What if: A string of minor earthquakes hit on the following fault lines: Dyckman Fault affects the from 190/191 to 207 Eastern end of Manhattanville Fault affects 110-135/138 St stations, north of 86, and at Roosevelt Is Hudson Fault this causes the Minetta Creek to overflow affects Canal-Christopher, Canal-14, W4-14(local tracks unaffected) Reroute:

@FamousNYLover why is there an MTA-liveried Orion VII NG on the NICE N22?

That's what I was saying! I understand

See below: I'd run it via the Navy Yard, then underground across the Navy Yard (see my earlier map)

So why not just call it one letter? It makes more sense?

As that would be duplicative to the , here's another idea: split at Park Av, run it down Franklin on a viaduct, then via the Franklin Shuttle (re-double-tracked, but still skipping the stations that would be on sidings, s would still be 2 cars), then in a tunnel (or on a viaduct) via Linden-Utica to Kings Plaza. Good?

Exactly. But where would you terminate the ? That's why I was saying Chatham Sq. If you went to Middle Village, it would become a duplicate of the . You can't put over 20TPH in Cranberry Where would the go?

So just cut the entirely? or run it via the ? But how'd you manage to but upwards of 20TPH through Cranberry-Fulton?

I agree. Just run s to a short-turn terminal along the line: I think that the best short-turn stations would be: Chatham Sq Pros: s have exclusive use of the tunnel can be a 4-track terminal can have tail tracks could theoretically turn 20TPH provisions for extensions Cons: Less service to Brooklyn No other train connections Sands St Pros: could have a connection with the provisions for extensions can be a 4-track terminal more service to DUMBO Cons: share tunnel no tail tracks less service to Navy Yard Navy Yard East Pros: provisions for extensions can be a 4-track terminal more service to DUMBO and Navy Yard Cons: share tunnel no tail tracks no other train connections Weighing these, I'd say that Chatham Sq is best. In addition, you could theoretically build a new tunnel connecting with the , allowing massive operational mobility

I think that reactivation would be a great idea, however, you can't keep it on Myrtle. There are no spots to go underground, so you'd have to go over the Bklyn Bridge, which would require trams, which would require the to be booted back to the Willy B https://drive.google.com/open?id=1v8q_wmMZRc_xRnCmgG185iaHLtZNFxV1&usp=sharing is my map. It'd go underground, through the Navy Yard, with a stop at DUMBO, and then follow your route. Thoughts?

All trains run to 96-2 All trains run to 179th via 53rd Southbound trains run express from 59 to Canal trains run from Metro to Chambers terminates at 42 to 2nd suspended 57-Bay Ridge

trains would have tracks 4 and 6 to themselves. @LaGuardia Link N Tra You have proposed a RBB line, would this be a good alternative? (RBB-Main Line-ESA-Atlantic-ENY-RBB

It was a garbage train, but yes, a , signed up as Franklin Av to Bowling Green

Sure I'll make these! I should have them ready by Monday, latest!

An derails just after Hoyt, causing a complete closure of all four lines. is already on lower level by then.

Here's my proposal for a ESA/Penn to Atlantic Terminal line: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11-DXwhlE_d-ouYARvX8P-yKntsrx_BjdQsnq2-g0QiM/edit?usp=sharing Thoughts @LaGuardia Link N Tra @KK 6 Ave Local @RR503 @Union Tpke @WillF40PH @Mnrr6131?

What If: The Newton Creek overflows and completely cuts out the reenpoint Tubes, as well as the at Morgan Av Due to ESA construction, the is suspended in the 63rd Tubes There is a broken rail queens bound on the just south of Queensboro Plaza There is a derailment at Jay St caused by an Overspeeding train that knocks out the and . The is not affected. Reroute:

I agree fully. But, I'd say extend the SAS line to a new terminal at Grants tomb, with a connection to the proposed ferry terminal at 125th.

I like the Rockland Coaches 9A, as it takes me to a lot of hikes along the palisades. I also like the 171, as it is the only GWB route to run MCIs quite often. Not as much, but I also like the 197 to Warwick, as that is just a really cool town!

I'm currently making a map and writing up a proposal for a GCT/Penn to Atlantic Tunnel. I'll post it here when it is done.

I think this is a great idea. I drafted up a map: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1R3VhDzohiQdg6dsLaZBKJTPEOvUgeCgM&usp=sharing Notes: The fleet would be Siemens S200 trams. This is so that the current high-level platforms can be served. Why not regular subway stock? Because the many curves along the line would be way too tight for B Division stock This line would serve the navy yard with two stops, as well as surrounding areas. TPH I think that if we can get Prospect Park to turn 24TPH, then we could have 24TPH, with 12TPH to Bklyn Brg Park and Cadman. @engineerboy6561 you seem to know about how many trams would be needed - how many would be needed here? Thoughts @WillF40PH @Mnrr6131 @T to Dyre Avenue @mrsman @Calvin @LaGuardia Link N Tra?

I live by the , and frankly, having a <1> or is not worth it. It'd only go express from Dyckman to 242, and its just not worth the ridership losses. If we want to improve west side transit (it doesn't really need improving, but I'll humor you), just make the M5 or M4 artics. That's it. You REALLY don't need a new line. If anything, just boost service. Just my two cents

This would also affect the M15 and M66. Assuming that: M31: right on 72, left on 2nd, right on 57 M57: terminates at 2nd M15: NB buses via 3rd from 53rd to 72nd M66: terminates at 2nd

Hi all, After COVID-19 is over, I am probably going to take a trip to Orange County to railfan. As I have never railfanned here before, I was just wondering if any of you could answer a few of my questions? Is there a reliable/frequent bus from the Harriman Train Station to Chester, NY? Is there any mode of public transport to get to/from either Chester, NY or Salisbury Mills, NY to Iona Island How often do NS trains run on that industrial track along the OCHRT (Orange County Heritage Rail Trail) How often do CSX River Line trains run? @XcelsiorBoii4888 @WillF40PH @Mnrr6131 @engineerboy6561 @Via Garibaldi 8 @BM5 via Woodhaven do any of you know answers to any of these questions?
