NX Express

Extending the is realistic.

Seriously? Extending a 150-ft train is realistic? Especially considering that the headway barely meets demand as it is, you want to lower it further?

The 72nd Street/CPW station is closed due to an issue in the Dakota Apartments that police are concerned could spread to the station below if it were open. The local track is unusable because of this, however, the local tracks north of there CAN be used, including the crossovers to/from the express tracks, which ARE usuable.throughout. Also, a separate issue has 59th Street-Columbus Circle closed with all trains (including the ) passing through the station, but not stopping. (I had posted this one earlier, but no one had responded to it).

 

Trains skip 72 St. I think 32 tph can work in this case because there are no stations on the express track there.

NEXT

Because of a police investigation, the Eastern Pkwy express and Brighton tracks are closed and impassable in the vicinity of 7 Av. The local tracks are fine.

Reroute trains, keeping tph in account. Please avoid through-running or extending the ...it's not realistic.

terminates at 14th Street.

runs with the to South Ferry.

 

I had in mind to terminate the at Wall St - there is a crossover south of there (it's not shown on the track map).

That would give people the one extra transfer to the at Fulton St.

Yes.

No service between 86 St and Brooklyn Bridge. The last stop on some southbound trains is 149 St. The last stop on some northbound trains is Bowling Green (wrong-rail via the loop to relay) or Wall St (use crossover).

No service south of 59 St. The last stop on some southbound trains is 86 St.

No trains south of Hunterspoint Av. Passengers are encouraged to transfer at Queensboro Plaza to the .

No peak express service. Use .

Suspended obviously.

Clark St is impassable. Challenge: you can introduce no more than one additional transfer for people who normally take the .

Please take TPH into account. Wallyhorse: you can't fit the (60 tph) onto one track.

The can go on 6 Av to Queens Plaza, with a walking / transfer between the two sections.

Why not use Whitehall?

No service between 96 and 14 St.

No service between 96 and Chambers St.

Take tph into account when rerouting.

via the Grand St to Coney Island (West End Local)

 

via the Canal St to Kings Hwy (Sea Beach Local)

 

via Culver Local to Kings Hwy

The would have to run via the on 4 Av, since + + + = 32 tph, which is over capacity.

Are you sure they merge, because I am sure all that happens is that there is a switch track that allows the to go Brighton Local.

 

Well, they merge in one direction, and split in the other.

PROSPECT PARK................./--------------------- PARKSIDE AV

Here's a rough sketch of the tracks used by the B and Q. The other tracks have been omitted.

The express and local merge south of Prospect Park.

The thing was probably only a few trains, not a long-term change.

Because of a terror threat, all stations named Avenue U are impassable. Nearby express tracks are affected too.

Impassable:

Av U

By just north, I meant the interlocking that leads into Coney Island.

Couldn't the also turn at Bay 50th (Manhattan-bound platform)?

And @trainguy: Brighton can't handle all on one track.

NEXT

West End and Sea Beach are both closed just north of Coney Island.

Time: 3 AM

Expected duration: 24 hours

Will Nereid Av handle all of the and trains?

There are no R46s in CI Yard (the s are from Jamaica, no)?

Art Vandelay has repeatedly stated that it would be 260 4-car sets, with no sources whatsoever. Since the idea makes no sense, I'll stick to the conventional 250 5-car sets idea.

I guess the train is actually between 33 St and QBP. Therefore there is only one track open between 33 St and QBP, so trains have to single-track and terminate at QBP.

Next:

 

Work on the World Trade Center has knocked out the 8th Avenue line and Broadway-7th Avenue Local south of Chambers Street (the Broadway-7th Avenue express to Brooklyn is unaffected as is the Broadway Line via Montague).

Suspended. trains make local stops.

No trains south of Canal St. The last stop on some southbound trains is 34 St - Penn Station.

No service between Whitehall St (trains from 71 Av run via the ) and Broad St (trains from Met Av run via the ). Transfer at Canal St.

Trains run to New Lots Av.

Trains run local in Manhattan south of 42 St.

No service south of 14 St.

PS @ Wallyhorse: Why are you so obsessed with sending trains to the Transit Museum? Face it - they won't move all the trains (to where, anyway?) for a temporary disruption.

NEXT

Work at 7 Av and 53 St disrupts subway service. 7 Av/53 St is closed and impassable, and trains cannot go between 49 St and 57 St on the Broadway Line (assume trains can enter 57 St, but not use the switches south of the station).

Just curious - what changed between 1959 and now? In 1959 (IIRC) buses ran every 2 minutes. Now, people are considering eliminating the route altogether.

Good luck with the 600-ft , with 75-ft cars, to Metropolitan...

Next:

 

Water main break at 5th Avenue and 14th Street has closed the Union Square (4/5/6/L/N/Q/R) and 6th Avenue (F/L/M) stations and trains can't run into those stations, nor can the B/D run on the express tracks under 6th Avenue. PATH is also affected by this.

Pay them and they will preserve all the cars you want.

What the person was saying was that there does not appear to be a CI - (B'way) - 21 St program.

What I don't understand is why not just terminate the at Jay during those times - they can use the crossover south of York St. It'll be cheaper because the runs less often than the .

That GO is actually at all times - checking the timing, the never stops at those stations in that date range.

How would the get from 8 Av to the Manhattan Bridge? Check a track map - it's impossible southbound.
