I have proposed a Queens TramLink as a joint effort with @WillF40PH. This incorporates many abandoned lines (as @LaGuardia Link N Tra @R68OnBroadway and others have proposed) , as well as new ROWs along many underutilized streets. This is a frequent, not-that-expensive to build system that would run on a frequent basis, allowing a vast expanse of Queens to have rail service that is environmentally friendly, very useful, and cheap. Please see @WillF40PH's post below for the link to the doc and map.

I saw an Instagram post of 20803 on the 158 (coincidentally the same day I caught 9619 on the 158!)

Yes, I was considering that. Thoughts on the routing? Thanks for the comment about Princeton, had no idea! with The 614R and Rt1, Keep in mind this is bus rapid transit. The stops are in the median, unlike A regular bus. However I would be open to changing the routing what do you think would be best? Add this is BRT it HAS to run in a highway median. But this would be full service lines! there would be BRT passes and that’s how you would pay. Yeah Getting on at most of the 171 stops is risking your life! This however would be in the median!

Harrington Park: more of a transit center than a full blown terminal. Bay Ridge: It was originally going to be just a Bay Ridge-Bayonne tunnel, but it would carry subways from St George to Bay Ridge, hence the stop in SI. It could be a rails-by trails solution, that is quite a wide ROW. Tappan Zee: so build a new approach - I thought that it would be ok with Light Rail trains (that is a LRT line) Bayonne: What would be a better solution?

Changed the permissions! Thoughts on the routes? BTW, the frequencies would be: 614R 10BPH 615R 6BPH 616R 10BPH (some short-turns at Trenton) 617R 6BPH All the rest is outlined in the doc.

Hi all, Please see the Central NJ BRT proposal linked below: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rzGG3VVEdDdUrqGvDrRnkC4SXxCnLnBccscCMymN0Qw/edit# Thoughts @B35 via Church @LaGuardia Link N Tra @S78 via Hylan @Cait Sith @T to Dyre Avenue @Q101 E Midtown?

They don't run in loops. Which loops are you seeing? BTW, what should the service patterns be, do you think? see below vvv Ahh ok.

Why do they have to run in loops? Ok, understood. But, wouldn't it be cheaper to use the High Line? Could it not even work if it had track connections to the Atlantic Branch?

Ok. Those look like 25-fters. I've been to Riverdale (and have friends who live there), and I think that 35-fters could work. And then you could run electric buses (Proterra BE35s)

I finally finished my NYC Regional Metro Map!! Yay! Here's the link: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?hl=en&mid=1lv3yCmRBFUWwFeuOSRyZ3vv9aTY4b8ZE&ll=40.89638287706388%2C-73.88160290112717&z=12 I added A LOT of new lines, thoughts anyone? (NOTE: this is in addition to the takeover of the inner LIRR branches, as @bobtehpanda suggested. This map DOES NOT show that takeover. Just new lines!) Thoughts @Jsunflyguy @LegoBrickBreaker101 @gtNovaBusRTS9369?

Thanks! DO you know if they are 20' or 25' long buses?

Hi all! Quick question - which buses does the Hudson Rail Link use? How many of them? and what are the fleet numbers? Any insight? @Via Garibaldi 8 as you use the service, do you know? Thanks @Jova42R

Those were Saddle River buses? Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't they have a few 2001-3 buses?

Yes, I have. Thoughts on the redesign (and the Light Rail)?

I think that all of these are realistic! @Theli11 good reroutes!

Hi all, I have amassed a rather large fleet of model trains (mainly wooden, but a few O Scale) over the years, and I was wondering if anyone wanted to buy or trade any trains. I WANT (in Wooden Trains) Amtrak P42DC and Dash 8 All Metro North locomotives Metro North Shoreliner III Amtrak Horizon VIA Rail Locomotive (any) Siemens S200 Any Boston Tram CAF Urbos 3 I WANT (in O Scale) Any good or acceptable condition diesel freight locomotive (ideally a CNJ, PRR, Erie, or NH heritage unit) ACS-64 and AEM-7 in Amtrak colors Some more freight cars A few passenger cars I have a VERY large fleet in wooden trains, so write below if you have one of the things I want, please tell me, and I will list what I'd trade it for I HAVE (in O Scale) A 2-4-2 Steam Locomotive from Lionel Boxcar from UP Baggage Handling car from Amtrak Lionel "Polar Express" Set (Locomotive and 1 passenger car) no tracks, use regular O Scale tracks Gondola from Lehigh Valley RR and Maine Central RR P.S. @Deucey @Cait Sith @+Young+ @SevenEleven or one of the other mods, did I post this in the right place, or should I have posted it somewhere else? If the latter, feel free to move it.

This means you can request subway signs as well here! I can do any of the following types: R32 R42 R68/A R62/8 R211 (Front Sign)

How could a derailing train knock out power to half of Midtown? Something a bit more realistic: A garbage train on the Bay Ridge Branch derails and spews toxic garbage onto the platform at Avenue H . This causes the closure of the station and all tracks except the NB express track (you can use that track) A slow moving NJT train in sunnyside Yard collides with an overspeeding Amtrak train, and they both knock into the support structures of the . As a precaution, The line is closed Hunters Point Av to QB Plaza. A severe windstorm on the East River causes whirlpools between 50 St and 57 St. Because of this, the 53 St Tunnels are closed. A track fire inside the Bowling Green loop causes all trains in the area to not be able to pass. This affects the . REROUTE AWAY!

Here is the revised L96: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?hl=en&mid=1iPIjl4bFkf6V_kXI-HNxBXnPEfQD3Uwh&ll=41.044106600536914%2C-74.01035990000003&z=11 And the details: Fleet Stadler FLIRT DMU (TEXRail Spec) @engineerboy6561 If I wanted to achieve the TPH l listed below, how many would I need? TPH L96A branch: 4TPH L96B branch: 4TPH L96C branch: 7TPH This makes for 15TPH across the bridge, and 8TPH to Sparkill. In addition, during the rush, there are shuttles (designated L96S) that run from Tarrytown to Nyack-Artopee at 5TPH, so 20TPH across the bridge during the rush. @Collin @OrionVIIonM79 @B35 via Church @T to Dyre Avenue @MeeP15-9112 @MysteriousBtrain @LaGuardia Link N Tra @Around the Horn@limitednyc @Gotham Bus Co @Gotham Bus Co. Thoughts?

True. Sorry. If one of the mods could delete all these posts (mine, that is), thanks.

Ok?? I'm not just going to give out codes like crazy on here, though.

I'd say Craig/Hylan and Eastchester

You should unsend that/delete it. Those are secret, right @Cait Sith? Also, there is one top secret code that I know that I am not saying on here, but I will PM it to you if you want it.
