THey need to paint the Chambers ST station hideous

This and every station along Sea Beach.

Ooo... This one's gonna be tricky.

All of the subway workers (plus the ones for the Staten Island Railway) have gone on strike. How would De Balsio and Pendergast, and New York City respond to this?

- Travelers in Queens strongly urged to take LIRR due to overcrowding on buses.

- Increased LIRR service.

- Travelers in Bronx strongly urged to take MNR due to bus overcrowding.

- Increased MNR service.

- Also, increased Express bus service.

The will only run between Church Av and Nassau Av, so my guess would be that the wants the R160s because they have the "(G) to Nassau Av" program. The R68s will have to display "Special" on its rollsigns, and I guess the doesn't want to do that

Ah. Okay.

I don't see why?

36th Street needs to be closed off for emergency track work. Reroute.

Let's bring this thread back.

 

The rails at Av U on the Brighton are broken, and trains cannot safely pass. In addition, the switches at Kings Hwy are stuck so that all trains keep going on their current track.

- All trains run local and terminate at Kings Highway

- All trains run via 4th Avenue Express and Sea Beach, terminating at Brighton Beach.

- Shuttle buses between Kings Highway and Brighton Beach

The 160s go on the to prevent overheating since the 32s don't have AC.

Jamaica services both lines cars.

Probably a rerouted

Nope, they switch / equipment with equipment every summer.

I was told an R68/A might pop up on the during the PM Rush. Not sure how true it is. Don't take my word for it (meaning don't waste your time by standing at one of the platforms for 3 hours). If it's true it will be there all pick.

There has never been an R68 on the , Pitkin does not service them and unless it's for track testing, the only time you will probably see a R68 on the 8th Avenue line is if a is re-routed. But nevertheless, there is always a chance...

I see where you're coming from, but your ideas really don't benefit anyone. Switching the Q and R doesn't change anything but the southern destination and whether the Broadway line from Queens is either a local or express in Manhattan. With only five local stops (really four since trains to/from Queens stop at 49 St), it doesn't save much time.

 

Running the E and/or F trains local serves no purpose other than annoying customers who have had to deal with full local Queens Blvd service off and on for the past several months. 65 St on Queens Blvd is the only station closest to the Flushing Line (at 69 St-Fisk) All of the other stations are several long blocks away from the nearest corresponding Flushing station.

 

 

Switching topics, there's another update to the NTTs signs. Apparently Pelham has become a dirty word because PELHAM LCL is out on the Parkchester-bound 6 and has been replaced with BRONX EXPRESS on Pelham Bay Park-bound 6-diamond trains

Probably changed for easy navigation and recognition of the and

Wow..That's some collection you have there...

Thanks Big! My collection has grown since then with NJT stuff.

The Canal Street platform was closed today because of the re-route via the Man. Bridge but the subway entrance was open. Strange. All the other transfer passages were gated. The entrance at Broadway does not have a passageway to the Even I got confused for a second and went down. Feel bad for the couple that had to bring the stroller back up again.

Also saw an orange on an R68 rollsign on the at 9th Ave. Didn't take out my camera quick enough.
