  1. Deal, however there could be suggestions to turn that into an underground park similar to the low line Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk
  2. This morning, I had a weird commute to Manhattan, first trains were running to Jamaica 179 Street yet people still got off at Forest Hills. Then at Forest Hills, I got on an train that went via 53 St/8 Av. Once I got off at 42 Street, the was on the express track. I was like "What the heck is going on, is this what I get for not checking the weekender???" But I gotta say, this was a very interesting service change, but Manhattan bound trains should run to 63 Street since they're running express this weekend Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk The this weekend is the Queens Blvd/59 Street/Broadway/Manhattan Bridge/4 Avenue Express in the Bay Ridge direction yet local on the Jamaica Bound direction Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk
  3. But then if you were to make use of the Abandoned Bowery and Canal Sts, what would they be used for (and please don't say employee purposes) Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk
  4. Ummm... ok Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk So leave the line as is and just rehabilitate Chambers Street Station???? Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk
  5. I want to look for a solution to make service more popular on the Nassau Street subway, and If R32's and R42's are banned from Montague then how can service be improved or more attractive in Nassau Street cause it has very low ridership? ??? Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk And, might as well look for a way to rebuild the Dekalb Avenue Junction Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk
  6. That's the idea, just increase the capacity in both of them, I see a potential where the and the would Separate Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk
  7. Why is the EIS still in effect??? Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk
  8. I might as well have the terminate at Chambers and Have the (if it still exists at this time) run down to Broad St or further Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk
  9. A. Cause some Queens Blvd riders might work at Greenpoint or Williamsburg B. Cause I can Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk
  10. Well, this is how I see how Queens Boulevard Should be. train stays as is but extended to Larueton using the LIRR ROW Gains that bit of extra bit of express service past Forest Hills in the weekdays will terminate at Roosevelt Avenue or Jamaica 179 St to pick up riders who want to go to Williamsburg or Greenpoint from Queens (this would be good for the train shutdown could be a revived as either an 8 Av, 6 Av, or 2 Av service using the rockaway branch could use the bypass at 63 St and run local to 179 St and should swap for better local/express service (just get through the NIMBY's first) the World fair line could be rebuilt for better service to LGA but I don't see this happening anytime soon. If you're not okay with that then we could rearrange the trains at Queens plaza so that trains could terminate there instead
  11. Why bother completing the whole thing when you could just integregate it to existing lines
  12. The Additional R160-A 1 sets will just increase capacity or sit out while other trains operate, what do you think I'm supposed to do, put them on the ??? Cause that'll be weird Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk
  13. Anyways, back to the R211's, They should be 5 car sets and 5 car sets only. R179's will currently be on the and lines. Once R211's come in and replace ALL R32's and R42's and some R46's, all R179 trains can go on the and and the can have someone R211's. The rest of the R211's can go on the Rockaway and (SIR), if any extra R211's come in then ....... They could go on the or replace the R68 on the or the in Franklin Avenue Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk
  14. What's the point of completing the Second Avenue Subway??? The only thing we need from this line is A third storage track at phase 2, express tracks at phase 3 and a better integration with the existing system. If the current SAS stays the way it is, it's going to be the most expensive mistake the city has ever made Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk Anyways, I think the R211 should only be assigned to the and trains, and maybe the Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk
  15. As of right now no, the R179's are not CBTC ready Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk
  16. Kinda, but not exactly like vanshnookenraggen Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk
  17. What if the Chrystie Street connection was rebuilt to make room for the Second Avenue subway Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk
  18. Yeah, but I want to make the and 2 seperate lines and there are multiple ways you can do that
  19. The whole point of upgrading the R32's is to accomindate current needs for the city before the R211's come in. As for creating a bottleneck, a simple solution is to build a connection from Montague Street and connect it to the transit museum so that trains can run local to Euclid Avenue due to lack of demand from south Brooklyn, allowing trains to run express to Lefferts or Rockaway Park. Also, if sending the to rockaway Park is wayyy to long, then howcome this isn't a problem on the line??? Doing this may potentially replace the huttle
  20. I don't know why but I feel as if the line would be the best candidate for a second 4 Avenue Local Service
  21. The only fast and effective plan to put Court St (NY Transit Museum) into normal train service is to build a connection from Montague Street where the over night and rush hour trains run underneath to Court Street where the museum is and extend trains to Euclid Avenue due to lack of demand from south Brooklyn. This expansion will make service on the and flexible enough so that trains could run express to Lefferts Boulevard and trains could run a flexible service to Far Rockaway. This service change would be a boon to everyone. As for the Transit Museum, there are a few good spots to relocate it such as the 9 Avenue lower level or using one of the South 4 Street provisions (I think that Utica Avenue on the and lines is a good place.
  22. Phase 2 is delayed to to lack of funds, and if you want it built correctly, then heres what you do.... A middle non-revenue track should be built between 106 Street and 116 Street stations where they will have side platforms up until 120 or 121 Street. Past that, a new connection to Lexington Avenue under 125 Street should be built, with the Manhattan Local track splitting into 2 at 120 Street with one track going up to an employee 125 Street Station where it will meet with the middle track using a double crossover switch just south of the employee station. past 116 Street station. A single crossover switch will be installed so that in case capacity is full at 125 Street station, trains and future trains can terminate at 116 Street so that they can connect to this employee station and rest at the middle track. this proposal is similar to 111 Street on the line.
  23. What I'm thinking is that the 4 car R179's should be CBTC retrofitted and placed on the and lines. I'm not sure if the should get any R179's. As for the R179 5 car sets, ALL OF THEM should run on the line, putting some R46's on the just to lengthen the trains along it's route. As for the remaining R32's (which in my opinion should be about 140 left, don't know for sure) they should run as 10 car trains on the and the should run up to at least Ozone Park or Rockaway park for A/C purposes. As for the R32's on the and lines, they should remain the same with a few upgrades on the interior's. R211's in this case, should ALL BE 5 car sets and only 5 car sets to allow flexible service and full length trains on the and lines. Though trains will most likely still be using R68's during this time.
