    What if a small meteorite size of a soccer strikes 30th Avenue Station in Astoria?

    Assuming permanent damage (a few weeks):

    Shuttle buses between Queensboro Plaza and Astoria-Ditmars, with a stop at Court Sq.

    (N) Trains run to 96th St, with some terminating at 59th St-Lex at peak times, local in Manhattan.

    (W) Trains suspended

    Next: 

    Weekday Shoulder period (3:00 PM)

    A water main break at 34 Street (6th Avenue line) is disrupting service on the (B)(D)(F)(M) Uptown Platform

    Shortly afterward, there is a track fire at 23 Street-8 Avenue on the Northbound Express track

    There is also a signal malfunction at Court Square.

    This is assuming the Broadway line is NOT affected...

    On 6th Ave: The downtown local track is used as the downtown track for ALL trains, and the downtown express track is used as the uptown express track for ALL trains (between W4 and 42nd)

    (B) Service reduced

    (D) Normal express uptown, local downtown

    (F) Normal local downtown, skips 14th and 23rd downtown

    (M) Trains routed to Chambers St, change at Essex for (F) 

    (A) Local from Canal to 34th, Downtown normal

    (E) Some trains begin/end at 34th St in order to alleviate congestion on the local tracks

    (G) (Assuming the switches north of 21st also have problems)  - Select trains terminate at Bedford-Nostrand or Nassau Av, with limited service to Court Sq

    Next: Shooter at NYC Penn Station forces lock down at NY Penn Station including subway station. Trains can't pass 34th St.

    Train service affected: (1)(2)(3)(A)(C)(E), LIRR, NJT and Amtrak.

    Reroute this trains.

    Bonus: Street closure on 7th and 8th Avs between 42nd and 28th St. Reroute BxM2, M5, M7, M20, M34, M34A, Q32, X22, X22A, X23, X24, X31, 

    (1) South Ferry - Chambers, 42nd (non-Rush Hour) or 96th (Rush Hour) to 242nd

    (2) Flatbush - 14th St (w/ some trains via Lex), 42nd - Wakefield via Express

    (3) New Lots Ave - 14th, 42nd - 148th via Local

    (A) via 6th Ave Express between W4th and 59th

    (C) Terminates at 14th St by using express tracks north of Canal St, then running express to 14th and switching back using the switches north of 23rd St, which should be in the cleared area (yeah, I know, extra)

    (E) via 6th Ave local between W4th and 5th Ave, reduced service w/ reduced service on the (M) between Essex and Queens as well.

    Shuttle buses serve non-serviced stations on 7th Ave, but (imo) not required on 8th Ave

    LIRR:

    -  All Hempstead, Far Rockaway, West Hempstead, Babylon, and Long Beach trains routed to Atlantic Terminal.  Use (B)(D)(N)(R)(Q) for service to Penn.

    - Port Washington, Ronkonkoma, Port Jefferson (non-diesel) trains rerouted to Hunterspoint Ave. Use (7) Hunterspoint Ave for Penn service.

    - Montauk, Oyster Bay, and Port Jefferson diesel trains to Long Island City. Use NYC Ferry service (cross-honored) or (7) trains at Vernon - Jackson for service to Manhattan.

    - Service reduced on all lines, CTZ train service suspended.

    NJT: 

    - Northeast Corridor, Raritan, and NJCL trains routed to Hoboken, ferry service is increased and cross-honored. Services reduced slightly.

    Amtrak:

    - All trains terminate at Secaucus Jct in the south, Northeast Corridor & Acela terminates at New Rochelle in the north while Adirondack, Empire, Lake Shore trains via MNR to GCT directly. MNR cross-honors Amtrak tickets to provide service between New Rochelle and Manhattan.

    - Bus service provided between Secaucus Jct. and GCT

    I don't have time right now to figure out the buses, sooorry. I might edit and do it later.

     

  4. Let me try an actual scenario...

    Breaking News!

    Due to a recent hurricane both the East New York and Jamaica Yards have suffered significant damage. Most of the subway cars are in good shape but there is no way to get them out due to fried third rails, track destruction, and structure damage. How do you reduce and change service in order to satisfy demand? (Lets say there were 10 trains stuck at ENY and 15 at Jamaica)

    Scenario 1:

    For this scenario, assume that Cortlandt St (1) has been rebuilt completely.

    Long term solutions

    (1) Runs between 242nd and Chambers.

    (A) All Times: Jay St - W4 via Rutgers, (F) . Trains run local between W4 and 34th.

    Weekdays: Runs express on Fulton, but service slightly reduced for (C) @ Rutgers 

    Weekends & Late Nights: No express service, runs local on Fulton

    From 34th St to Canal St, the Northbound express track is used as a Southbound track

    (C) All Times: Some/all trains run between Canal St and 168th St. Southbound (C) trains skip 23rd St and Spring St.

    Weekdays: 75% of trains run to Euclid Ave via local, 25% to Canal

    Weekends: Trains run only between Canal and 168th

    (F) Rush Hours: Some trains routed via the (G) to provide capacity for (C) trains to use Rutgers

    (E) 34th - Jamaica. Use (C) in lower Manhattan.

    High St, WTC, Chambers and Fulton are closed. No shuttle buses provided, as High St is really close to York (A)(F), and (2)(3) as replacement between Fulton and Chambers

    (R) Runs only in Manhattan, from Canal St to Forest Hills, in Brooklyn replaced by:

    (J) extended to Brooklyn via Montague & 4th Avenue all times, increased service

    (W) Suspended

    Scenario 2:

    (2) Wakefield - Wall St, Eastern Pkwy - Flatbush

    (3) 148th St - South Ferry, Eastern Pkwy - New Lots

    (4) Woodlawn - Borough Hall, use (3) in Brooklyn

    (5) Eastchester - Bowling Green all times (weekdays), use (2) in Brooklyn

    Shuttle buses provide service to Clark - Borough Hall - Hoyt - Nevins - Atlantic - Bergen - Grand Army Plaza - Eastern Pkwy

    On 12/29/2017 at 11:15 AM, Lawrence St said:

    A Coney Island Bound (D) train derails at 42nd St-Bryant Park, smashing into the support beams in the tunnel and eventually crashes into the wall on the northbound track. This causes structural instability on the entire 6th Avenue Line from 14th St to 57th St, and it will take at least a week to repair the damage.

    (B) Suspended

    (D) via 8th Ave from W4 to Columbus Circle

    (F) via 8th Ave

    (M) Suspended, use (E)

    Due to suspcious suitcase at 14th St passegeway between 6th & 7th Avs, (1)(2)(3)(F)(L)(M) and PATH can't go pass 14th St or 6th Av.

    (1) 1 train between South Ferry & Chambers, 96th - 241st

    (2) Flatbush - Chambers, 34th - Wakefield

    (3) New Lots - Chambers, 34th - 148th (local between 34th and 96th)

    What if...

    Let's say another hurricane struck NY. Fortunately, most tubes had been rebuilt and fortified by the time the hurricane struck. However, Rutgers, 60th, and 63rd have flooded. Canarsie will still be shut down at the same time. 63rd will be closed for 1 month, while the other tubes will have to be shut down for 8. Reroute away!

    During 63rd Closure:

    (F) Routed via (G), (G) service suspended. Select service to York St. during rush hours. Shuttle buses serve 21st-Queensbridge, East Broadway - 2nd Ave, York St - Hoyt-Schermerhorn

    (M) replaces (F) in Manhattan, runs all times, service increased

    (R) terminates at 59th - Lex or 57th St

    When 63rd Reopens:

    (F) Two sections: Coney Island - York St, 2nd Ave - Jamaica

    (G) Returns

    (M) Returns to normal service

    (N) Two sections: Coney Island - 59th Lex (w/ some trains to 96th if need be), Queensboro - Astoria Shuttle

    (R) via 53rd St

    (W) Suspended

    (L) Canarsie - Bedford, as planned

     

  8. 12 hours ago, BayParkwayW said:

    A massive section of tunnel collapses between Bowery and Essex St, and the Essex st station itself loses power, so the platforms are closed. No trains can go through the Nassau line, but the Christie cut is still open. The issue will take months to fix and investigate, as there are also water leaks between Bowery and Broad St.

    Has major impact on (J)(brownM)(Z) service.

    (J)(M)(Z) Service suspended between Broad St and Marcy Ave 

    (J) Service runs between Marcy and Jamaica

    (M) Runs in two sections: Myrtle (with some trains extended to Marcy during peak) and Metropolitan, and 2nd Avenue and Forest Hills (wow, it's the (V))!

    (Z) Suspended

    For service in Queens use (G) and (L) trains

    For service in Manhattan, use (6) and (F) trains

     

  9. What if 6th ave (B)(D)(F)(M) shutdown in the long terms in weekend, days and nights.

     

    Assuming this is from Rockefeller to Broadway-Lafayette:

     

    (B) Runs via the (D) line from Coney Island to Jay Street Metrotech (R)

    (D) Service reduced slightly, runs via the (F) line from Coney Island to Jay Street, then via 8th Ave to Columbus Circle, finally to Bedford Pk Blvd on normal routing

    (F) Runs ONLY from 57th St to Jamaica-179th

    :75px-NYCS-bull-trans-S6_svg: Special (F) Shuttle from Jay St - MetroTech to Essex St

    (M) Ends at Chambers St

     

    Shuttle buses are as follows: 

    - Route 1: Essex St, 2nd Ave, Broadway-Lafayette, W4, 14th St, 23rd St, 34th St, 42nd St, Rockefeller Center, 57th St (All times)

    - Route 2: Grand St, Broadway-Lafayette, W4, 14th St, 23rd St, 34th St, 42nd St, Rockefeller Center, 7th Ave, Columbus Circle (All times)

    - Route 3A: Essex St, Broadway-Lafayette, W4, 34th St, 42nd St, Rockefeller Center, 57th St (weekdays)

    - Route 3B: Grand St, Broadway-Lafayette, W4, 34th St, 42nd St, Rockefeller Center, 7th Ave, Columbus Circle (weekdays)

  10. The Queens Blvd Line is fully shut down all the way from 50 St to 179 St. Also an  (F)  train derailed at Lex-63 St. There are signal problems at WTC layup. There is a power outage at Dekalb Av. Also, a  (J) and  (M) collided with each other just east of Myrtle Av.  (A) trains are running local between Canal St and 59 St due to construction. A passenger got struck by a train at 59 St. There is no Culver Line service between Bergen St and Church Av due to strong winds at Smith-9 St. How would you reroute  (E)  (F)  (M)  (R) service? :rock:

    Try and figure out which 59 St I'm referring to....

     

    Assuming the signal problems halt service, and the 59th St is Lex-59th, and the QBL power outage doesn't affect the switches west of Northern Blvd;

     

    (B) Limited rush hour service between West 4th and Bedford Park Blvd only

     

    (E) Canal St - Northern Blvd via QBL Local

     

    (F) Coney Island - Church Ave, Bergen - 23rd St Ely Ave via 53rd St

    (G) Bergen - Court Sq

     

    (J) Two sections: Marcy Ave - Broad St, Broadway Jct - Jamaica

    (M) Between Metropolitan Ave and Myrtle Ave, and between 74th - Roosevelt and Jamaica-179th

    (S) Shuttle buses between Myrtle-Wyckoff and Marcy Ave following the (M), and between Myrtle Ave and Broadway Jct

     

    (N) via 2nd Ave to 96th St as terminus

    (Q) Between Coney Island and Prospect Park, with single tracked trains between Prospect Park and Atlantic Ave at 3-4 TPH

    (R) to 2nd Ave and between 74th - Roosevelt and Jamaica-Parsons

    (S) Shuttle train between Queensboro Plaza and Astoria

  11. My C/O said explicitly said there was a train BIE once on the stretch between 36 and Atlantic. Somebody posted the Conductor's Announcement Guidelines somewhere on here, and its just what it says to say.

     

    I guess it's to not make people too mad about the delay, to give the notion that the train will move soon. Usually when people think of a train with BIE, they think it will take a long time to get going.

  12. Haha, a R142 consist just rolled into Bowling Green, signed up as a (3) service. It was flagged to stop by an employee on the platform, who told the operator. Op realized it was an accident and changed it to (5), what it was supposed to be. I love these random slipups. Might post a video later.

  13. cause if i am not mistaken didn't they decide against building the cross platform transfer at grand street due not wanting to make chinatown mad cause it would rip up the streets?

     

    Isn't the platform for the SAS supposed to be behind one of the walls at Grand as a provision? Idk, somebody posted that some time ago

  14. Good point.  I suspect there would no service on either line for a long time.  

     

    Anyway, next:  

     

    Switches in the area between Queens Plaza and 36th Street on the QP line (specifically where the (F) joins the line from Queensbridge) have gone totally haywire, making it impossible to run any trains in that area (trains can use the Queens Plaza station itself, however, as long as the go back from there the other way as those switches are unaffected).  

     

    (7) runs at a higher capacity to cover (E)(F)(M)(R) riders

     

    (E) To Queens Plaza, (M) covers Jamaica

    (F) - To Queensbridge,

          - Shuttle from Roosevelt Ave - 179th St via QBE (only during weekdays, late nights via QBL)

    (M) Two services

           - Metropolitan Ave to Essex St

           - Jackson Hts/Roosevelt to Parsons/Archer via (E) and QBL (all times)

    (R) To 96th St, covered by (M) and (7) on QB

     

    Shuttle buses btwn Roosevelt Ave and Queens Plaza OR Queensbridge

  15. A southbound (J) train at Chambers Street crashes through the wall, ending up blocking the uptown (6) track and rendering the uptown platform at the station impassable. How do you re-route trains?

     

    (Stations and tracks affected:

     

    Uptown (6) track and downtown (J) track impassable.

    Uptown (4)(5)(6) platform unsafe for customers, and thus being skipped.)

     

    (J)(Z) to Chambers St.

     

    (4) Uptown trains skip Brooklyn Bridge

    (5) Uptown trains go local to 42nd - GC

    (6) Pelham Bay Park - 42nd - GC

  16. Next (autumn season):

     

    An old mentally unsound lady was collecting wet leaves (instead of bottles and cans) in the middle of the foggy night on the active Brighton Line. Lucky for her, massive train congestion prevented the usual train traffic from traversing the line for a few hours. By the time she gets up off the tracks and onto the Newkirk Plaza station, decides it’s all pointless and scatters all of her garbage bags full of wet leaves thoroughly. By AM rush normal train service should have resumed, but they discover that Newkirk Plaza is impassable due to leaves completely covering all of the tracks.

     

    lol

     

    (Q) Coney Island - Kings Highway, Prospect Park - 96th St

    (B) Prospect Park - Bedford Park Blvd

    Shuttle buses from Kings Highway to Prospect Park

    (4) via (2)? That’s unpossible!

     

    oops im tired

  17. Something a little less crazy:

     

    The Canal street complex from Broadway to Lafayette Street suffers a power outage due to a transformer explosion that will take at least a day to fix, knocking out service to and from that station on the Broadway, Lexington and Nassau Street Lines (the Manhattan Bridge is unaffected by this).  This will take at least a day to get back to normal.

     

    (4) Woodlawn - Grand Central

    (5) via  (2) to Crown Heights. If it is rush-hours, there is limited service from Brooklyn Bridge - Flatbush Ave

    (6) Pelham - Grand Central

    (S) Shuttle bus from Grand Central to Fulton St

     

    (N) Coney Island - Whitehall St, 34th St to Astoria making Broadway Lcl Stops

    (R) 95th St - Whitehall St, if Whitehall backed up, trains routed to Broad St (J)(Z)

    (Q) via 6th Avenue to 63rd St, then SAS

    (S) Shuttle bus from Whitehall St to 34th St

     

    (G) Trains replace (R) in Queens, transfer at Jay St-Metrotech

     

    (J)(Z) to Essex St, final stop

  18. An armed railfan terrorist organization (they are to rail infrastructure as eco-terrorism is to the environment) has occupied the Lexington Avenue tunnel at around 18 Street to do a quick and dirty job of restoring the station to its former glory with the help of black market construction contractors. Police are not sure if they can get rid of them since the terrorists have also threatened to destabilize the buildings above with bombs if they are interrupted or sabotaged. Experts fear that they may also target other such stations around the system and have decided to shut down those areas for quick sweeps.

     

    How is service rerouted in the short term (during the sweeps at 91 street, Worth Street, and possibly Myrtle Avenue)?

     

    How is service rerouted in the long term? 18 Street on the Lexington Avenue Line is occupied with armed terrorist guards patrolling the 14 Street–Union Square complex. Their footprint extends to 23 Street on the Lexington Avenue Line. Stations out of service and impassable include 14 Street–Union Square, 23 Street, 28 Street (due to proximity) and 33 Street (where agents are stationed awaiting an opportunity to strike).

     

    So what is actually closed? I know between 14th St and 33rd but 91st, Worth St. and Myrtle? Would like to do the scenario but it isn't clear.

  19. Willets Point is probably gonna be redeveloped to some extent sometime within the next decade, like Hunters Point & Williamsburg

    Maybe not huge glass towers, but it is right next to two stadiums a huge and historically significant park and Flushing Bay which is in the process of being cleaned out. It's also close to the (7) AND <7> which with CBTC will be amazing for riders there

     

    It would be a nice area.

  20. Next:

     

    A transformer explosion in Brooklyn has knocked out the Montague, Joralemon and Clark Street tunnels though the Cranberry and Rutgers Street tunnels are not affected (as well as none of their respective stations) by this nor is the Manhattan Bridge or the stations on the Manhattan side of said tunnels or the tracks immediately after said tunnels are not affected and can be used to turn trains.

     

    Stations affected in Brooklyn:

    Clark Street on the Broadway-7th Avenue Line and Court Street-Borough Hall on that and the Broadway and Lexington Avenue Lines (stations east of there are NOT affected, including Jay-Metrotech).  

     

    (4) Two sections: Woodlawn - Bowling Green, Atlantic Ave - New Lots Ave

    (5) Runs between Eastchester & Bowling Green, with some trains ending at Brooklyn Bridge if Bowling Green is packed. (2) replaces rush hour service in Brooklyn

    (6) Normal service

     

    (2) Two sections: Wakefield - Wall St, Atlantic Ave - Bklyn College

    (3) 148th St - Wall St, replaced (4) in Brooklyn

    (S) Shuttle bus service between Clark St and Atlantic Ave

     

    (R) All (R) trains via Bridge and DeKalb, use (W) for lower Manhattan

    (W) Service increased, runs on weekends as well (if applicable)

    (S) Shuttle bus service between Court St and Atlantic Ave

  21. Next?:

     

    Due to emergency Manhattan bridge repairs, only the Manhattan-bound side of the North Side of the Manhattan Bridge ( (B) and (D)) is open. Additionally because of scheduled Sandy repairs, the Rutgers Tubes are closed. This is a weekday.

     

    How can you provide adequate service?

  22. Next:

     

    Same type of issue as the last one, only this time the Broadway-7th Avenue Line (96th Street to Borough Hall), Broadway Line (5th Avenue to Whitehall Street, the connections railroad south of Lex/60th can be used) and 8th Avenue/CPW Line (north of Columbus Circle excluding the Concourse line between 145 and 205) has to undergo similar repairs all at once.  This will again be weeknights and weekends for a month.

     

    (1) 225th St - 96th St all times

    (2) 242nd St - 96th St

    (3) 148th and 145th St. closed, shuttle buses between those stations and 135th St and between New Lots and Borough Hall (Lex Platforms)

     

    (N) Coney Island - 34th St via 6th Ave Exp & 59th Lex to Astoria

    (Q) To 96th St via 6th Avenue Lcl

    (R) 95th St - Whitehall St

    Shuttle buses cover Whitehall St - 59th St (that's pretty long, some horrible jams I bet)

     

    (G) Extended to 71st - Continental to serve QBL Lcl

     

    (D) Coney Island - Columbus Circle, 145th St - 205th St

     

    (A) Rockaways/Ozone - Columbus Circle, 145th St - Inwood via local

    (C) Euclid Ave - 34th St/Penn, with some trains extended up to Columbus if there is room

    Shuttle buses cover CPW stations
