  1. Was that announcement by the same voice that does the "L&G, the next Brooklyn bound train is 1 station away"? For some reason, when that voice makes service change announcements, it is for a strange reason. Side note: I find those announcements annoying,
  2. I hate it when an N/B A arrives at W4 before I close down my C. Then it is hard for me to close down because everyone jumps on that A like it's giving away 50 billion dollars. You left the C at the right time lol
  3. They will be surprised when they want Sutphin and get kicked off the train at 168.
  4. There were already R160s which went to Lefferts. There should be transfers to/from East New York and Pitkin which will probably use the Chrystie Cut.
  5. What I could think of is that it is an emergency exit or an old tower for the switch north of the station.
  6. The protection board protects the third rail, not you!
  7. He probably just wanted an RFW out to the Rockaways. Off topic: Do you pronounce "Schermerhorn" as "Scer-mer-horn"?
  8. Shah was one of my instructors for conductor.
  9. With that in mind, there will probably be less or no R160s on the R.
  10. I have never seen the "Walk through train" message on the bridge train.
  11. I'll rather hear "green line" or "yellow line" over of the "456" or "NQR". They might be from another city and their routes go by color. The train at Whitehall middle every mornings is a "bridge" train so customers can go to the southbound platform to exit since the escalator on the north end of the northbound platform is being replaced.
  12. I was hearing stories that it took almost 3 hours to go from Stillwell to Astoria!
  13. I saw a group on the south end of the southbound platform around 925.
  14. I might have saw your class at Bedford Park...
  15. Shah was one of my TSSes in school car.
  16. Middays: about 7-8 minutes Saturdays: about 7-8 minutes Sundays: 10 minutes
  17. Here is another "C is better than the A story": I'm on a northbound C and someone wants to know where the A is (it was in front of us). Turns out she wanted to go to 168. She gets on my C, but gets off at 14 Street to wait for the A. The next A did not show up until we got to 168. Also, at 42 Street the announcement that a train was arriving on the uptown express track played, so several people got off to catch the A train. It turned out that the A was a NIS train! Same thing happened at 59 too!
  18. There was also a fire on 25 Street and 4th Avenue.
  19. And to top it off, R46 F's are not all that rare.
  20. I had him for my written final and I agree with you. He likes to refer to the rule book a lot.
  21. Its best to stay on the N or R to 42 Street where you can take the Q. 2 Avenue and 34 Street (6 Avenue platforms) also have the "guess the platform" setup during service changes.
  22. More than likely, plus that station is busy on a regular.
  23. To get from Bergen Street to Myrtle- Willoughby Avenues on a day without any G.Os or reroutes, you take the G train SIX stops. To get from Bergen Street to Myrtle- Willoughby Avenues with this G.O on the F (without riding to Manhattan or taking the F to Coney Island), you have to take FIVE different trains.
