Thats exactly the same order I have except I have the R40Ms tied with the R42s. It will be sad to see the R32s and R42s go.

All stops in Queens or all stops past Forest Hills?

So what's the problem of sending those layups to the layup tracks past 179 St? This would allow these trains to be express.

So let me get in straight. Those Trains are supposed to be express but there's a layup on the express tracks. Why don't they put the layups in the layup yard past 179 St. So do they sometimes actually make it run express? Is this what you meant? "Each level has one side platform to the west of two tracks. The two express tracks that bypass this station are used by the A train during daytime hours and the D at all times." "North of this station, the northbound express track descends to allow the northbound local to cross over it, before rising up at 110th Street, where the line becomes the standard four tracks side-by-side with the local tracks on the side and express tracks in the center. Also, the IRT Lenox Avenue Line passes underneath this station at the extreme north end and is not visible from the platforms."

That's not true. The trains to 179 run express, also between Kew Gardens and Jamaica 179 St I looked inside the train at the FIND display and it said the next stop was Parsons Blvd.

Today as I got off an train on the express track at Kew Gardens across the platform there was a Jamaica 179 St bound Rush Hour express. The time was 6:25 PM. I was wondering why it was on the local track? Perhaps for transfers? I didn't have something to take a picture of it. Before this I haven't seen one before. Thoughts?

With a reactivated , they should short turn more trains at Whitehall St. Do you think they should reactivate the <R> service to Chambers? How about reconnecting the Nassau tracks to the Manhattan Bridge with a new express service over the Sea Beach Line should it be renovated.

Thanks!

There is a mistake in this 1980s picture at Fulton St. The sign claims that the went to Dyre Av while it was really the .

What's the point of switching the and (5)'s northern terminals. It doesn't make a difference.

Too soon 6:17 PM n/b , & train service is delayed due to police investigation at 34 St. Allow additional travel time. 5:12 PM n/b trains are running on the line from Stillwell Av to 36 St (Bklyn), due to switch problems at Stillwell Av. Allow additional travel time. These have since been resolved. 6:07 PM train service has resumed with residual delays. 6:24 PM , & train service has resumed with residual delays. These were by e-mail.

Cut back to Times Square at all times via South Ferry loop to Bowling Green where pasengers can transfer to the , and . to Utica Av to New Lots Av at all times to Flatbush Av at all times Special shuttle between Hoyt St and Utica Av Astoria to 57 St Forest Hills via 6 Av and 53 St to Coney Island Extended to Coney Island via Sea Beach, 4 Av express City Hall – 95 St

But the won't come until phase 3 and who knows when that will come.

Recently at Kew Gardens on weekends they have been having R46 layups instead of R160 Layups. Does anyone know why they switched it. I still remember the R32 Layups. (The R32s are my favorite subway cars.)

Here are some old mixed class pictures courtesy of nycsubway.org Coupled to R27/R30 cars

On friday my train had a train strip map. They should really make the R142s have FIND displays.

this shows what some of ther type contracts that aren't for trains http://www.thejoekorner.com/cars/index.html

but would you be allowed to go because I would think it's worth the wait

Can you stay on trains that end at Bowling Green to see the loop like you can on the ? Since people want a extension to NJ and a line to Staten Island. How about extending the ton hoboken then going to Staten Island with an new wye to the Western North Shore and new west shore line to Tottenvile and a branch to St. George. Please tell your thoughts on this.

Can't wait to ride them. Do you know what the strip maps look like?

Do you guys think that the should extend the to Jamaica 179 St with more service. The should also male More trips to Whitehall St and possibly to the lower level of City Hall which they should renovate. I also think the should make a third track on the New Lots Line because there is room for one. THe 4 could run express to New Lots.

What differences will there be between the R160s and the R179s?

Which R142As have been converted into R188s? When will they start to be in service on the 7 line? Thanks

Thanks for the good points, I forgot to mention that this would happen once the new South Ferr is renovated and the 6 stub local tracks after Brooklyn Bridge get xtended. Thanks again!
