Kamen Rider

http://www.subchat.com/buschat/read.asp?Id=280318 Breaking news, 12 year old allowed to join transit museum, now convinced he can tell them what to do. I used to work there and I couldn't convince them of anything. Took a kid nearly getting hurt for them to take up my suggestion to ban heelies in the station. And he wants them to save his specifically chosen O5.

your guess is as good as any of ours...

I don't think I've ever seen Gold get pissed off at all. It just goes to show how toxic jgood/r62 is.

He says he's 20. Unfortunately since his credibility is in the toilet...

The two of them just won't shut up... And they still wonder what they did to piss Harry and the mods off

I know alot of people rag on the 1998 movie, but some of Toho's movies make it look like a master pecice. Two of them, for example, just shoehorn the big guy in. Godzilla vs the Sea Monster started life as one of Toho's King Kong movies, but changed thier minds. So, they stuck in Godzilla. problem is they never bothered to rework the scrpit, which still operated on principles of king kong. The Kaju version of Kong had electricty based powers. Why a giant monkey from the south seas uses electricty as a power source is beyond me, but that's Toho for you. So, they take Kong out, put Godzilla in, and he's suddenly using Kong's power set. It's like playing Super Smash Brother's with Mario sudenly acting like Pikachu. Then there is Godzilla vs. Megalon. That was supposed to intoduce Toho's robotic Ultraman knockoff Jet Jaguar. but they stuck Godzilla in anyway and gave him top billing, even though he's got maybe 10-15 mintues of screen time. and everything revolves around the robot. Heck, The lizard isn't even mentioned in the story until someone suggests Jet Jaguar go get him for help. I kinda like to think of this movie as "Toho's salute to our rivals", a Ultra knockoff for Tsuburaya, and for Toei, Godzilla finishing off the enimy kaju with a Kamen Rider style flying kick, which was used in the opening credits of MST3k from the start of season 3 till orignal host Joel Hodgeson left in season 5,

The LIRR Woodhaven station is about 4 miles away, in the actual neighborhood of Woodhaven. The closedt subway stations are Woodhaven Blvd on the J and Rockaway blvd on the A (where woodhaven becomes Cross Bay). The street used to be called Trotting Course Lane, a name an orphaned section of the original route still carries. the street never had an LIRR mainline station where the two cross, but there were stations in ether side of it, Grand Ave and Rego Park. But these both were only for Rockaway Beach Branch trains on the original outside tracks when the ROW was 6 tracks wide. Forest Hills was always the next stop for mainline trains leaving Woodside running local.

What would Woodhaven do to help Queens Blvd? That's on the Atlantic Branch.

Chargerdoge/jgood, the whinny cry baby, is bad mouthing this site on subchat. http://www.subchat.com/buschat/read.asp?Id=278956 little prick.

Look out the windows as the train enters and exits the station. There's space for the tracks to divert to the outside of the platform.

What I think he really needs to understand is that the way the subway is operated is roughly how it was designed to. Multiple lines merging in and out of each other. In the past, these were even more complex. You had 7th ave locals going to 242ns street and 241, and the same with expresses. Then you also had nearly ALL south Brooklyn traffic being routed onto the broadway BMT. The IND was drawn with a 6th ave line and an 8th ave line from each northern branch.

Part of the problem we're having with this Queens blvd issue is that by using the switches you are still slowing trains down significantly. Most of these switches are of the low speed. Trains can only cross them using thier first power setting, which is why that setting is called "Switching" sometimes. If every train has to use them, it will cut into the TPH. As much as 15 to 20%. They can't take full power till they clear the switch. Just running through the station as they do now removes that veriable. I'm still also trying to figure out what you have against Euclid ave. station is designed as a terminal. B'way junction isn't. That's another issue. I don't think B'way junction has crew facilities.

Many of us have very vivid imaginations, we just keep the crazy stuff to ourselves...

. Hudson yards are going to have ZERO effect on 8th ave , get that trough your thick head.

Some plans show it staying a stub terminal, some don't. guess the question is which version of the second system...

Since it went off the rails a long time ago... :Lock: :Lock: :Lock: :Lock: :Lock: :Lock: :Lock: :Lock: :Lock: :Lock: :Lock: :Lock:

Pot, kettle, black I remmember when you first came along...

well, the problem with wally is he thinks each of the fantasies will we welcome with open arms as making the subway better. He doesn't realize his plans will make life worse, or even have no basis in real life. Kept trying to convince everyone that using the upper level at Roosvelt Ave as a through station for a super express to Manhattan was a great idea. Never mind I told him about six times, on seperate occasions I might add, that using that station as a through station would require demolishing the mezzinine of the main station, and that there would be no way to acess the street from there. that little gem a page back is actually about four months old. He loves to make big, compliacated crap when a simple change would do. MTA considers running culver express service. Everyone else was ether in "G local F express" or "Add the <F>" camps. then Wally opened his mouth...

wally, we've had this conversation. We're not going to go down this road playing your stupid game. Stop it. They are not going to reroute a subway line JUST for a few buildings that are nowhere near the line in question. you want hudson yards, how about using Hudson Yards station.

what they're suggesting is a simple renaming. Leffert's A trains would simply wear the K bullet instead. I still kinda think it's pointless given the number of people who actually have the problem of confusing the two branchs isn't very high.

Here's the problems with your plan, Q90, in list form. 1. The B would not be recolored, as your idea has it still uses 6th as it's trunk. It would only be blue if running on 8th between W4th and 59th. 2. Service given vs service needed. The Rockaway line stations are ranked as follows Shuttle/Rockaway Park branch Rockaway Park/Beach 116th - 413 out of 421 Beach 105th - 417 out of 421 Beach 98th - 415 out of 421 Beach 90th - 411 out of 421 A/Far Rockaway branch Beach 67th - 399 out of 421 Beach 60th - 398 out of 421 Beach 44th - 416 out of 421 Beach 36th - 414 out of 421 Beach 25th - 408 out of 421 Far Rockaway/Mott Ave - 325 out of 421 (transfers from Nassua commuters help here) both Broad Channel - 418 out of 421 (most traffic is transfering between the shuttle and the A) Howard Beach/JFK - 347 out of 421 Aqueduct/North Conduit Ave- 372 out of 421 Aqueduct Racetrack - 420 out of 421 (closed for renovations) These numbers show not only just how low useage of the line is, but that it doesn't really matter where the service goes. There are A branch stations with lower useage than those on the shuttle. That doesn't justify ramrodding three lines onto the Fulton. Park Place on the Franklin Shuttle gets more passengers than some of these stations, it's at 392. Current B stations Brighton Beach - 124 out of 421 Sheepshead Bay- 114 out of 421 Kings Highway- 77 out of 421 Newkirk Plaza- 158 out of 421 Church Ave- 88 out of 421 Prospect Park- 165 out of 421 7th ave- 171 out of 421 Atlantic Ave- 25 out of 421 Dekalb ave- 85th out of 421 Grand Street- 47 out of 421 Broadway-Laffeyette 24 out of 421 These numbers show you are taking service away from much higher trafficed stations (not counting the transfers from Q only stations bound for B stations further up the line) to send to stations that just don't need it. 3. Operational capacity; Switching the B to 8th at West 4th will incress delays due to switching. You need to get the B between the 6th ave express tracks (only way to get to/from CPW) on and off the local tracks (only way to use the junction south of W4th). This will lead to more delay on the F and M. You are also stacking 4 lines onto the lower section of the 8th Ave. B, C and E on the local tracks, with the B and C using merging with the A at Canal Street. Incudling the B will also delay the C and E.

So what if he lives in Ottowa? that's not actually that far away. It's closer than Chicago... Just becuase it's over an international border is not an excuse right off the bat. And he wrote a 60 something page report on his idea. So it's not like he just showed up with a kooky idea, he showed up with a kooky idea and paperwork to go with it.

No, it's not going to be well recived becuase you've in effect RUINED the subway! Do you have any idea about the needs and wants of the people who actually use the system day-in and day-out? Have you done exhuastive stuides on when and where trains need to run. You've made crowding WORSE becuase you haven't taken in to consideration the human factor. Example, I live along the Myrtle ave line. When the MTA was considering it's 2010 cuts, they merged the M with the V becuase they found that the majority of M passengers wanted Midtown. Not the majoirty of passengers from Canarsie. They have also spent millions of dollars and years of hard work automating the Canarise line, so keep your mitts off it, bub. you posted the track maps, but did you bother to read them? Half of what your suggesting is physicly impossible, the system just can't do it. You want to avoid conngestion, so you require EVERY train on the second most crowded section of the subway to use the interlocking at Roosevelt. For your next trick, are you gonna try to put out a fire with Gasoline? Want to know a secrite, The reason the E is so crowded is becuase of the enormus amount of people who want to use it, not becuase of it's headways. it's also the track layout, the one thing you don't want to change. Jamaica Center was never inteded as a long term terminal, so the interlocking is too far from the station to be effective, which is what cuts the E's abilty to run, that's why the Hillside Es exist to. incresse E service, but to not clog up an underbuilt terminal. It's the same with the Nostrand Ave Branch of the Brooklyn IRT. Flatbush ave is a POS. To compensate, some 2s and 5s are sent to Utica and/or New Lots. They are also sent there because they are laid up for the night at Livonia yard for rush hour service the next day. Broadway junction was not ment to be a terminal so I don't know what you're doing there. What the heck was wrong with Euclid. you know, the one meant to be used as such...
