NX Express

Theres a R44 signed up as in CIYD. You can see it on a Astoria bound between Coney Island and 86th st. I was gonna get a pic but an OOS R46 blocked by view .

A T/O probably had nothing to do.

Damn it I cant resist these :cool: 1 more sign R160 style:

 

 

Local

 

PELHAM BAY PARK

LEXINGTON AV LCL

PELHAM EXPRESS

VIA EASTERN PKWY

VIA ATLANTIC AV

 

please try not to combine any of the frames and make the green, and designation letters amber. BTW in the route part just put a instead of squeezing a diamond in there

He's already backlogged with too many requests for now. Let him finish those signs before requesting more.B)

Not to mention it should be taken by the person or credited to the person that took the pic.

It should be taken BY the person. Look at the title of this thread.

Go to the image, click "Save As", save it wherever, then go to your sig, use option 2 to select it, then click upload, then click save signature.

May I request a SMALL-SIZED sign with the following amber text:

Astoria-Ditmars

{Next Frame}

Broadway Local

{Next Frame}

Jamaica/Myrtle Local

{Next Frame}

Astoria Local

{Next Frame}

If you have a list

{Next Frame}

of all R160 FIND Readings

{Next Frame}

Please PM Me.

Feel free to make the text thin if necessary.

Sorry for the unusual request, and please note: the is yellow.

I'm a little sketchy about having the line serve the Food Center and Clason's Point. I have it run on Lafayette Av since it serves more heavy residential areas (like the housing projects by Rosedale Av) and more popular places (like Stevenson and Msgr. Scanlan HS's).

 

As for the Melrose MNRR stop, my Morris Avenue stop's entrances would be at Park Av/161st St and Morris Av/161st St.

I guess, since I don't live in the Bronx, I'm not too good with this kind of stuff. Agreed.:tup:

Reading the map, the best option would be to extend the over there. It would split off the Concourse Line at Yankee Stadium, then run on 161st, 163rd, and Lafayette Avenues before terminating at City Island. It would serve portions of Soundview and Castle Hill and Throggs Neck that are south of the Bruckner Expressway as well as serving as a South Bronx crosstown line serving the Courts and Hunts Point.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. You may be right about the Astoria extensions; I am still unsure of the best approach to go about filling in the extension, but I'm sure the is fine.

 

The in this map doubles as a sort of feeder line shuttling people in currently underserved areas to the Merrick Boulevard, Van Wyck Expressway, Jamaica Avenue, and Queens Boulevard lines. The rationale is: if the ran along the entire length of Queens Boulevard as a local, most people would take it begrudgingly and get off at the nearest stop for a transfer. Thus, my decision to make the serve an extension on its own makes it useful.

That's not necessarily a good thing. If the goes where nobody needs it to go, all the extension passengers are merely going to transfer for another train whenever they get the opportunity. Especially in NY, one seat rides are always best.

As for the Astoria extensions, I don't think having all the Broadway lines go to the same place is a good idea. I am, however, open to the idea of connecting the Crosstown line to it (a probable expansion), or resurrecting the Queensboro Bridge as a structure for subway traffic (which it formerly was) and connecting the LaGuardia Airport to the 2 Avenue line. I still have a rule against having more than 2 routes per pair of tracks for any line regardless of the headways though, and so I might do something crazy line remove the from Harlem and extend it from under Central Park to the LaGuardia Airport; I always thought the two station stub was useless anyway.

 

By the way, can anyone spot at least 2 mistakes? I was adding, moving, and deleting lines but forgot to move some dots representing the stations.

Another idea...maybe a line to City Island, or to {the area east of the line in the Bronx}.

I find the extension rather pointless, since the doesn't go to Manhattan anyway. If necessary, the and should switch east of Jackson Heights/Roosevelt Avenue.

Yo, this is what's up. Highly exceeded what I was expecting. :tup::tup::tup: One question though, how can I upload this while keeping the animations, so that I can use it as a sig here?

You either have to resize it using an animator program or ask IRT Bronx Express to make a small format sig. Example of the latter is in my signature.

Can I request the following two signs?

Both small format, no flipdot, with the route letter in its respective color and the destination in amber:

First sign:

To Hylan Blvd

Queens Bl Super-Exp

6 Av Local

via SI Mall

Second sign:

To 263 Street

Brighton Express

( 6 Avenue Express

3 Avenue Local

If it's possible, please don't merge any of the frames. Thanks a lot in advance!!:tup:

Does anybody kno the update of BP and wat will happen to the QBx1 RTS since Fall 2010, its gone.??

The QBx1's RTS buses will be put on the Bx23 or the Q50 (the two new routes that will be formed after the QBx1's end) unless they get scrapped.

...

1. Very informative post.

2. What happened to the "and the other letters in the regular R160 destination color" part of the request?

What?

He's talking to IRT Bronx Express.

Can you make me the following sign:

Queensboro Coll

Culver Exp

8 Av Local

Queens Bl Exp

It's based on my fantasy map, and can you make amber colored, signature sized, and WITHOUT a side flipdot please? Thanks!

I dont know why?

Did you upload it to Photobucket, Imageshack, etc.?

The pic isn't showing.
