One note on the West Side Branch: The Spuyten Duyvil Bridge would be rebuilt, and all stations would be on sidings on both sides so Amtrak trains can pass through without quadruple-tracking the whole Freedom Tunnel (it would be double-tracked from 41 St south. Any thoughts @RR503 @Union Tpke @bobtehpanda?

Does anybody know if you can access the NY Central RR Hudson and Chatham Branch Bridge (over the Claverack Creek) in Columbia County? I know that one end is an active industrial track, but since I've seen pictures of people exploring it, I was wondering how they accessed it legally. Anyone know?

Is the buying electric LFSs (LFSi? Idk what the plural is) or hybrid? And if they are buying hybrid, are they diesel-electric, plug-in-hybrid, CNG-electric,, or possibly something else? Also, are the new Prevosts for NYCB, Bus, or both? @Cait Sith @Calvin any insight? On a different topic, how are you tracking it?

@WestFarms36 When'll we get an update?

Here’s a plan for the Rockaway Beach Branch reactivation: Rockaway Beach Branch / Queens Blvd Local / 63 St Tubes / 8 Av Express UNDER THIS PLAN, s are rerouted to Ditmars and s are rerouted to 96th. The are the only QB Locals. Howard Beach Liberty Av Atlantic Av Jamaica Av Myrtle Av-Forest Park Union Tpke Yellowstone Blvd 63 Dr makes all stops to 36 St 36 St 21 St-Queensbridge Roosevelt Island Lexington Av-63 St via the tunnel NEW STATION: 5 AV via a new tunnel to a new junction just north of 59th, then merging to 8 Av Exp 59 St makes all stops to Canal St Canal St WTC Thoughts?

SIGNAL REPLACEMENT AND STATION MODERNIZATION April 2020 to July 2020, late nights and weekends. service at 5 Av, Lex Av-59 St, Queensboro Plaza, 39 Av, 36 Av, Broadway, 30 Av, Astoria Blvd, and Ditmars Blvd is suspended. service at 5 Av, Lex Av-59 St, and Queens Plaza is suspended. service at 5 Av and Lex Av-59 St is suspended. trains run via the and from 57 St-7 Av to 36 St. trains run from 86 St to 57 St-7 Av. trains run from Queensboro Plaza to Astoria-Ditmars ONLY, fulltime. For Lex Av-59 St, use the at Lex Av-63 St. For additional service between Manhattan and Queens, service will run its normal weekday pattern. For service to Queens Plaza, use the at 34 St or the at 42 St. For service between Manhattan and Querns, use the trains or the express shuttle bus. THERE IS A FREE TRANSFER BETWEEN QUEENSBORO PLAZA AND 21 ST. A shuttle bus will run from Lex Av-63 St to 57 St-7 Av, stopping at Lex-59 and 5 Av. There will also be an express shuttle bus from Queensboro Plaza to 57 St-7 Av, making no stops.

@lupojohn, these are great! Good job!

A few questions: Why not have the TriboroRX go via the GC Pkwy Median, then over the RFK Bridge, and have that be the 125th crosstown One 2nd Av service (most likely the ) would run local on this segment - to Bronx Why not have Lower Montauk connect to SAS, then go crosstown near 60th? The Jamaica-Bronx Line, IMO, should also connect with inwood (maybe a rush hour via express track, then to this line?) TriboroRX should have a branch to Astoria (maybe make this the 125th crosstown?) Thoughts?

For those of you wondering, here are all the MetroCard Transfer Exceptions: All transfers are good for 2 hours . EXCEPTION: A three-hour transfer window applies from transfers from any subway station to the Q22, Q113, and Q114 routes of MTA Bus, and the n31, n32 and n33 routes of the Nassau Inter-County Express. MetroCard transfers are good for one connecting trip on any other local or express bus service, New York City Subway, or Bee-Line buses (restrictions apply).EXCEPTIONS: Two transfers are available with MetroCard for the following transfers. The transfers must be made in order or in reverse order, and the 2-hour rule applies. Between bus routes crossing the Staten Island Railway south of the Staten Island Expressway, the Staten Island Railway through St. George Ferry Terminal, and then any MTA local bus or subway service below Chambers Street in lower Manhattan. Between the , , and any bus route connecting with either the or the . Between the , S53, and any bus route connecting with the S53. Between the Q22, Q35, and the and trains at the Flatbush Avenue–Brooklyn College station. Between the Q22, Q52 Select Bus Service or Q53 Select Bus Service, and the A train at the Rockaway Boulevard station. Between the Q29, Q33, and Q72. Transfers with coins are good for use on one connecting local bus route. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTA_Regional_Bus_Operations#Fares

@LaGuardia Link N Tra GREAT Idea! Here's mine: SIGNAL MODERNIZATION AND SWITCH REPLACEMENT Starting April 20, 2020 until Winter 2020, weekends and late nights service at 57 St, Lexington Av-63 St, Roosevelt Island, and 21 St-Queensbridge is suspended service at 72 St, 86 St, and 96 St is suspended trains run from Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue to Jamaica-179 St, via the between 47-50 Sts and 36 St. trains run from Metropolitan Av to 47-50 Sts, then via the to 145th St, the last stop. trains run from Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue to Lexington Av-63 St, then via the to Roosevelt Island. Shuttle buses run on 3 routes: Route #1: 59 St 57 St-6 Av 59 St-5 Av Lexington Av-63 St 96 St Route #2: 59 St 57 St-6 Av 59 St-5 Av Lexington Av-63 St 72 St 86 St 96 St Route #3: Roosevelt Island 21 St - Queensbridge Queensboro Plaza Queens Plaza

S63: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1AmzYGILOpzuvFebAxkBVHanMzjVR-EYL&usp=sharing 71 St to West Shore Plaza runs Nova LFS from Meredith Depot (buses transferred to Meredith) Thoughts @B35 via Church @checkmatechamp13 @Deucey

The B75 does not exist, but the fastest way would be the B103

No I mean use the trackway above the pedestrian path. That was once used as a trolley line, correct? Another option would be to make that trackway the path, and have trains run on the pedestrian path, or via a new structure on top of the line. s and s theoretically could run Siemens Avenio trams - they would use battery along the , catenary at all other times. Thoughts on that?

Its what the said

I thought that the S25 - Eltingville to EWR route would be better than Tottenville, so I agree that that is the most feasible The S27 is meant to be a connector for St. George. Would it be better to run the S27 St George to 34th, and the S26 Eltingville to Exchange? It is just the current S89 - no changes except the SI routing I thought that was the plan posted here earlier - that was the only reason I added it. So you think it could work? Ok, thanks! I know that they had a plan, my question was, could the entire line be converted?

Any thoughts on this plan @Union Tpke @RR503

Delays Northbound and trains are proceeding with delays after NYPD safely removed an unauthorized person from the tracks at Borough Hall.

Delays and trains are resuming their regular routes after we performed urgent track repairs near Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr. Continue to expect delays on the lines while we work to get trains back on schedule for the PM rush. Posted: 3/12/20 4:57 PM

Some Reroutes Some northbound trains are running express from Kings Hwy to Church Av because of a signal malfunction at Ditmas Av. Posted: 3/12/20 6:25 PM
