    SUBWAY - Random Thoughts Topic

    in New York City Subway

    Posted

    These R68's on Broadway remind me of the R62 (4) train in 05 - 08 when it was only like two sets on the line while the rest were 142/A's.

     

     

    So glad their back on Broadway, as a railfan I prefer if they all ran on the (N) rather than the (Q) though.

     

    In my opinion, I think that they belong on the Brighton Line. That is where they first started service, so I'd prefer them on the (Q). In the late 80's, they first appeared on the (D) and :Q: .

    R179 Discussion Thread

    NO not the FIND SYSTEM I'm talking about the interior signs that display "THE NEXT STOP IS".

    The interior display on the ceiling looks longer and sharper-edged than the R160's. That really stands out for some reason.

    Exactly! There is a quite obvious difference between the R160s and the R179s from the look of it.

    Subway - What If?

    in New York City Subway

    Posted · Edited by Tonyboy515

    Theres a derailment at Queensboro Plaza on the upper level. Reroute the (N) , (Q) , (7) , and <7> .

    (N) and (Q) trains both run to 57th Street or 42nd Street in Manhattan.

     

    (7) service operates in two sections: 34th St-Hudson Yards to Court Square, and Woodside-61st Street to Main Street. <7> operates between Woodside-61st Street and Main Street.

     

    Shuttle buses run between Court Square and 61st Street, and between Court Square and Ditmars Blvd

    Wow! There's just one thing that really bugs me... The (MTA) never mentioned anything about the (W) to/from 86th street on their announcements. I guess it's because there are few (W) trains there.

    Unplanned Subway Service Changes

    in New York City Subway

    Posted · Edited by Tonyboy515

    Not knowledgeable and risk-averse… I don’t see a bright, exciting future for these friends.

    Well, the conductor did announce the (B) running local to Prospect Park. My friends haven't used the subway for forever, since they all used to use the overcrowded B49. Anyway, this week I had to wait till 3 PM for the next (Q) local... It was 2:45 anyway, so I took the wait. The Brighton line has annoyed me for the past year.

    Subway - What If?

    in New York City Subway

    Time to bring this back to life after a long absence:

     

    It's the spring of 2019, the (L) tunnels are shut down for Sandy repair.   The (Court Square) 23rd-Ely (E)(M) station is unusable due to a derailment in the station (though no other stations on that line are affected).  At the same time, the former 45th Road (also now Court Square) (7) station is having trains skip it due to NYPD activity on the platform (the trains are able to pass through but not stop there). 

     

    What do you do?

     

    I would run the (E) via 6th Avenue from West 4th Street via the (F) on the 63rd St line and have the (A) run local,

    the (M) would go to 57th Street, and I would extend the (G) to its pre-2010 route to 71st Avenue, of course with full length trains. (R) service would remain uncanged, except for some reroutes to 96th Street.

    As for the (7), service would remain unchanged except for the skipping of Court Square.

    Unplanned Subway Service Changes

    I remember once, I was with some people at the YMCA and we had to get from 4th Avenue/9th Street to Whitehall Street to catch the SI Ferry. An (N) train came on the local track, and they refused to move when I told them that for our purposes, it would be making the same stops as the (R)....so I boarded and waved goodbye. ;)

    I've had the same happen to me, except for the fact that the (B) was the one who pulled up on the Manhattan bound local track on the Brighton Line. I told my friends they would make the same stops as the (Q), but they wouldn't get on. LOL.

    R179 Discussion Thread

    in New York City Subway

    Posted · Edited by Tonyboy515

    Yeah, it really isn't worth it lol. 

     

    Anyways... here's a link to the new BART cars running. The 179s could potentially have the same propulsion. (Not my video)

     

     

    Well, What if this happens to the R179?

    http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2016/04/22/new-bart-train-car-crashes-during-hayward-test-run/

    Note that both the R179 and the new BART cars are both by Bombardier. Good thing it crashed on a test track.

    I do play minecraft. I make transit lines.

    Nice! Me too. Did you see that thread I made about Minecraft subway-related builds? You can share it there too. I haven't posted anything there in a while. My Minecraft IGN is Tony515. Anyway, I just went off topic in an off topic thread, so here is what I listen to sometimes:

    I know this is a large order, so I don't mind this order to be done for a while.

     

     

     

    May I have a (T) FIND map as well:

     

    (T) To Kings

    Plaza via

    Tunnel

     

    Next Stop: Grand Street B D

    Jay St-Metrotech (A)(C)(F)<F> R

    DeKalb Avenue Q R

    Atlantic-Barclays (2)(3)(4)(5) B D N Q R LIRR

    7 Avenue Q

    Prospect Park Q

    Church Ave Q

    Newkirk Plaza Q

    Kings Highway Q

    Bedford Avenue

    Nostrand Avenue

    36 St-Marine Park

    Kings Plaza 2

    That's the order. Since it's large, take your time. I can't believe it's actually been 3​ months.
