5439 now at KB with local wrap

Any emergency moves due to this? 

 The incident. Didn’t want to post it because I sorta couldn’t tell from the lighting if it was a different model

Bus service is nerfed tonight. Probably because the protest

Damn. Things getting heated. A bunch of protestors blocking a bus now. Idk if it’s a MTA bus or a NYPD bus. 

The M191 seems to be suspended with no suspension notice on the website. It’s on the bus stops though.

I would probably predict that the Elevator Shuttle for the A train at 181st St is also suspended for the same reason

There are delays and multiple impacts to train service while we investigate why a train's brakes were activated at Parkchester. 

There is no train service in either direction north of Hunts Point Av while we investigate why a train's brakes were activated at Parkchester. 

Southbound trains are running on the local track from Hunts Point Av to 3 Av-138 St.  

Some  trains are running on the local track in both directions between 125 St and Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall. 

Actually, it was this, not the train’s brakes being triggered at Parkchester 

There’s a derailment on the 6 line southbound around Parkchester. IIRC there’s no 6 trains after Hunts Pt Ave, and a rescue train is there now, as per this, via E’mari Davis:

On a level, I’m amazed at how not fireproof these cars are not. Didn’t one of the bench seats melt away?

Multiple. Look at page 1/2 of thread

That'll actually work if you convert 6348 to an end car

I meant like there’s still one set unscathed, so just plop in a B car

Something similar to the R188s?

Yeah. But this would be for the GCT shuttle

These cars (6346-6350) are toast. Add at least five more cars to the R262 order.

Theoretically they can cancel a six car set and use the five car set and one orphaned B car now

Reportedly someone saw a R46  at DeKalb (CDC said it was a B)

Not too sure if 8017 is still around, but apparently there was a fire that happened to it because it dragged a mattress on the Verrazano Bridge. Can someone check if it’s in scrap?https://imgur.com/a/EdStBRB

They should have painted those doors blue and added the strip. Would have been a major throwback especially with the giant front route letter. But oh well what’s done is done. 

They actually could’ve theoretically done that with the R42-R40M pair lying around, but idk

Where’s the R42 A rn?

Hmmm. There’s now 5 M191s in circulation and one is aXD40

Changes are coming to the  and  lines very soon, may even be tomorrow. 

The R32s are on very borrowed time.

A friend of mine can corroborate on this. A NIS R46 was on the C. It is sorta interesting that the MTA is reverting back on the 600 ft (8*75) train ban on the C.

Is there any logical reason for the MTA to avoid running buses up/down Fairview Ave? I know that it has been done before if Broadway is blocked off between anywhere from 181 to 190, but the MTA Areally doesn’t want to do this at all. What gives for this?

If the rest are going to 207th St I honestly hope they retire then have them run on the or

There was a clip of a R42 consist bypassing Church on the F/G going to Coney yard though

Maybe some work at 174th Street Yard?

Definitely a typo

So there’s a shuttle bus that runs sometimes and will run for the duration of the 181st St  elevator shutdown that is usually covered by a MCH bus, but then is supplemented by one or two MV buses. So how does the runs work with the buses—does the drivers cycle out and in from the M4 runs (particularly for the runs on the MCH bus), and do buses that run on the M4/98 make a run after their M4/98 run on the elevator shuttle?

from the rumors i heard they don't want them at CI plus it would make more sense for the to loose some R46's rather than to loose the R32's since CI has to maintain another car type. If it were up to me 50 R32's and 50 R42's would go to CI for the , 172 r32's would remain at 207th for   and service

It’s more of because of how Montague doesn’t have enough clearance for the R32s. Plus, if the R32s were to be sent to CI, they would be restricted to the G as the other lines served are either potentially rerouted via Montague or running with CBTC on.

Someone actually saw a R46 W in service. Note that a rollsign is set to N—this is a run starting at 86 https://i.imgur.com/vGKh7SY.jpg https://i.imgur.com/zXAITP8.jpg https://i.imgur.com/htd9zfP.jpg https://i.imgur.com/CdYtHHX.jpg
