This makes the loss sting even more, Mets wrapped train only for the team to be eliminated from the playoffs in the wildcard round by the Padres.

Why would a retired Bee Line bus be at an MTA facility?

Avoid riding the subway specifically the B div lines this weekend, drive or use Uber/Lyft if possible. This weekend was one of the most miserable experiences I ever had riding the subway.

Loans on a Saturday? how could they be short on a weekend

3002 is scrap, I personally seen the Tow Truck actually drop the bus off in the scrap lot today. All the times I been to ECH today is the first time I cought an bus being dropped off there. Tow Truck driver was preparing to back the thing into a parking spot.

Someone let off pepper spray on an train.

ATC/Cab Signals. Here's an railfan view video of an SIR train, as you can see in the video the stations don't have wayside signals as the signal aspect is shown inside the cabs

A busfan out there has an Bee Line Orion V as part of their collection, they even rigged it with MTA Bus codes Proof below, not my photo, credit goes to the Flickr photographer who uploaded the pic. https://www.flickr.com/photos/95914888@N07/52369343222/in/album-72177720302245743/

The SI R211 will test on NYCT trackage then be sent to SIR, they will be refitted where they can be sent to BIE by trip cocks just so they can safety run on NYCT trackage as trip cocks aren't needed on SIR due to them using a different signal system. I guess the reason they will test on NYCT trackage as SIR is only two tracks most of its route and they don't have anything similar to the Rockaway Test track. Personally, I would have a single track G.O on the overnight hours on SIR so the R211 can test on its home trackage without ever going to NYCT.

They can't send R68/68As to SIR cause they would have to be refittted with cab signals. That's why the R46s weren't sent there cause it would cost too much $$$ to refit them to use cab signals.

I like the M3s too but it seems like this preference is the exception not the norm. LIRR riders despise the M3s I like all three equally for the most part. By the time I had money to fan commuter rail routes routes the M7s had taken over and the M1s were long gone so getting the M3s were an treat because they are kind of uncommon if you aren't a regular rider.

Yeah, the M3s won't be allowed to go to GCT cause they aren't compatible with the new signal system in those tunnels.

^^^^^ That's also an photoshop, if you google image search that photo, you finally get to the real pic of an R62 train at Times Square.

........Yes, for some odd reason the NY Post photoshopped an onto an R62. Link to article which is just as bizarre (women... or are they Alien Orions from Star Trek? out here robbing people) https://nypost.com/2022/10/02/thieves-wearing-neon-green-snatch-teens-purse-at-nyc-subway/ Link to video the article is about... https://www.reddit.com/r/nyc/comments/xu3sh4/large_group_of_women_in_green_suits_fighting_with/

You are wrong about the being useless. I use to be an commuter on the J/Z during it's time of operation and it's a legit time saver. You really think the has higher ridership than the ? I highly doubt that's true.

Whoever designed this grahpic HAS to be an railfan, that's clearly an M7 lol Yes I know the subway bullets are the wrong colors but look how detailed that train is They probably wanted the colors of the subway bullets to be Mets colors.

There was an R68A on the today.

I don't think your last question can be realistically answered, as nobody on here was alive in 1928. IIRC from posts from subway historians, Queens was the boonies when the Flushing line first opened. The line caused a lot of development around it. Here's a photo from back then

This video summarizes how LIRR Engineers and C/Rs get qualified on the new trackage into GCT

Yesterday service was temporarily suspended due to a train with an mechanical problem they couldn't move.. Today? There's an a train with an mechanical problem at 14th Street - Union Square and my had to be short turned at Bedford Ave due to congestion in Manhattan caused by said train with mechanical problem, agggrrhhh

The purpose of Meredith is to reduce crowding at the other SI depots.

Those old cars are called the R46. line uses R68/68As regularly, odd that you haven't seen one recently. The 68s are actually more common on the now than when the line had R160s.

Trains sometimes still buck under ATO in CBTC on the line. Usually always an R143, can't recall the R160s ever bucking.

BIE = Brakes In Emergency

Nah. Speaking of Subway/NBA references, the Brooklyn Nets court at Barclays had the same font as subway signs. Thought that was cool.
