  1. I remeber the first time i ever took a train to the bronx, and trains were running express northbound on White Plains. Not only that, north of E 180 St, trains ran on the and trains ran on the
  2. Speaking of the F express, why did it never run express south of Church?
  3. Proposed route EDIT: Currently WIP Route: Car models: R46, R68, R160 Siemens, R211 Stops: Rockaway Park - Beach 116th Street Beach 105th Street - Seaside Beach 98th Street - Playland Beach 90th Street - Holland Broad Channel Howard Beach - JFK Airport Aqueduct - N Conduit Ave Aqueduct Racetrack Rockaway Blvd - Liberty Ave Atlantic Ave Jamaica Ave Myrtle Ave Union Tpke Yellowstone Blvd 63rd Dr - Rego Park Woodhaven Blvd - Queens Mall Grand Ave - Newton 69th Street 58th Street 46th Street - Bliss Street (underground platforms) 40th Street - Lowery Street (underground platforms) 33rd Street - Rawson Street (underground platforms) Queens Plaza
  4. This route actually existed for a while in the 60's. Some trains were rerouted via a spur onto the Canarsie line, however the spur did skip Bway Junction. Because the spur was single tracked, trains only ran towards Canarsie.
  5. dude are you the real vanshnookenraggen? i love ur website.
  6. I'm definitely overthinking this but: Given the fact that 179th has 8 tailing tracks, the yard access at Forest Hills, and the basic terminal at Jamaica Center There is enough space at 179th St for and trains to all terminate there and each line would have 2 tracks to do so. There is enough space at Forest Hills for up to 3 lines to terminate there, which means that if we have the terminating at 179th St, the and possibly rerouted and trains could terminate at 71st Ave 2 lines could terminate at Jamaica Center, and given the other examples, the lines would probably be rerouted and trains but not or trains since they are core lines at CPW. So basically you could have 9 lines run on Queens Blvd, give or take a few due to station and track capacity. The lines i came up with were the and rerouted and trains.
  7. Yeah, but if the runs instead of the , the can't carry Queens Blvd local by itself during rush hour, the or would have to run local.
  8. The reason I used the and is because the is used for only rush hour service normally, so having the run on weekends and late nights would be very confusing for a lot of people
  9. Kosciuzko, Gates, Halsey, and Chauncey are closed
  10. STATION AND TRACK RESTORATION EFFECTIVE 24/7 FROM FEB 14, 2021 TO EARLY SUMMER 2021 The stations and track between Myrtle Ave and Broadway Junction are some of the oldest in the system, dating back to the late 1800's. We are trying to restore these stations and track, so no service will run between Myrtle Av and Broadway Junction. Because of this, service is going to be changed differently depending on the time. RUSH HOUR: trains will run via the to Middle Village - Metropolitan Avenue,making express stops west of Myrtle Ave. trains are only running between Broadway Junction and Jamaica Center, making all local stops. trains will be running more frequent service between Myrtle-Wyckoff Avs and Broadway Junction MID-DAY AND EVENINGS: trains will continue to operate during mid-day and evenings, but will run local. trains will run exactly the same service as during rush hour. LATE NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS: trains will run same service as rush hour trains will not run trains will run between Metropolitan Av and Broad Street, and will be labeled as trains.
  11. EDIT: Forgot to mention no service at 2 Av, Delancey St, E Bway, York St and F platforms at Jay St
  12. The is not a problem, as at the beginning i mentioned that it is only on weekends and nights, when the does not run

  15. There have been plans to reroute a second SAS service down Nassau Street, cutting the at Chambers St and continuing into Brooklyn
  16. I agree, not only did the once go as far as Rockaway Park - Beach 116th St, having more than 2 lines with frequent service on 2 tracks is just a recipe for disaster.
  17. The North south line could end up as an extension of either the or by sending it south after Forest Hills, through Forest Park, across Jamaica Ave, and meeting the at Rockaway Blvd.
  18. The Metro-North extension is a pretty good opportunity not only for a new 125th Street Metro-North Connection, but also a connection down to Penn Station. All it requires is for the curve into Penn station to be double tracked and maybe widened.
  19. If only that was available on system like the Washington DC Metro. As someone who was been there frequently, the only way to get constant WiFi is a hotspot. Only 50% stations on the metro have WiFi, and Cell Service is out of the question due to the depth of the system. WMATA was going to get their new 8000 series cars with WiFi if they were built by Bombardier, but when WMATA saw the failure of the R179, that job was given to Hitachi Rail
  20. Too expensive for a tunnel and another bridge would be too close to the other bridges in the area
  21. But how would it get across the Long Island Sound? A tunnel is out of the question, and another bridge would not be the best either.
  22. I think it's Alabama Avenue on the , it dates back to the 1860s
  23. Maybe rename it to Hell's Kitchen/Clinton - 42nd St, or just Hell's Kitchen - 42nd St
