6 Lexington Ave

Has the ride quality improved on the converted sets?

I've asked this before but how come the brand new cars lack the flag?

Service has resumed with delays.

Why no weekender this weekend?

Sorry, my bad.

Police investigation at Union st.

Has just been solved. I read it was a transformer fire.

Do subway trains have sandboxes?

Track panel installation at Burnside avenue.

This isn't a fantasy thread.

Service has resumed

Bombardier has gotten it quite a while ago.

From what I've seen they take 5+ hours to resolve. Highly unlikely.

This is interesting: From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, July 13 to 5 a.m. Monday, July 15, trains are rerouted via the line in both directions between Canal Street and Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center due to general maintenance and prep work on the Manhattan Bridge prior to the Montague tube shutdown. source

Has the bucking ever been so severe so as to lead to the train being taken out of service because it couldn't "get its act together", or because the brakes remained stuck? P.S. Are the cars/trucks damaged in any way from this bucking?

Sometimes you even notice it on the 4.

One more question: why don't all the brakes release at the same time?

Very interesting. Although I can't say dead motors are rare. Especially on the 6.

Two words: dead motors.

Brooklyn must have been the case.

Yesterday afternoon on the downtown the conductor was really something. Some woman went in the last second and blocked the door and the conductor opened the cab door and yelled at her. Can't say I didn't enjoy it though!!

R62As now in service on the during the am rush too.

From what I saw today there are at least 2 more sets of R62As at Westchester Yard apart from the ones that were already there until now. Also, the R62A that was used for one round trip during the afternoon rush until now was used in at least 2 trips today.
