IMO, If we're talking about giving Fulton street a new local service, I think building a short connection from Montague to Hoyt-Schermerhorn and letting the handle Fulton local would be better, sorta like a Brooklyn version of the 21st. connection. 's end at Whitehall already so it would just be a simple extension to Euclid Ave. (Ik this idea was proposed before).

1. I feel like doing all of this would be pretty messy and confusing on many levels: riders perspectives, additional interlining etc. Altho I agree should continue to 6th Ave on weekends, whether to Forest Hills or 96 st. ( trains really needs that help on weekends in my experience lol) 2. Pretty sure this was discussed a lot in the 63rd st closure thread. As much as I think letting run to Forest hills on weekends can reduce the late night switcheroo confusion a little but idk. 3. I have some doubts about that, both and on 53rd, probably, but the is well known for many common issues, so itll need the help, even if riders doesn't take the on QBL local as much as other routes.

Personally, I kind of wish the sets coming from Nebraska were delivered this way but its trucked halfway across the country one by one rn. I assume the reason they're not delivered by rail is because either costs, Class I freights being sucky as usual or some other logistical issue. But idk lol.

That noise is due to the el structures being made of steel and the way the tracks are directly bolted to the steel. Not to mention the F train's curve. Maybe dampeners in the track or sound barriers (covering the entire structure to be effective) could be installed to reduce this. But unless if the entire el structure is rebuilt with concrete or magically buried underground (which neither will ever happen because of costs and topography), then the noise will continue to persist in some way.

At this point the Jerome El is cursed or something lol. First a killing at 170 or 176 st. a few months back, then teens shooting each other at Mt. Eden Ave., then a freaking severed leg being discovered near 167 st. and now this.

Damn i heard of this from discord but I didnt know it was actually true. Interesting this happened right after the pilot to install "barriers" between the T/O's and the passengers started at 125 st. .

Damn im surprised dailymail didnt even censor that photo either lol. Those guys are definitely doing that on purpose.

Just curious, Is there proof of this? Because most of what i've been hearing is that its a glitch. Also if conquesters really did change it, then shouldn't the entire train be signed as last stop? Iirc it was only 4055-9 signed as (L), while 4045-9 was signed correctly.

Ah I see, thanks for letting me know. Yeah thats unsurprising but I don't blame them lol.

If im not mistaken, the queens district are trains right? If so, then i think this implies that the R211T might run on the and/or . Maybe.

There will always be those kinds of people everytime a new train is introduced. Im sure this kind of attitude existed with the previous NTTs and continue to exist with future trains. Maybe a time machine should be invented just to send those kinds of people to the 1970s and leave them there lol. /j

Yeah I also have the same feeling for things like station renovations, installing cbtc, trackwork etc. Imo, I feel like the mta relies so much on contractors for everything that it feels like the mta doesn't even do anything in house. Especially when relying on them too much can and has caused many issues and delays in various projects from what I can tell. (Not to mention corruption lol).

Can confirm i saw it at high st around 5:30 today

If i'm not mistaken, i think it kinda varies everyday. Some days 5 sets will be running, other days 6 sets etc.

Yeah i was disappointed when the score for the rockaway beach branch was low :/ . Also I'm curious to know how they evaluated the utica ave subway options. Is it assumed to be completely underground or partly elevated? etc. Because if its fully underground then i can see where these bloated prices came from. But then again im not surprised that many of these estimates are kinda bs imo lol.
