  1. My idea is to basically extend both the (7) and the (L) to 23rd Street. Since that part of Manhattan is expected to be a popular area in the next 5-10 years, I think that they should have at least some kind of subway service. The station would basically be like Jamaica Center, with the (7) on top and the (L) on bottom. Also, the (L) would have a underground storage yard between 16th and 20th Streets, which the (L) needs severely if they ever wanna add more service.

  2. It seems wifi is now available in a lot of stations.only 3 or 4 stations don't have in Manhattan.Plus 20 or 30 in Brooklyn.

    For some weird reason, all the stations along 34th Street (Hudson Yards, Herald Square, and Penn Station) don't have wifi. I would think at least Hudson Yards would have had it by now.

  3. Yes and even Montague still has it's ups and downs. Eastern Divison equipment (except for the 143's and 160's) are still banned from there due to clearance issue's which is why we don't have the (J) running to Prospect Park anymore.

    That's actually not the main reason why the (J) to Prospect Park anymore but you're point is still valid.

  4. The Bombardier 142s were bought in by rail, bought by Freight from Upstate NY down to the Linden Yard area, NYCT diesel tows them up the ramp onto the Livonia Line and then towed to E180th for prepping.

     

    If they used the same method for 179s they would have to be towed over the (L) line to Broadway Junction then to West 4th, reverse there to be towed to Pikin for prep. Bringing the cars in at 207th the tow is a straight shot down to Pikin.

     

     

    I really wanted them be delivered by rail though  :(  would have been cool seeing subway cars on the Bay Ridge Branch.

    They can't do that because Linden Yard is A division only.
