I love Trains99

Iv'e gotten a look at a completed R179 set on here: http://web.mta.info/mta/news/books/pdf/160125_1345_CPOC.pdf

The only used R46 temporarily from the . I don't count R46 truly being on the

The stopped using R46 after May 1987. If you caught R46 on the that was probably a routed

The time schedule does not show the running local along 4 Av on the Weekends.

After 1994 the went back to express along 4 Av during all times except late nights. You probably talking about 1961 service. The rush hour local service was always provided by the up until 2010 On April 13, 1986 when the Manhattan Bridge project began on 6 Av side, did the have 3 terminals (Bay Ridge 95 St , 9 Av, and Bay Parkway?) And why did the MTA route the away from Brighton Line? The strip maps together looks bad. The local stops on the is missing. The lex line is on far left of the map while 7 Av is on far right. The map makes you look like your eyes are going all over the place.

Thanks for filling in I forgot all about the running along Brighton on weekdays. But still the was running along Brighton local at all times before 1973.

I rode R68a twice on the . I recommend catching it at Hoyt-Schermerhorn St between 7:40-7:45 pm towards Queens. Mondays-Fridays

from 1967-2001 Coney Island-Stillwell Ave served the West End line to Coney Island from 1967-2001. It run all times. Until Feb 22, 2004 the swapped route running as express to Brighton Beach during weekdays only. served Brighton to Coney Island also from 1967-2001 at all times. Feb 22, 2004 it swapped the former on West End. served the West End line from July 22, 2001 to Feb 22, 2004 when the Manhattan Bridge north tracks leading to the IND Sixth Avenue Line closed for reconstruction. had run full-time from Coney Island – Stillwell Avenue to Manhattan via the BMT West End Line and Manhattan Bridge north tracks onto the Sixth Avenue Line, but it had to be split when the north side tracks closed. was put in as part of previous 1st split in 1986-1988 6 Av closure of the Bridge. The was filled for the former service. The made all stops made except that didn't stop at Queensboro Plaza as last stop. 4 Av was always served by trains. was local along 4 Av from 1988-1994. always been around since 1960 but it had other names like QJ and QB up until 1985. From 1986-1988 the served it's current route 57 St(Broadway Express) (Brighton Express) to Brighton Beach while ran local to Coney Island. From 1988-2001 was shifted over to 6 Av and used this bullet while Broadway side of the Manhattan bridge closed. I hope this helps.

I know what you mean but what i was saying was that the MTA could of allowed the to run local with the to prevent traffic jam on express tracks where it shared with . I was wondering if was doing okay when it ran solo on local stops.

What was complicated about that? The could of switched to/from local tracks at West 4 St. get to 63 St line where the could of got to if it went local. Going to Brooklyn (Southbound) after 47-50 Sts, the passes beneath the to crossover. did diverge with the at 47-50 (Southbound) but it was on the far right outer track.

Why didn't the run local along 6 Av with the when it was in service? Before 2001, was ridership along local stops on 6 Av was balanced?

So Saturday October 24, 1992 was when turned into on public signs and was cut back from Euclid Av and Round robbin discontinued? And Monday October 26, 1992 was start of the full service to Far Rockaway and Rush Hour Rockaway Park service?

Thanks Lance. I appreciated

Why do the trains cross the Manhattan Bridge so slowly? Is it due to weakness of the bridge? I did my research on Wikipedia and I read that passing trains caused the structure on the bridge to tilt and sway. The wobble worsened as train cars became longer and heavier. Over years, when one train moved over the bridge one side would be 3 feet lower than the other side, severely damaging the structure.

I thought October 23, 1992 was the day the was cut from Rockaway Park. I was asking what year and day the sign was discontinued on public subway signs because wiki and other sources say it was 1993 or 1994. I thought the Rush Hour Rockaway Park and full time service into Far Rockaway went into effect in early 1993. Why did the MTA decide that would be turned into ?

Why Rockaway Park Shuttle isn't called the H train on the maps or public signs? Why MTA change the original Rockaway Park Shuttle sign and what exact year did MTA discontinue the H train not from post-sandy? I read that the H sign was discontinued in 1993 or 1994.

Why hasn't MNR extended the Electronic service to Poughkeepise, NY from Croton-Harmon?

If the South Side of the Manhattan Bridge closes for inspection like it did from 1988-2001 will the turn into the and if that would happen were will the terminate? Also would the go to 2 Av and take place temporarily? If the North Side of the Manhattan Bridge was to close for inspection like it did from 1986-1988 and 2001-2004, will the be replaced by as the Brighton Express? Would the be re-extended back to Coney Island via West End?

is better off running express during late nights in Manhattan. The is doing it's job along 6 Av during the night. Now if the ridership increases along 6 Av during late nights the should run local. I agree that the should go local during the late nights along QB. There's not a lot of ridership along that line during the night. needs help.

How did terminate at 121 St before 1988 extension to Jamaica Center? I read that ran singled tracked from 111 St to 121 St and they terminated only on the Manhattan bound track. Anyone living around 1985-1986 can you elaborate on this terminal set up at 121 St for me? Should the go down 2 Av instead of the ? I feel that going to 2 Av will kill the enthusiasm of riding . What do you think?

Why you obsessed with 76 St? Why don't you protest for the MTA to dig on 76 St and Pitkan Av

76 St station never existed. If that's the case they MTA should go on private property and dig straight down on 76 St and Pitkin Av to conclude their investigation.

GCT trolley loop was a loop used to terminate Trolley trains coming into Manhattan from LIC Queens using the Steinway Tunnel. You have all the answers on the link you put up.

In your opinion do you think Broadway or 6 Av (1988-2001) is better? and why?

I saw that arrangement already. Im looking for different views on it.
