I just got hired by PATH. IT TOOK 2 1/2 month from the time that I got offered to test.

 

Congratulations on getting hired!

From ST's website I see that Suffolk Transit is like Sun Tran in that the fare for Seniors, Persons With Disabilities and Medicare Card Holders is only 75¢.

Quite a savings over the $2.25 fare.

From Grand Central to Barclay's Center on the

We are at the All Star break and Charlotte leads the Southeast Division of the NBA with 27 30. 

My copy of New York City Guide with map did not arrive today as predicted but that is ok. 😊

My book and map might arrive tomorrow of this week or Tuesday of next week.

Looking forward to opening the package when it does arrive.

My copy of Hart's Guide To New York City arrived from the United Kingdom on Thursday. 😊

It has both the 1964 subway maps in color and the 1964 subway time maps.

Each of the four boroughs is shown with its subway lines - blue for the I.R.T., yellow for the B.M.T. and red for the IND..

There is also a map of the Port Authority Trans Hudson.

Both Subways and Port Authority Trans Hudson have entries as do Buses.

A beautiful book.

Why doesn't the  just get on the express track at 36? I get it has to run local between 59-36 but just going on the express track at 36 would solve a lot of problems 

Why does the have to run local between 59-36?

My copy of New York City Guide by Federal Writers Project with Manhattan/Subway and Elevated Map is expected to be delivered Friday February 15th.

My book went from Ann Arbor, Michigan to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania but is now on the way to Tucson, Arizona.

Book seller Westside Book Shop describes the book as having a tight, square binding for a book from 1939. The map is described as pristine. Sounds like it was well taken care of over time.

2019 is the eightieth anniversary for the New York City Guide by Federal Writers Project of The Works Project Administration.

Did not know there was three trains that only runs under a tunnel ()

Weird thing - all three trains used to go outside.

This would be the best thread to submit ideas for deinterlining the New York City subway system.

The only places that should be de-interlined are Rogers and DeKalb. Here is my plan for that:
 

Rogers:

 unchanged, but a straight track is build to connect the SB local track and SB Nostrand track

  148th to Flatbush

  to New Lots via local east of Franklin

 to Utica, express east of Franklin

DeKalb:

  Norwood to CI (via Brighton), local everywhere except 6th. Operates 24/7.

 Norwood or BPB to Brighton Beach or Ocean Parkway via peak express on Concourse the whole way (including Brighton). Operates weekdays 6 AM- 12 AM.

 96th/125th to CI via Broadway and 4th express and Sea Beach. Operates weekdays 6 AM- 12 AM.

 96th/125th to CI via Broadway and 4th express and West End. Operates 24/7.

  is rerouted to Astoria to provide a second service on Astoria. The  gets a service increase (18/7 to Forest Hills) and a free transfer between the Queenses (Plaza and Boro) is provided. Late nights cut back to either Whitehall or 34th since the express tracks are not used between 34th interlocking and Prince interlocking overnight.

  replaces the  as the primary Astoria-Brooklyn line via Broadway and 4th local and also Sea beach. Operates 24/7.

 

Now to address some points Lawrence made:

The southern Brooklyn swap is to eliminate the issues at DeKalb (cough cough the   crawling through and stopping frickin everywhere).

If the  can be removed from QBL and the  can make up for it, then let that be in place.

The  here would become the primary CPW/6th line so it would be reasonable to have it run local on Brighton.

 

 

Wait a second. The used to run to Astoria as the and did not have a yard. That's why the and the were switched.

Book seller Westside Book Shop of Ann Arbor, Michigan has confirmed my order and has shipped my book and map to me.

I think it is a great find. 

I have just purchased a copy of New York City Guide by Federal Writers Project from 1939. The book contains the map of Manhattan and the subway and elevated lines of 1939 in the back pocket.

The book seller describes the book as being in Very Good condition and the map as being in Pristine condition for a book and map from 1939.

The only thing that is missing is the dust jacket but that is ok. My copy is a first edition.

I am waiting on confirmation from Westside Bookshop in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Why was the M10 shortened?

For now I have one copy of Uptown Downtown A Trip Through Time On New York's Subways.

One copy of The WPA Guide To 1930's New York City.

To add on, as one of the closest stations to Times Square outside of the eponymous station, 49 Street ranked at 38th in terms of annual usage in 2017.

Also, 49th Street serves Rockerfeller Center.

There was a thread about this.But I forgot when.But its the then the and after that idk.(maybe the .

No, I think think the then the are the second and third longest subway lines.

I would redesign the Sea Beach line. I would like to rebuild each station and the express tracks.

I would like to reintroduce express service along the Sea Beach line.

I am not certain where express stations would be except one would be New Utrecht Avenue.

Tucson, Arizona since April 5, 2011. I live near North Flowing Wells Road and West Prince Road.

My home bus line is Sun Tran's #17.

New Girl on FOX. I was sad when it ended after seven years.

Fortunately, I have all seven seasons of New Girl on my phone.

Upper Crust Pizza at 1909 East Grant Road.

I was introduced to PATH and the subway at an early age by my parents. I can remember railfanning in March 1978 when I was fifteen years old.

The #88 and the #10.
