: Suspended.: Northbound via 8th Avenue, southbound via 8th Avenue to Rutgers Street & Culver Express.: 57th Street-6th Avenue-Jamaica Center.: Via 53rd Street eastbound to Queens.: Chambers Street-Metrop. AvenueWhy not run the

Also, as a note, the
& are 12 TPH, not 15. The 6th & 8th Avenue locals would be too frequent.The schedule says they're both "every 4-6 minutes". That would imply that at the peak, each is every 4 minutes, or 15tph.
How would the locals be too frequent? 25tph (
+ ) or 21tph ( + ) isn't that frequent.Since, nobody has posted a scenario,

LOOK AT THE TRACK MAP: Link
The ONLY way to loop through Coney Island is by having it single track for a considerable amount, and COMPLETELY screw over the
and trains. Coney Island was built as a terminal; not as a loopty loop for you to have fun with.If trains from the
to the go via Track 1 (the east-most track) and trains from the to the go via Track 4 (the west track) this would work, with the only consequence that and trains only have one track to terminate (I wouldn't call that 'completely screw over'.In fact, that's how it worked when the
was through-routed via Coney Island for a few weekends in 2006.EDIT: Here's a diagram:

A police issue has knocked out service between Union Square and Grand Central. The switches north of Grand Central CAN be used, but Lexington Avenue line trains can only go into the very north end of the station if needed to get past the switches. The
station at Grand Central is also impassible.At the same time, a derailment at the 5th Avenue Broadway Line station has knocked service out there (57th/7th and 60th/Lex CAN be used) AND a rail condition has knocked out 6th Avenue express service going uptown.
Re-route accordingly, however, the

Uptown trains run via the from West 4 St to 59 St. Uptown trains run express from Canal St to 59 St. Uptown trains run local in Manhattan. Trains run via 53 St to not interfere with the and maximize trains through Court Sq (for transfers from the ). No trains between 57 St and 71 Av.NEXT
