  1. So… anyway… 4060/69 are back together and out and about. Saw them across from my train at high street.
  2. If anything he’s making him sound like the second coming of Dr. Beeching
  3. Another important lesson for everyone: for the conductors, there are some train operators who are always in a hurry to get through their trip. If you delay even slightly, they’ll push the door warning button. They’ll keep giving you two, not caring why you might be held up. If you have a legitimate issue., if you feel safety is at risk, remember, safety FIRST. I had one such operator recently. Someone was throwing things out of the train onto the platform. Ranging from empty food take out… TO A USED HYPODERMIC NEEDLE… yes, Oscar the grouch here was causing a bio-hazard. I basically put it like this to them at the terminal… You do YOUR job… and I’ll do mine. And my job is SAFETY. for the new TOs, recognize that each individual station stop is a unique event. No two are the same. If it is taking your partner longer to close down, don’t automatically assume it’s laziness or incompetence and start being a jerk towards them. like today… I’m a little under the weather. I’m getting over a cold. I’m not going to be 110%. I might be having a sneezing fit back there. You’re where you need to be. You are getting paid. Rushing only results in mistakes.
  4. Which we don’t know… so… And I can go through great lengths to explain why the bottle of ketchup in your refrigerator is secretly plotting to empty your savings, burn down your house and flee to Canada… just because you say something is fact doesn’t make it fact unless you have the evidence to back it up. We don’t know you. You’ve been here a week. Your word isn’t worth anything. i work for transit (still waiting for my profile badge, guys, I asked weeks ago). I have been here for years. These guys know me and know that I know what I’m talking about. That level of trust is something that is earned. Not given out to everyone who walks in the door. that being said… the 179s are not a 160 option order… if they were… they would still be 160s.
  5. Tell me you’ve never been to Forest Hills without telling me you’ve never been to Forest Hills… if anywhere needs help, it’s Bowery.
  6. No, because once the train was loaded up at 86th street, it ran non-stop to 23rd to drop them off. We do this every year for the 69th after the parade. used to be on the Lexington line before the SAS opened. It's legitimately listed in the system as the "Troop Train".
  7. considering that's one of the barn tracks she's on, yeah, safe to say nothing to worry about.
  8. His source is basically “dude, trust me”… which is effectively also a more appropriate way to read his user name given how cynical this place often gets.
  9. B2 seems to have not been activated yet. bassicly, CBTC is one way
  10. The 1662 we got was pretty close to the original pitch of about 1700 cars. If there was going to be another option, it probably would not have been that large, a bit like the order nicknamed at the time “R142S”, an extra 8 trains of R142A ordered in 2003, car numbers 7731 through 7810. And the 160 contract was still the largest rapid transit car order in history when it was completed. the R179s were then what the R268s are now… pie in the sky “shakes the magic 8 ball and gets ‘ask again later” speculation… and that was within transit itself. When I worked at the Transit Museum in 2006, I remember being sent upstairs to 130 Livingston to pick up the mail (not one of my normal duties back then, but I am mostly a people pleaser when I’m in a good mood and they asked nicely) and a TV screen in the lobby talking about the future R179 order… I think might have been a “Transit Transit” episode or it could have been some internal company video. and remember, this was when the 160s were brand new.
  11. more than any other issue with that suggestion... no one is going to use that "just" for emergencies. The emergency gates at stations are just for emergency use and people plow right through them to exit all the time because they're lazy.
  12. No points for guessing who was trying to shuffle her way up 6th Avenue on a Mikey in the middle of all that...
  13. Considering the aggressor also had a bladed object of some kind, he was not out of the woods completely. also, consider this… if he didn’t fire, what was the possibility of the aggressor taking the gun back and using it and not just on his target..? that is part of the legal considerations they make. plus, this case would need to go before a grand jury to actually indict and if they attempted to charge the shooter, I think a lot of people might let him off the hook.
  14. So, at this point, they have still not added any extension to the GO to the planned service changes page… and infact have added another GO. Northbound platform at Northern Blvd will be closed for accessibility work starting April 8th… and the weekday posts specifically mention the M…
  15. not a stand your ground state, but one where self-defense is an accepted defense.
