So the MTA doesn't know the difference between their and there? That's pretty sad.

They were installed after two major crashes (Union Sq 1991 and Williamsburg Bridge 1995) so that trains would slow down in dangerous places and not crash.

You're lucky, I was rerouted to the Sea Beach two days ago because of a code failure on the west end (the entire west end from 9Av-62nd down in both directions). I didn't get to 40 at all, but 160s commonly enter 59th at 41.
A bit OT, but what's a code failure?

Due to mechanical problems at Broad Channel, Downtown
trains are terminating at Howard Beach.Please expect delays in
train service at this time.The

The closest analogy to the M14 A/D would be the M34 / A.
One thing that always puzzled me, looking at the map, is why the M21 connects with the 14A and 22 but the M14D does not. Is there any particular reason for this?

Actually, the ratio of
's to 's should be 3-1, so that's normal...It can get very frustrating though.
1st
: okay I missed a , it's fair for an A to pass now.... a few minutes later...
2nd
: these s must really be rare......a few minutes later...
3rd
: I could have walked to the next express stop by now, but I know that as soon as I leave the station to walk the train will come. (where is the :mad: smiley?)0 -
There are the switches the
uses to enter 59 St, so those are IMHO some of the more useful timers in the system.0 -
normal on 6th Avenue and then operates via the

is reduced to 300' trains and runs from Coney Island-Botanic Garden station, terminating on the Prospect Park-bound platform. runs as a single, two-car train between Franklin Avenue and Botanic Garden, terminating on the Franklin Avenue-bound platform at Botanic Garden.Re:
: a train can't go from the to the . Check a track map.Re:
Why do you keep suggesting this? A 300' train won't fit into Botanic Garden station anyway.NEXT

There is structural failure on the Jerome Av EL between 161 St and Woodlawn. This structural failure has also caused the 125 St, 138 St, and 149 St to lose power.

Washout at 23 St.
cannot pass the area.0 -
Remember that the
is running via the on 6 Av, so the would not fit there.If the
runs via 8 Av (as stated), it does not interfere with the , nor the . The next best alternative would be to cut it to Broad St and increase service north of Whitehall (that would probably be better, as a matter of fact), but Wallyhorse wanted to keep the in Midtown.0 -
In this case (2 Av line to 125 St) it's not possible, since there would be nowhere for the trains to go once they hit 125 St. If there were a yard there, sure, it would work. Without one, it's impossible.

Downtown trains run via the , then , between 59 St and West 4 St. No trains between 34 St-Penn Station and 168 St. No trains between Broad St and 71 Av. Trains in Queens become ®s between Whitehall St and 71 Av.
Solution to my problem:
Trains run via Broadway Express and 63 St, then via the to 179 St. Shuttle trains run between 205 St and World Trade Center. Trains run via 63 St and Broadway Express to Pacific St. No trains between 42 St-Bryant Park and 179 St. Use the and transfer at 34 St for alternative service. No trains between 71 Av and West 4 St. Trains run via the between Dekalb Av and 57 St in both directions.NEXT
Because of a washout, the 53 St tunnel is unusable between 23 St-Court Sq and 5 Av, inclusive.

The 59 street Columbus Circle Station is closed on the southbound side, and no trains can pass through. Only the 2 current northbound tracks can be used, but all trains have to go through in both directions
I'm assuming you don't mean the
station, but only the IND stop...So:
Trains run local in Manhattan, but downtown trains skip 50 St. No trains between 42 St - Bryant Park (downtown express track) and the Bronx. No trains north of Chambers St. Uptown trains run via the from West 4 St to 145 St. Downtown trains run local on CPW.Downtown service:
After 72 St, trains switch over to the uptown express track and stop at 59 St. Then:
trains continue wrong-railing on the uptown express track to 34 St, after which they switch to the normal track and continue service. trains wrong-rail on the uptown track (unused by uptown trains) to 42 St, and then switch to normal service toward Brooklyn.I chose to have the
go through and cut the instead of having each line run some ridiculous tph (as during wrong railing, a manual block system would probably be used).NEXT
Because of a mechanical problem, 6 Av/53 St Junction is impassable.

This is interesting:
Due to a water main break between 51st St and 59th St, please expect delays in both directions on
, 
and 
train service at this time.How is service not suspended?

How would the trains get back to where they came from? There's no yard on either end of the line.

Okay, let me try to solve my own and yours.
Mine:
After 47/50 Sts, trains run via 63 St and then the to Queens. Trains run express in Manhattan south of 145 St. Trains run between 205 St and World Trade Center, via local. Trains run via 53 St. Extended to 95 St, replacing the . Trains run via the from Atlantic Av-Barclays to 47/50 Sts St, then via 63 St and the to 71 Av. No trains between Times Square-42 St and Astoria. Trains run via the tunnel. SuspendedSummary
B/D replace E in Queens.
E replaces B/D on CPW and in the Bronx
N replaces R on QBL
J replaces R in Brooklyn
=======================
Your puzzle now:
No trains between Wall St and Eastern Parkway. No trains between Bowling Green and Nevins St. If 30tph can reverse at City Hall Loop, they can at Bowling Green.=======================

via 8 Avenue Local via 6 Avenue Express (switches to/from Express) at W.4 Street and 42 street select via 6 Avenue Express and Express on West End while others on Crosstown. Half of current F levels while run on 6 Avenue Every other train past Myrtle Avenue Service North of 42 street Suspended via 6 Avenue Local and select via Express
How would the
go 8 Av to Manhattan Bridge? And WHY would you send the express, if it has to be on the local at West 4 St and 42 St anyway?Re:threxx
"1. Did you not read it properly? I said the
would go southbound via the & , it's not using the bridge...2. The
would terminate on the 7th Avenue tracks using the switches there. Some trains also use 53rd Street to alleviate crowding. "What 7 Avenue tracks? At 21 St-Queensbridge?
And also, what woulds serve the southbound

First: how would the
get from southbound 8 Av to the Manhattan Bridge?Second: how would the
