Just saw a truck with R179 A car 3014 go by me on I-80 here in New Jersey.

Delays Posted: 07/13/2016 1:28PM Due to a power outage, expect extensive delays on all train lines. Allow additional travel time. Power outage at RCC. http://abc7ny.com/traffic/all-subway-lines-experiencing-delays-across-nyc-due-to-power-issue/1425312/

Or the Rockaways.

The motors would be different. The R160s use Alstom/Siemens motors. The R179s will use Bombardier motors presumably like the ones on the R142A/R143/R188.

So the train I was on stopped at 23rd and the C/R announced there was an incident at 28th and there was a power off condition. So, I took an über home and I saw a lot of FDNY and NYPD activity at 28th. Kinda curious to what happened.

It's for tonight's A.L. Wild Card game at Yankee Stadium. It's leaving Grand Central at around 7 tonight.

Well now... Suspended Posted: 10/01/2015 6:46PM Due to signal problems along the line, service has been suspended between 34 St-Hudson Yds and Flushing-Main St in both directions. Take the and trains instead. LIRR will cross honor at the following stations: 34 St-Penn Station, Hunters Point Av, 61 St-Woodside, Flushing-Main St, Kew Gardens-Union Tpke, and Jamaica Center-Parsons/Archer.

How does an R142A not fit through the tunnels while an R62A can fit? Aren't both cars the same dimensions?

I do the same, but I'll try position myself at the very door that'll stop right in front of the stairs. That'll reduce walking time and I can get in front of the crowd going up the stairs. Then, I'll have a chance to make my bus connection.

That means it ain't gonna happen.

I also hear split is a, b, and c #cars a piece on some trains. Wondering what that means

If the northbound platform is out for an extended period time: Rockaway branch terminates at Howard Beach. Additional trains sent to Lefferts if necessary. Two branches: One single track shuttle on southbound tracks from Howard Beach to Rockaway Park. Another shuttle operates between Beach 90th and Far Rockaway on opposite track.

If that ever happens, does 53rd St really need 2 express services? I've seen crushloaded s as usual, but the does get a few standees be the time it gets to Lex during the evening rush.

QBL Express is a complete mess right now. Took me at least 20 minutes to get from Queens Plaza to Roosevelt Ave.

Are all runs on the operated by ATO? Some trains I get on feel like they are being manually operated especially when stopping, but I never get the chance to see up front if it's true.

Two sections: Times Square to Woodside, 82 St to Main St. Note that trains may have to wrong rail in both sections. WTC to Queens Plaza Two sections: Coney Island to 21 St, Forest hills to Jamaica-179. Select trains run to Jamaica Center. Middle Village to either 21 St, 57 St/6 Av, or Chambers St. Dependent on ridership. To 57 St/7 Av. Shuttles operate on both local tracks from Queens Plaza to 65 St and Forest Hills to Elmhurst Av Shuttle buses provided. NYCT and MTA buses reroutes accordingly. LIRR Honors fares from Penn Station to Jamaica. Expect Delays on all affected services.

That's a complicated move in itself, but I'm guessing by using the track maps they bring the trains down to 57th, reverse, go up to Lex.-63rd, cross over to the tracks, bring it south to 47-50th, reverse, then via the and the to 207th St Yard, use the connection to the , then south to the loops to bring it back on Lex.

The letters H, I, K, O, P, U, V, W, X, and Y are theoretically available if absolutely necessary. But, I know the MTA prefers not to use them.

Yeah, saw a few Manhattan bound trains sent express before we started moving again. It was interesting to see a whole line of trains bunched up.

train I'm on right now is being held at 82nd St for a good 15 minutes. C/R said something about a police investigation at 74th.

Wasn't there that tunnel down in Bay Ridge that was started but never finished? It would make sense to finish it and connect the to Staten Island that way. But that's probably not going to happen in my lifetime.

I'm guessing that Kawasaki has one more train of brand new R188's to deliver.

I thought about keeping the local but I forgot that there would be switching delays prince with a local and a express. Whoops...

I mentioned this in another post, would running the express in Manhattan and local in Brooklyn do any good? The would be helped out a little bit and those riders have another express option.

How much more would it cost the MTA to have 260 cars in a 5 set and 40 in a 4 set for the R42's? That's still 300 cars.
