Snowblock

You have pics?

I wouldn't share them. It's just as bad as posting graffiti photos, it just encourages vandals to keep doing it....

Ok so which one of you little vandals broke into a snowbird this weekend and changed an entire train's rollsigns to the ?

Do me a favor and name all the OOS switches out there.

 

Atlantic, 57th-7th Av...

You give them an inch, they ask for a mile.

Back to my cave.....

They tend to not use the switches between the local and express tracks between DeKalb and Pacific Atlantic-Barclays for whatever reason.

That switch is OOS for the foreseeable future. Anything that comes into Dekalb S/B must run local on 4th Ave.

 

 

Due to train car maintenance at Inwood-207 St, Bedford Pk Blvd, Wakefield-241 St and Woodlawn, 

, ,  and trains are running with delays in both directions.

Allow additional travel time.

Friday Night + Halloween + Ebola Paranoia = insufficient clean trains after a hard night of partying on the subway. There were R160's running in unexpected places today to help cover gaps.

Could you please not repost my stuff on subchat? I want nothing to do with that site. Hell, I barely want anything to do with THIS site!

This is what happens when you try to send B-Div equipment into an A-Div station.......

Service Change  Posted: 07/07/2014 12:05PM 
 

Due to a ongoing signal problem at New Lots Av:

Some southbound  train service terminate at Utica Av.

Some southbound  train service terminate at Pennsylvania Av.

In both directions  and  train service running with delays.

Awesome news! I might have to come out and check this out. Are there prizes if I do a whole trip without any overruns?

The and share fleets......

Yeah it ended at 6pm

Nope no supplement. My first half was fine (we actually got to Stillwell EARLY!) but things are getting backed up going north....

They layup either north or south of 57-7

 

 

Snowblock, I know you are busy, but if you have a chance and if you are able to may you scan a few pages of the book of codes. Thanks.

I don't put company documents online. If you get hired here, you can download it from TENS.

@MTA Dude yeah depending on the needs of the schedule, Idk if snowblock can confirm this but the Q trains that short turn at 57-7 ave are usually put in as N's because thats what it looks like

No, those are actually trains with crews. A couple of them short turn at 57-7 during rush hour, and they run express in Manhattan but they're still Sea Beach in Brooklyn.

Jamaica Yard is gonna be 100% NTT. They won't be taking in any more R46's because that yard needs to be ready for CBTC implementation. If anything, CONEY ISLAND (and therefore the ) might get some 46's once the swapping happens.

There's a GO on Sunday only with all 4th Ave trains running local.

too bad r68 cant go to far rockaway. it still got time on the clock to go back to the yard.

It's because the gap crew which is assigned to the layup has their lunch at Lefferts so they won't be able to take it from Far Rock. And they need to be on that 68 going north so it can IMMEDIATELY head to Concourse from 207.

Okay... but how do you explain the on 6th Avenue Express?

It only bypasses TWO STOPS and is between two of the city's busiest stations. So station timers will be in effect if you have something in front of you.

The N/B platform at 34/6 gives you a TON of space for photographing the front of uptown trains.

What is the point of a clearance test with 188s on the Pelham line when 142As (which is basically the same thing) have been running in service on that route everyday just fine for the past 14-15 years?

BASICALLY the same thing is not the same thing.

Because of a new IndyCar race in Downtown New York, all streets are closed south of Chambers Street, and all stations too. 

Lines affected. From Thursday morning to Sunday night

Easy, just bypass those stations without stopping. Chambers would be the last revenue stop on the  and and trains would run lite through the loop while turn on the platform or use the relay.. You gotta question what kind of mayor would let an event like this happen at the time of day that the is still running.

We have a peculiar GO coming up in 2 weeks:

All times, beginning 11:45 PM Fri, Jul 11 until 5 AM Mon, Jul 21, all southbound and trains will bypass 182 St.

We This is gonna be 24/7, which also means there won't be any northbound express service in the PMs.
 

Just gonna say, the foam will be real if they put 2 5 car sets together and run it on the .... (only if it's possible I have no clue)

​Yeah this is why they ran it from 2200-0200, when most of you foamers are supposed to be home and asleep.

Also bear in mind that there's nothing OFFICIAL about Joe Korner. He updates that site based on information sent to him, not official MTA documents.

Oh I burned some customers tonight on the 4 Av. Made a connection with the at Pacific, and then tk 3 gets hit with a track circuit so we crawl the whole way to 36 St. That first is long gone and we actually have a second pass us! And there were enough people who got off my train at 36 and then went across the platform to wait that I just had to shake my head.....

Am proud to say that I still haven't ridden an R188 in service!
 

They're doing clearance tests on the Pelham line tonight. Gonna run a R188 from Pelham to City Hall and back. Should be on the road right now.
