So since decided to not build express tracks on the current operating segment, does that mean the rest of SAS will be a two-track line?

Someone didn't look at the map before typing...

Champs-Élysées, IIRC. But she wasn't the type that'd know that. IIRC it used to be called Grand Boulevard and Concourse, so she stuck with it, like my maternal family in Detroit still calling Fenkell and McNichols Five and Six Mile Roads, respectively.

I come from real New Yorkers that still to this day say "Take the IRT/IND/BMT to..." God rest my grandmother, she called the Concourse "Grand Boulevard" til the day she died.

But they are red and green.

https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/06/27/nyregion/subway-train-derails-in-manhattan.html?login=email Two cars of a crowded subway train veered off the tracks on Tuesday morning and crashed into a wall in northern Manhattan, injuring dozens of people and causing panic as riders evacuated and made their way through an underground tunnel to the nearest station. Joe Lhota, the newly named leader of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, said the emergency brake had been activated, sending the train careening off the tracks, but he could not say why the brake had been deployed. He said all the injuries were minor. Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro said 34 people were being treated for minor injuries, including smoke inhalation, and 17 of them were taken to nearby hospitals. There were some 800 people in the tunnel after the accident and it took more than an hour for all of them to get out, he said. The accident, aboard a southbound A train between 135th Street and 125th Street, escalated concerns about the fragility of a subway system that is fraying under enormous demand and an aging infrastructure. Riders relayed harrowing accounts of the train being violently jolted and then being plunged into darkness. For several frightening minutes, as sparks flew and smoke filled the cars, passengers did not know what had happened. Keyvan Chamani, 28, was sitting by the door of his car watching YouTube videos on his phone when “everything went crazy.” His first thought was that there had been an explosion. But it soon became clear that it was an accident, he said. The door, only feet from where he sat, had been knocked off his car as the train crashed into a wall. “It definitely hit the wall because the door ripped out,” he said. “Smoke filled the entire car.” He said people were having trouble breathing and some passengers opened windows. But that caused more smoke to pour in, he said, so they closed the windows again. “I was getting panicked,” he said. There was an announcement of some sort, he said, but he could not make out what was being said. Benjamin Williams, writing on Twitter, said people were not let off the train until smoke appeared. “One lady began having a panic attack, and most people had to use their shirts to not breathe in the smoke,” he wrote. “Some people are crying.” The accident quickly rippled throughout the system, causing long delays on a number of lines, with some commuters reporting being stranded on subway cars underground for more than an hour. Officials said service had been suspended on a handful of lines; theycould not say when full service would be restored. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who controls the subway system, has vowed to take emergency action to improve the system after it became clear that its antiquated infrastructure was failing. The number of delays has soared this year and many commuters complain that they can no longer be sure they will be able to get around the city reliably. Mr. Lhota said that the smoke and fire reported by riders was the result of garbage on the tracks that was set on fire in the crash. He also said that it was not clear if the derailed train was an older-model train, where passengers can pull the emergency brake inside the cars, or a newer model, where riders cannot pull emergency brakes. For Mr. Lhota, who is only days into a job he has held once before, the derailment was an inauspicious beginning. He vowed to “rebuild confidence” in the system. For those on the A train on Tuesday morning, the delays and inconveniences that have become common on the subway turned much more frightening in a split second. Kirk James, 42, was heading from Washington Heights to New York University, where he is a professor, when he said the train seemed to “brake really hard.” Many people were thrown to the floor and he said that in those first few minutes, there was no announcement about what had gone wrong. People from another car began shouting that they saw and smelled smoke. “They were trying to break the glass to come into our car,” he said. They succeeded and huddled in that car for a brief period, afraid to open the door for fear that there might be a fire outside. “Folks were starting to have panic attacks,” he said. Still, he did not recall any announcement from the conductor. After nearly a half-hour, he said, he saw people leaving the cars and walking toward the 125th Street station, which was not far away. “I still don’t know what happened,” he said.

Probably to give folks that'd normally take to Wall Street, now you get a transfer to M15 to ride to Water/Wall St.

These receivers communicate with four Bluetooth devices that have been installed in the first and last cars of each train set running on the line. As the train enters and leaves a station, the system uses its arrival and departure time to estimate the time at which the train will reach the next stop in the line, and display the arrival times on the two LCD display screens that have been installed at each station."

Especially if it was an exclusive and she was at 50% or higher split with the broker. I got 6 to do before I can get to 50%. Shits harder than selling insurance (my previous career).

Nah, Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn - Fulton and Brighton Lines. This happened when I was going home to St George.

Since another boat was 5-10 minutes behind us, instead of making bus riders downline wait another two minutes for us to board, the dispatchers opted to double load the 7:45 buses. I dunno how these people keep their jobs.

No greater feeling after walking 8 miles looking for apartments to list at the start of one's real estate career than being the first person off a ferry that was 10 minutes late and watching all the buses leave as you get to the top of the St George bus ramps.

Folks be getting triggered over talking about train cars. ????????????

You mean this tunnel? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobble_Hill_Tunnel

Been here ~2 years - mostly lurking - and all I've seen about Montague is that something went wrong so trains aren't sent up it. Be nice to know what the issue is...

I thought got R32s because: a) 8-car consists are run on both; and b) the was picked because R32 AC units kept failing since the entire runs in tunnels, while the Jamaica Line is above ground for 80% of its journey - lessening the load on the units.

I don't see the resemblance... ???? https://postimg.org/image/m52twuqm3/

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that having all these NTTs looking exactly alike is boring and takes some of the elegance and aesthetic appeal of the subway away?

Instead of building the to terminate at Hanover Square, why not merge it with the Jamaica Line on Broad Street and use Montague to service 4th Av?

Was the shuttle signed or previously? Swear I remember seeing that in the 90s.

That can't be real.

What am I missing? That's where it goes.

I got on an local this AM at 59th Street where the doors to the third car didn't open. No one was in the car. I didn't think R46s had that capability.

Extended train?

And NYC and would still be claiming broke as NYCers pockets are fleeced.
