NX Express

That's more than one platform, you know... No trains between Brooklyn Bridge and 86 St. Some northbound trains terminate at Wall St and use the diamond, others terminate at Bowling Green and wrong-rail via the loop. Trains run via the in both directions in Manhattan. No trains south of 59 St. The last stop on some southbound trains is 86 St. No trains south of Hunterspoint Av. Suspended. NEXT Because of a structural failure, all express tracks are unusable at W4 St. The local tracks are not affected.

How about this? Runs via 53 St Run via 63 St Problem solved.

23 tph on the entire QBL line? That's even worse. It's easier than you think.

How will the and merge? And having 23 tph on QBL Exp won't work.

How would the fit on the express track? How would the and merge if the switch is unmovable?

36 St, Queens. And I mean both B Division Court Squares: Court Sq and Court Sq .

They can be spiked once, but once set they cannot be moved.

No trains south of Church Av . No trains south of 62 St. No trains south of 18 Av. No trains south of 8 Av. No trains south of Prospect Park. NEXT Due to a fire in a control room, none of the switches between Court Sq and 36 St can be moved.

Well, after he told us that, your solution works. Who wants to post a next scenario?

Except for the fact that there is no service along the CI-bound line in Brooklyn, yes it works.

Want to bet? How would the turn around at West 4 St? How would the B run from 8 Av to the Manhattan Bridge? Reducing F service from 15 tph to 3 tph is very unrealistic...

If you mean my scenario, yes.

That could really use a check on the track map: the can't get to the Manhattan Bridge from 8 Av. My solution (in essence, 6 Av is closed): Trains operate in two sections: .........Bedford Park Bl to 34 St/Herald Sq .........71/Continental Av to Brighton Beach, via the in Queens and in Manhattan. Replaces the in Queens. Trains run express between 59 St and Canal St. No trains between West 4 St and 34 St / Herald Sq. Transfer between sections via the A, C, E, or F. Trains run via the in both directions between Roosevelt Av and West 4 St. Trains run to Chambers St. Transfer at Canal St for service for nearby stations. NEXT Due to a track condition, 6 Av can only fit 5 tph per track.

No trains between Queensboro Plaza and Queens Plaza, via 53 St and 6 Av. Transfer between trains by walking or using the . Runs via the between 63 St and 47/50 Sts, then via the to Dekalb Av. Service ends early between 71 Av and 36 St (Brooklyn) Service ends early. NEXT Current service. Nassau and Broadway FasTracks occur at the same time.

Wouldn't the Jersey Street loop line be the S42 or a version thereof?

Thanks Matt! PS Can you add a note on the white section with something to the regard of ' J N Q late nights only' ?

It's really unrealistic and foamy. NEXT Due to police investigations, the uptown local tracks are impassable at 23 St and 23 St .

Low ridership/lack of money/insufficient capacity during rush hours.

You went Riverdale > Washington Hts via Midtown?

What's wrong with this picture? Due to track maintenance at the E 180th Street Station, please expect delays in downtown trains and train service in both directions at this time.

May I have a sign? <-- Local.................................Express --> ................................ The , , and on a night background if possible, if not then on a white background. Everything else on a black background. Thanks!

My wording must have been off - I meant to avoid through-routing to the Shuttle line. @Your scenario: Trains rerouted, after 135 St, to 3 Av/149 St to provide extra service to the Bronx and avoid delays at 142 St Junction. No service between 149 St - Grand Concourse and 86 St. Selected trains run local between 42 St and 86 St. The last stop on some northbound trains is 59 St. Trains run via the in both directions between 149 St and Nevins St. No trains south of 3 Av - 138 St. NEXT Due to a switch failure, the northbound express track is closed at 34 St - Herald Sq (6 Av platform). Be creative.

I'm sure there was a forum thread on it, complete with photos...

15 tph on the Lexington express? I'd send the to Borough Hall. There is a crossover there, after all.

That changes nothing in my solution, except that trains run via Brighton Local. NEXT Due to track maintenance, the entire Eastern Pkwy line (local and express combined) can only fit 16 tph / direction.
