  1. You said you were railfanning. You should've checked the forecast.
  2. Sh1t! So you're saying that you should stay at a stangers place or walk? Walking is even worse than driving!
  3. Why NICE? What about the Q22? The Q53? The Q52?
  4. The switch problems are most likely from the heavy snow.
  5. Not to mention how delayed the and already is!

      @Jdog14, not really. The R62A background kinda blacks out the filthiness, and they also allow for a lot smoother ride.

  7. Well, good luck. Have you tried car service or taxi?
  8. 1) No. 2) Very costly. You have a million dollars?
  9. s/b terminate at B'way Junction. n/b terminate at Dyckman St. n/b terminate at 3rd Av. n/b terminate at 149th St. suspended. terminate at Hunts Point. suspended. terminate at Prospect Park. How would the snow affect a small portion of the Jamaica line? no service between Hewes St and Essex St. shuttle suspended.
  10. Advise people to use Bowery , East Broadway/2nd Av , Canal St. Boom, done. Plus, you got M15 SBS which will help a lot.
  11. Bronx has been served. To simplify: No between Atlantic Av-Barclays Center and Bowling Green. Reduced service between Bowling Green and Brooklyn Bridge.
  12. So they decide to stand train riders? I really agree that it's unacceptable. The needs help from the . The could use some extra service anyway, so why not do it? MTA Service Status Service Change Posted: 01/26/2015 4:50PM Due to FDNY activity at Borough Hall, the following service changes are in effect: Northbound trains terminate at Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr. Southbound trains terminate at Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall or Bowling Green. trains are running on the line between Nevins St and 149 St-Grand Concourse in both directions. Allow additional travel time. This Brooklyn shuttle is useless.
  13. Nice ride on the Lex yesterday morning. Rode an R62A (Finally!). Saw the R62A . I was like, wait, an R62A? Why is the express? Oh! It's a ! Saw an R62A right behind the . Was about to take the R62A going home at Canal St, but didn't have connection to . Took the R62A . I thought it was supposed to be mostly R188s...
  14. Next: Due to construction, no trains between Queensboro Plaza and Times Square, and s/b trains run express from 74th St to Queensboro Plaza. Due to stalled train in 60th St tunnel and workers crowding area, via , to Times Square, no service between Lex-Queensboro Plaza. Water leakage forced the connection between Times Square and PABT closed. Due to construction, s/b terminate at Kings Highway, s/b terminate at Brighton Beach, and n/b express to Prospect Park. You are a tourist going from Parkside Av to 69th St. How would you do that, my little unlucky tourist? P.S. IT'S THE WEEKEND! Bonus: NYPD activity at 74th St-Broadway caused to bypass the station. +1 if completed successfully.
  15. CenSin put all that effort to explain to you why your services won't work, and you will just ignore it? The post has some really nice information!
  16. They are probably fixing the station so trains bypass it.
  17. Sorry just scribbled this right now. I'm not sure if this theory is true, but will limiting level junctions of the switches cut down maintenance costs?
  18. via 8th Av Local. suspended. suspended. local south of 81st St. extended to Euclid. s/b terminate at 96th St, n/b express to 137th St. split between Wakefield and Dyre Av, via suspended. extended to New Lots. suspended. Not the best solution, eh?
  19. Exactly. There's space west of the station, why can't it be put there? BTW would a local to express north of W4th St and an express to local west of Broadway-Lafayatte cut down maintenance costs? It would remove the level junction of the switch, thus, removing the need of maintaining it to make sure the level junction works properly.
  20. EZ-PZ! terminated at Atlantic Av-Barclays Center. terminate at 62nd St, s/b via 4th Av local. terminate at Kings Highway. via . rerouted over to 9th Av. terminate at Kings Highway.
