 (  is rerouted to Astoria)

I think your idea is great but could Astoria take that much traffic? Also you’re basically wasting the track connection made specifically for connecting Broadway and Queens Blvd.  riders would have to make unnecessary transfers to get onto Queens Blvd. Maybe reroute the  or  instead.

A quick CBTC implementation question:

I’ve seen CBTC signs (completely visible) at some IND Culver express station, probably 7th Av. Is there CBTC anywhere on Culver? I immediately thought there couldn’t be, 46s and 68s, but why the sign? Are they in the process of putting it in now?

Thanks

Hopefully these will have open gangways like the R211Ts and the S stock in London.

I still just don’t think open gangways are gonna work. They’re a great concept, but I feel like in reality, they will just allow smell to spread and cause problems.

I think this swap is going very interestingly and I’m excited to see the results. Siemens on Queens Blvd will certainly be new. And the 46s on the , , , and  will make for some great open cut and elevated shots! I just can’t believe that I will never see a 46 on the  or  ever again. I grew up with these and I’m just not ready for the end. These are my home lines and 46s have always been a vital part of them. So sad to see them go.

Base order: SIR

Oh the 211s are going on the SIR? I guess it’s about time for those 44s to go like their NYCTA counterparts.

I made a track map of Stamford, including the station, yard, and split to the New Canaan Branch. I used Google Maps satellite view, so there might be a few inaccuracies. I tried to identify which tracks were used and which weren’t. Point out if I made any mistakes, I’ll try to fix them. Just wanted to get my work out there for anyone who would need it.
