on the , it'd be an improvement.

    Exactly. In my opinion, R46's are even some of the better cars of the current MTA fleet. I'm sure 30 years in the future, there will be complaints about R160s. But the MTA can't operate rolling stock based on who will complain.

    It was borrowed from the fleet. http://www.nyctransitforums.com/forums/topic/36446-f-to-lefferts-blvd-go/

    I can see that happening, after all, they paid $4 million for a 20 year lease on the naming rights to Atlantic Avenue.

    Speaking of extra trains, does anyone think they might send extra trains on game days when Barclays Center opens?
  14. brooklynunderground
    Agreed. If I had to pick one of the stops to close down, it'd be a much less used station like Franklin or Canal.

    Another question: how come the doesn't shorten platforms on the already to at least 6- car length? I see so many out-of-towers running when the trains zooms right by them or stops short. Is it because of the occasional F reroute, or does the think that Williamsburg, Greenpoint, etc.'s population will one day call for a lengthening?
  16. brooklynunderground
    Ohhh... makes sense. I do hate trains terminating on two different platforms, such as the Q at 57th on weekends.
  17. brooklynunderground
    YES... especially because despite being on a main branch in Manhattan, it doesn't share tracks with anybody, even better for CTBC. While we're at it, CTBC on the please. Haha

    Quick question-- this may be a stupid one, but how come the M and R don't go two stops further and terminate at the next express-configured station, Kew Gardens, as opposed to their current terminal, Forest Hills- 71st Ave?
  19. brooklynunderground
    I say a return of the last W before it was discontinued (Astoria Local/Broadway Local), except it would be continued through the Monyague Street Tunnel after Whitehall with the R to Jay Street Metrotech. The MTA would build a short connector tunnel at Jay Street between the BMT and IND tracks, and the W serves as the Culver Express to Church Avenue, with a peak-direction express extension to Kings Highway. Like the last W, this would be a weekday-only route.
