  1. I became interested in transit and how subways and train systems worked at an early age. I'm more of an Avgeek, but the railfan is still in me.
  2. Greetings everyone, I haven't been active on this forum for quite some time now. With exception of a few posts I made two days ago, I haven't posted anything in almost four years. I had moved from New York to Atlanta, and recently I've been feeling nostalgic for my old home town. I'm glad to be back!
  3. Up next: Power outage effects all tracks on Manhattan bridge, uptown train stalls at Prince St.
  4. I think a line connecting to LGA via the wouldn't be a bad idea.
  5. The A train is always crowed...

  9. A power plant. The thing with the a secret nuclear reactor in one of the abandoned subway stations like worth street is just a joke. Come on man why did you click that red down arrow for? I will click the green arrow on your reply just to show that i have compassion.
  10. Just asking How much is the MTA's power bill? those trains need 600 volts to run so i am expecting there bill to be big. Second question. Where does all that power come from? (a secret nuclear reactor in one of the abandoned subway stations like worth street )
  11. How did the New york city subway looked like on October 27,1904 opening day?
  12. Looks like safety is worth compromising. Something is being done to help the overcrowding the and trains it's called the Second Avenue subway, but there is no measures to help the overcrowding for the and yet. The MTA keeps say they cear about passenger safety. I am sure the MTA willing to improve the safe oparation of the subway.
  13. A Manhattan bound derail in the Clark street tunnel. The uptown tube is closed. and trains service in Brooklyn is suspend indefenitly until the recharge of the derailed is removed from the tunnel. As an alternitive to and from Manhattan take the from Clark street-14th street.
  14. Safety is being compromised on the . Overcrowded trains on any subway line like the is a bad thing and if nothing is done about it. It can lead to a derailment because the tracks are stressed due to the extra weight being put on them. And the sad part is our elected officials don't cear about the safety on the ny subway they have not increased funding to the in a very long time. If our elected officials rely did cear about safety on the ny subway they would have increased funding to the by now. Just tring to get everyone aware of this.
  15. What is the name of an airport that was named after a famus New York mayor?
  16. Clark street tunnel flooded. The tunnel will be clossed for a year. and service is suspended in brooklyn for 12 months. The Wakefield 241 street-Chambers street The Harlem 148 street- 14th street A new one track Chambers street-Wall street Late nights and weekends all trains will run local in Brooklyn. Late nights and weekends no service use trains instead. will run to Flatbush ave-Brooklyn Collage at all times until service is restored in Brooklyn. A new local Crown Hights Utica ave-Franklin ave The Express Woodlawn-Newlots ave The Local Dyre avenue-Flatbush ave Brooklyn Collage The Express (will be extended to Crown Hights Utica ave) Pelham bay park-Crown Hights Utica ave
  17. The has so many trains that there is like a train every minute. The train needs more trains. The was just unnecessary. The are different to the and that's why there is still skip-stop-service on the to this day.
  18. It's going to take the 1,000 years to build a new subway line for the and an 8 express train. It's best to put a Select Bus Service to hopefully help the with all the crowding.
  19. I know this proposal will get a lot of heat. The getting it's own subway line sounds interesting... maybe just maybe this new subway line running side by side with the could solve the crowding problem... and the tunnel may have 4 tracks opening the possibility of true express.. an 8 train.... This "8 train" can be express and the can be local or the other way around........ The 8 and the won't go to the Bronx instead go to LGA airport. it may cross under 96 street or 116 street columbia university and go to LGA airport. I know this sounds far fetched i know this probably won't happen, but that's what said back in 1900 when the first subway was being built. ​Instead of giving up they built it. October 27, 1904 the first subway opened. It will take a lot money and a lot of time ​but it can happen... Like they say "where there's a will there's a way"
