Admittedly that sign was put there before we consolidated the IND in midtown to 34 Master.

A2 track has been OSS for well over a decade for museum reasons between the switch south of Hoyt and the switch south of Court.
As for B division punches, not all punches are created equal. some are route requestors; others are to tell the tower who you are.

A great Many REPTILES ON HERE WHOM POSSESS "ZERO EMPATHY".
We have empathy… for people who deserve it.
your issue is YOUR FAULT. It is not the boots. It is not transit. It is not us. It’s entirely on YOU.

This would have been a non-issue if the
to Forest Hills idea went through as initially floated around.
I don't know why at night they don't just run the
on its daytime route between Forest Hills and Bay Ridge, and to/from Jamaica Center. I think at that point, the amount of sets needed would be similar to existing 
and overnight requirements. Also Queens has at least ONE direct connection from areas of Lower Manhattan and even Midtown at night (plus the direct connection to/from JFK).
Simple answer, QBL CBTC East arrived and dumped a box of monkey wrench’s on the corridor.

As noted, having the

If they want JFK, take the E…

Does anyone know why the
can’t run in 2 sections, especially tomorrow, where service can still be served between Manhattan and queens between 34th Steeet and Hunters point Avenue, if this pattern is possible during heavy snow storm conditions, then why isn’t it implemented as a GO service?
Because of what we call “Piggybacking”, other work is being done.
also with above ground winter storm shutdowns, we don’t always turn the trains around there, many do continue outside.
that’s just where we kick everyone off.

well...
The Zs are technically Js and the Ws are Ns.
There are no dedicated W or Z jobs in the system.
The

You know what's nice? the little salute the give to people with long careers on their last day of retirement over the radio.
You know what's not nice? When they go on and on for literally a total of 10 minutes, hogging the airwaves, like someone did last week...
If I talked that much non-stop, I'd be doing time in the streets if I was lucky...

the sides are pre-programmed. They are not connected to the MDC or the door enabler system. We have no control over which sides they show up on. It's baked in. When I got to take the 211Ts on a test drive two weeks ago, the system lit up correctly for the program we selected, and here comes me, opening the other side doors.

It would go south of West 4 to the 6th Avenue line (there are switches between the local tracks), stopping at Broadway-Lafayette on the
. From there, it would operate via the to Essex-Delancey and then via the to Broadway Junction.
better question would be WHY?
I checked. That's not in the computers.
The C has 480 foot long trains, because the shop at 207, for reasons beyond any mere mortal understanding, can't take 600 foot ones.

… let’s just dig up all of Central Park while we’re at it…

Except that provision north of 57/7 was cut into to build the 63rd street line.
It’s impossible to use it, as the active tracks cut through the unused trackways at what would have been grade level. Going over 63rd would be too steep a grade and going under, would not have the clearance between the two existing routes.
literally the only was to do it would be for the northbound track to follow the curve with 63rd street tracks, drop under the tracks coming from sixth and make a giant u-turn to the west…
and all of this under Central Park… which you may recall people were not happy with us digging the tunnels that are already there under.

So? The
is basically a short-turn making local stops while the full regular one runs express. If you rode the at night, then basically you rode the .
Like the above poster said, both routes run alongside together or on the same tracks together in both Manhattan and Brooklyn. There isn’t anything wrong with treating them like a combined entity.
Except… they’re not a combined entity. They are crewed separately. They are based separately.
remember that until the mid 90s, the C and B were swapped uptown. The B went to 168 and the C was BPB/145 lower middle.

Two questions for those involved. Are these work boots mandated ? Is there an option to purchase your own boots? I ask I come from an era where we purchased our own equipment. Just asking. Heck, I'm old enough to remember when we were issued pinstripe uniforms that my local cleaners wouldn't touch because of the steel dust that collected on them. We also purchased our own footwear. Carry on.
You can buy your own boots and even get reimbursed, so long as a manger signs off on them after inspecting that the meet the requirements, most notably an electrical hazard rating that could take the third rail.

Am I a “company woman” or am I just good at sniffing out a story that doesn’t make logical sense.
Look, taking everything you said at face value, here is the problem with your entire argument:
The boots transit buys, are OFF THE SHELF boots that anyone can buy, made by multiple different, completely unrelated manufacturers. These aren’t made specifically for the MTA. Safgard doesn’t make the boots. They’re a wholesaler.
just to prove my point, here is my first pair of transit work boots for sale on Granger.com. You will notice they are also “Avenger” branded.
I did not have a problem with them.
For them ALL to be bad, something would have to be extremely wrong.
what it seems like to me is you had an issue with your foot and chose to fall for the “correlation equals causation” fallacy and blame the boots.
You say you got a callus (there’s no “O”) on your ring toe… specifically you say “inbetween”, which makes it sound like it was between your toes.
Calluses are caused by friction.
That means your toe was rubbing up against something repeatedly.
It would seem that the problem was not the boot in and of itself, but how you were wearing them.
If the boot is on correctly, then it should move with your foot and not rub against it.
I might have gotten a blister on two after some really long platform jobs, but calluses take a long time to form. Up to a month of repeated friction.

Heard an R211 on the Liberty El at around 7PM headed southbound so there's definitely at least 1 set still running.
4060/69 never stopped running, so you could have just as easily heard that.

Yes. Yes you are…

Working the shuttle:
There is new invert and rails as far east as “FDR Interlocking” (that’s its name on the model board)
“skeleton” track on new invert from there through to Roosevelt Island Station.
just past the station to the east is newly poured invert with no track at all.
they are currently ripping it up in the eastern river tube
work has not yet reached Queensbridge.
the current GO runs to the end of the month. We’ll see where we are come thanksgiving.

SUBWAY - Random Thoughts Topic
in New York City Subway

So, when you’re new with transit, you are “extra extra” or “XX” and can be assigned anywhere in your division.
being a B division Conductor, that means every single line save for the shuttles.
i now have enough seniority to pick to be assigned down to working “extra”.
aside from the two divisions, the subway is broken down into five districts.
District 1: 0,1,2,5
district 2: 3,4,6
district 3 (B division South): B,D,N,Q,R,S,W
District 4 (B division North): A,C,H,J/Z,L,M
District 5 (Queens): E,F,G,7
(don’t ask me about the 7, I don’t know exactly why it’s lumped in with the QBL… operationally it’s crewed by district 1)
anyway, once you are high enough in seniority, you can pick to be assigned to just one of the districts in your division. This is “extra list” or “XL”. So that means, starting next month, I will only be working on the A,C,J/Z,L or M.
i will no longer have to go to the bronx.
i will no longer have to go to Stillwell Avenue.
i will no longer have to go to 179/hillside.
I will not longer have to work on R68/As.
