  1. Does the MTA do "stepping back" at any subway terminals? The process where you have one operator waiting at the other end, so they can take the train straight out again. At the same time, the 'left behind' operator walks to the other end of the platform, to take the next train out, etc etc.

     

     

    Yes we do, but usually during rush hour. The best example of that is at 34th St-Hudson Yards on the (7)<7>
  2. That's right, I believe it's only 2 cars though 7691 and 7692. I believe it's coupled with 7731-7735, that might be wrong. And i think they're facing thte manhattan direction, but that could change the following weekends from running the city hall loop. Or this could be an entirely different set in general?

    7691-7695 is coupled with 7771-7775 in that order.
  3. SPECIAL G.O's for the next month:

    May 20-21: (4) in 2 sections: Woodlawn to 125/125 to Brooklyn Bridge. Trying to get a one seat ride to Brooklyn? Nope! (D) Trains are ending at Chambers.

     

    May 27-29: 96th Street bound (M)...again.

    June 3rd-4th: Right after the 100th Anniversary of the (4), Select (4) Trains turn at Burnside and the rest go express to BPB!

     

    Happy weekends soon!

  4. Today in my travels I had TWO skips, one on the (B) and one on the (L). In regards to the (B) run, it came in 59th on the express track and the (C) came on the local track at the same time, (B) train goes up the express track to 125th.... but its a slow ride, train even came to a complete stop at 103rd, when we got to 125th, seconds later that same (C) train at 59th pulls into 125th! The skip saved little to no time, might have saved some time if the train just went express on the local track.

     

     

    Had skips on back to back days, yesterday My (L) went express from Lorimer to Myrtle.

    What time was this? My game was at 72nd and my (B) came in on the express while a (C) train was arriving at 59th and the conductor said the next stop was 125 around 3:30. If any chance you were there at the time, did you see a bunch of kids with blue shirts. I was with them!
