Here is my map of the ways that we could get LRT from Bayonne and Elizabeth to SI (both links lead to the same map, just some computers will not accept the first link): https://www.google.com/maps/d/drive?state={"ids"%3A["1BdIm9Xz9zuHO4It8-UUcICA74nWR0dde"]%2C"action"%3A"open"%2C"userId"%3A"107668199648967475686"}&usp=sharing https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?hl=en&hl=en&mid=1BdIm9Xz9zuHO4It8-UUcICA74nWR0dde&ll=40.644556853678665%2C-74.25874914888863&z=13 Which one is best, in your opinion?

Isn’t there room on the Bayonne Bridge? my question was how would it get from Staten Island to Elizabeth.

If anyone wants, I can send a list of codes for Academy Bus Lines. However, I won't just be dispensing the "secret" codes, so please PM me why you want to have the codes, and I will send it to you if I am sure that your reason is not malicious.

Thanks! Do you know anything about the remnants of the stations or Blauvelt to Nyack?

So is this why there have been WAY less VII OGs on MHV and MCH routes (it's mainly been NGs)

I can't open it - can you copy it into a post?

Hi all, During quarantine, I've been making plans for trips after COVID-19 ends, and one of those is to Rockland County to explore a few abandoned railroads. I have a few questions, however. Are there any remnants of the NY&NJ RR north of Spring Valley (that's the RR that went to Haverstraw) Are there any remnants of the Erie Piermont Pranch between Blauvelt and Nanuet or between Spring Valley and Suffern Did the Erie Northern Branch ever go north of Nyack? Are there any remnants of stations on the CSX River Sub? Any answers would be much appreciated! @XcelsiorBoii4888 @S78 via Hylan @engineerboy6561 @Mtatransit @B35 via Church @Trainmaster5 @biGC323232 do any of you know?

No. It is a perfect BRT corridor... Maybe if we extended it out to Broadway Jct Or JFK, but how would that be routed as BRT?

20803 is most likely training. It has been tracking in Hoboken, Meadowlands and Secaucus (Hoboken-Newport now)

How do you know? Only up to 20811 is built, so far.

Maybe have the LGA trains go to Manhattan, otherwise go to LIC I was originally thinking LRT, but a Q46 conversion would be better. I'd be open to having a branch to Kew Gradens. I was thinking to maybe extend it to the Rockaways somehow -- maybe under this proposal, the Q52/53 could make less stops along Woodhaven? Ahh, I see. I think having a busway on 3rd/Lex could work, however on 5th/Madison, it would get quite clogged up (all the express busses) It was mainly to provide a connector to the subway, and to provide rapid bus service to the underserved Central Brooklyn Area How would it get to Elizabeth? My only thought with LRT is that you could then extend it through LIC and across the Queensboro Bridge. I think that @engineerboy6561 proposed that a few months ago.

I'd implement busways at all locations - if you zoom in you can see more detail.

Sorry to be a smartypants, but technically it isn't.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't R32s not operate in Montague, 60th, or Nassau?

Which locations?

Here's my plan for a few intermodal terminals, without any digging involved! https://drive.google.com/open?id=1d95uR3x7zMetvArTYhqSC4Nsb14tEt_e&usp=sharing Thoughts/critiques/questions?

Why? EDIT: most of these I am not the only one to propose.

@LaGuardia Link N Tra didn't you say you might create a thread about "what if something was built terribly and what reroutes would you do to change subway service for the better"? I think you should create it!

why not run the from an upgraded 36-38 Yard with a connection to 4 av lcl?

LANDSLIDE AND EARTHQUAKE PREVENTION weekends in July service will be affected. trains will operate between 137 St and South Ferry. Shuttle trains will run between 207 St and 242 St. shuttle buses will run between 137 St and 207 St trains will operate between 181 St and Mott Av or Lefferts Blvd shuttle buses will operate between 181 St and 207 St, with a stop at 207 St . trains will operate between Utica Av and Burnside Av, with northbound trains skipping 170 St, Mt Eden Av, and 176 St shuttle buses will operate from Woodlawn to Burnside Av trains will operate between Stillwell Av and Tremont Av shuttle buses will operate from Norwood to Tremont Av

Phase 1: Either you'd run special s or reroute the to 145. Just the 6TPH of the is NOT OK. Also, Why not end the at 137, then have shuttle buses run to 110th ? Phase 2 is fine

Why not built a tunnel from a reactivated North Shore Line (or, if it's LRT, run it over the Bayonne Bridge), then run it with the HBLR (you'd need to construct new tracks), and then bore a tunnel to Manhattan? That'd be two short-ish tunnels instead of one MASSIVE one. I'll make a map for this and tag you when it is done.

What is service like on the PVL and PJL?
