    Looking forward to the Concourse Line FASTRACK for obvious reasons! As for the one-week FASTRACKs, I believe it'll be overnight hours only...

    With the deep-bored tunnels already set, the only possibility for capacity increases on the SAS (IMHO) is a pair of tunnels bored under the existing tunnels. Should MTA build extensions to The Bronx and/or Brooklyn, we can then consider this possibility (assuming further extensions of the or aren't enough).

    Hmm, I guess I'm thinking of a different area (the n/b trains I were on slowed down b/w Canal and just past Spring St and hauled b/w BB and Canal; this happened on weekends when the wasn't running to Manhattan and I waited at least 5 mins for a train). In the area in question, my experience is usually this: a bit slow until after the train bypasses the abandoned Worth St station, then regular speed. Never saw any timers there...

    25 would be too slow, especially going uphill. I understand the curves, but trains usually go faster through the curves bypassing Astor Place N/B. Random question: does the Bleecker transfer/construction have anything to do with the slowdown (assuming no new timers)?

    I noticed this on some rides myself; don't know about timers but methinks it wouldn't make much sense - the stretch in question is upgrade...

    I see! Thanks for the info!

    54, huh...requires just the right timing (wrap-wise) around the timed curve before skipping 155, I assume? The few times I've been lucky enough to ride Concourse Express trains with T/Os that "knew their timers" there were GREAT (if only they all went that fast)! Speaking of that, I have a question: how "fast" do trains typically go bypassing 167 N/B? That, to me, is the slowest stretch of the Conc Exp run (excluding the Yankee game double-switch)...

    As Brooklyn IRT said, cutting the is a HUGE NO-NO due to high ridership on the Jerome El (and it's still increasing). Increasing weekend service even to 10-min headways could alleviate some crowding...

    I think it's because of the need to complete station rehabs south of Bay Pkwy. Could be wrong though...

    Nice 'mod' of the FIND in that shot!

    I take it Fort Hamilton Pkwy on the (N) is your home stop?

  11. Concourse Express

    Heh :) Sure thing!

    Same here! So how was it up in my neck of the woods?

    And here's my laptop wallpaper:

    This is my desktop wallpaper: I may not understand a lick of Japanese, but I like Ayumi's songs - a lot! For the record, I don't play The Sims or World of Warcraft - my sis does!

    Understood; methinks a geographically accurate fantasy map will present quite a challenge! Over on Subchat some time ago, someone posted a geographically accurate subway map that took almost a year...

    What an impressive fantasy map! Some of those lines are quite far-reaching (definitely more so than those on my fantasy map; kinda makes me wanna go back and finish those revisions...)
