This is a rather good plan, and I would be willing to abandon Harlem-148th. A new 145th Street station that would be 10 cars long would be built. The northern end would be around 147th or 148th Street. The new tunnel under the Harlem would allow 3 service to get onto the Jerome Avenue Line, DOUBLING the TPH on the line.

That tunnel would have one steep ass grade, that area is more or less at sea level

The best way to find out is the Wikipedia page. Their info is pretty accurate.

I can change it and say the 179s will have a propulsion powered by pizza hungry subway rats.

I saw it once when I was waiting at Euclid for the next train.

 

If I do see it again, why not?

What I saw: circa November 2016, on the uptown EXP track

The side displays are crisper, less bold text, and the lighting is at least 7500K (very blue). The technicians were on board with laptops and measuring equipment. The holding poles are the bulge in middle type.

Is it fair to assert some R68 cars could also be replaced?

 

The R32 "Detroit's" are fifty [emoji69] , but how old are the R68s? Thirty, thirty-five? [emoji53]

Sometimes I notice that the NYCT pairs two different five car sets, because the lighting isn't the same.

 

Question: can an R160 Alstom 5 car be linked to a Bombardier R160 5 car without issue?

You mean an Alstom 160 (160A) to a Kawaski 160 (160B)?

The Alstom propulsion 160Bs are always mixed with the Alstom 160As, nothing different between them other than who built it.

Once in a while you'll find a Siemens propulsion 160B paired with a Alstom propulsion 160B or 160A, but it can happen at random.

I don't quite get it.. Whats the joke?

Neither do I....I've tried analyzing it but can't find anything.

And that was probably the guys deliclvering the buses that did that.

The wheelchair accessible stations on the are...

-Fulton St

-Marcy Av

-Flushing Av

-Sutphin Blvd

-Jamaica Center

Dumb question: In the first pic, what's supposed to go after the bullet?

Marcy is ADA accessible.

 

And technically, an rider requiring ADA-accessibility could take the to Chambers Street and then take the M9.

Random thought: While going home, car 9023 has the screeching brakes when approaching the station

No dynamic braking...more than likely a dead motor

Something definitely wrong with this car.

Random though: While going home, car 9023 has the screeching brakes when approaching the station

But are they trains internally?

The blizzard tomorrow manages to dump a ton of snow into some underground stations including:

• 23 Street (on local tracks)
• Prince Street, 49 Street (on local tracks)
• Canal Street, Spring Street, Bleecker Street, Astor Place, 23 Street, 28 Street, 33 Street
• 110 Street, 116 Street, 125 Street, 135 Street

Simple.

Preliminary plans (as always subject to change) show a Plan 5 happening.

In a nutshell, all outdoor platforms will be shut down and trains will be terminating at the closest underground station.

Or what about the B60 from Canarsie to Rockaway Avenue ?

/sarcasm

A train stalls over the switch at West 4th Street on the southbound track, causing service to back up.

 

Another train stalls over the switch at Court Square, severely backing up service in both directions.

 

A train went BIE in the Queensboro tubes, also backing up service along Broadway.

 

It's the middle of rush hour what do you do?

via 8 Av/53 St/Cranberry to Jay St

Nassau Av to Church Av

Metropolitan Av to Chambers St, whatever trains caught in the mess gets sent to Jay St via 8 Av/53 St/ Cranberry to Jay St, otherwise suspend it

96 St to Coney Island, Queensboro Plz to Ditmars

via 63 St

suspended

There's 2 NGs on the M60 right now

...one of them was my bus that I needed to go to work that I missed lol

During the Saint Patrick's day parade and everybody is going home, power suddenly is lost to the CPW line from 59th Street to 145th Street. At the same time, a transformer fails along 6th Avenue, knocking out service between West 4th Street and Grand St/2 Avenue.

 

What do you do?

Take an Uber lol

207 St to 168 St, Chambers St to Lefferts/Far Rockaway via Fulton local

Suspended

Suspended

205 St to 161 St, Atlantic-Barclays to Coney Island

normal...ironically lol

179 St to WTC, York St to Coney Island, some trans via Crosstown

Metropolitan Av to Chambers St

via Sea Beach local

Yea last time I went to check the MJQ depot it was only like one floor and I didn't see if there were more floors.

I agree maybe the roof of the MJQ depot should be used for employee parking space just like Manhattanville does with its roof.

Basement: Employee parking

Ground floor: wash bays/parking

2nd floor: mechanic area

Roof: more parking/midday express bus storage

Oh and I thought Grand Av Depot was bigger.

Should I assume that by property you mean that JFK lot or would that be incorrect?

Give it a rest....

 

The hipsters & other riders of the train simply won't consider the B39 & any extension of it - or any other bus carrying riders between areas that the serves, and a part of Manhattan the masses that even take the L are not trying to get to.....

 

The L train from Brooklyn to Manhattan is a transfer line enough as it is, and you want to have those riders take buses running on half-hourly headways over the Williamsburg bridge......

==================================

 

 

 

If anything that > > commute is gonna be the norm; or as it's infamously called around these parts, the 3 borough commute

(that is, for those that aren't crying about literally moving out of their homes closets because a subway line is going to be knocked out... JFC, such babies)

 

The Canarsie folks that need Manhattan... Well, let's just say I wan't no part of being anywhere around Utica/Eastern Parkway.... It's going to end up being a bigger shitstorm than it is now....

I'm not going into Manhattan only to come back out on the M60

I've been getting almost nothing but R143's.

I've been getting 32s

Actually, it was limited to the fleet that then ran on the 4. We're talking back in the mid 90's. The fleet has shuffled around since then.

Woah. R62a #2056 has speakers on the side of it. Only that car tho. Rest of the train didn't have any. I was waiting at grand central and I was like where's that coming from cuz there were no other trains except a Uptown R62A sitting in the station.

Makes you wonder if those to 180 St are actually crews
