  1. It was 2020 when they did it. Last year it wasn't done because of the shortage caused by omicron. The wasn't suspended during the omicron surge. It was only during that huge 2020 outbreak the line was suspended
  2. The only local stops it will be stopping at is 125th Street (Uptown Trains) and 59th Street-Columbus Circle
  3. Funny thing is the Train from Brighton Beach was still suspended until after 7:30 or so.
  4. The Train G.O between 205th Street and 161st Street has been canceled this weekend due to the ALCS Series.
  5. They're doing Fastrack on 6th Avenue for the last two weeks of this month and the first week of October. Interesting twist though is that the will be running local on Broadway via Montague Tube instead of Broadway Express via Manhattan Bridge like they did in the past.
  6. Nope it's in service for some kind of run.
  7. Those Kingsbridge Trips has always skipped 182nd-183rd Street. They still do today.
  8. R68 2632 has a diamond bullet instead of the usual bullet.
  9. Actually the R142/R142As were already planned on being CBTC Compatible for the Lexington Avenue CBTC when that project was announced a few years ago.
  10. You do realize there's also the crew shortage that's affecting trips and crowd conditions in general.
  11. I'm well aware. They didn't run on the during the 2020 Suspension. They did run on the several times in 2020 but was way after the was restored.
  12. It didn't happen during the 2020 suspension. Some of the Train layups was mainly used on the Lines.
  13. No it wasn't. It was done the weekend after the Manhattan Bridge Restoration. I remember the Manhattan Bride Restoration weekend because Most B Division G.Os for that weekend was a Saturday only G.O and I rode the Trains the first day of the Manhattan Bridge Restoration. Also the the switch interlocking between 61st Street and 69th Street was removed February of 2008.
  14. Actually you need over 500 R211s to replaced 207th/Pitkin's R46s.
  15. It was always supposed to end in April. I remember seeing the posters saying changes we're supposed to go through April. It was only the weekends shutdowns that is supposed to be for select weekends in March.
  16. They're also doing work on the 6th Avenue Local Tracks southbound.
  17. You do realized those changes are not permanent and they're supplement schedules until further notice due to the crew shortage.
  18. Actually there hasn't been any 8th Avenue CBTC related work since November. They're supposed to resume 8th Avenue CBTC work soon.
  19. Because the G.O is being done all day on Sunday. It's only when the G.O is done during overnights only that the will end at Hoyt. And the will be ending at World Trade Center that Sunday as well
  20. Haven't really posted any photos on here in months. Well Enjoy July August September October November 12/1/2021 12/3/2021 Forever Photography
  21. That's not entirely true. It was done for the following reasons. 1. To save money on the deadheads because they would used to have to send three Trains from Concourse Yard Friday evenings to 135th Street spur and deadhead to 174th Street Yard which also caused delays. Same vice versa on Sunday Nights 2. Because the Train shared its R32/R38 Equipment with the , it was easier to swap equipment if needed. It was also easier to do maintenance and work on the equipment. 3. Easier for the to used each other equipment if needed. 4. Weekend Trains was initially supposed to run OPTO with R44s since weekend Train service used to run 4 Cars R32/R38. That plan was scrapped and weekend Trains were extended to 8 Cars.
