How would the
train terminate at Jay Street? There's no switches for it to switch to the opposite track.Arrive at Jay St, reverse, wrong-rail/single-track to Hoyt St, keep wrong-railing (but without getting in the way of Jay St-bound trains) to the stub track at Lafayette Av, switch to Queens-bound express track, resume service.
Since you didn't post a scenario,
NEXT
Because of a washout, the Broadway Line is out of service at 23 St. Note that you must have all three Broadway services reach Midtown, and all lines in the outer boros must maintain the same level of service. Since this is a long-term change, you may be liberal with service changes. Use 6 and 8 Av to their full potentials.

Suspended. Trains run in two sections:......207 St to Chambers St.
......Jay St (Manhattan-bound track) to Queens, every 10 minutes. Jay St-bound trains run local between Euclid Av and Hoyt St. Queens-bound trains run local from Utica Av to Euclid Av.
Additional
service runs between B'way Junction and Queens.NEXT
Because of a washout, the 8 Av line at 23 St must be taken out of service. Because this is a long-term service change, reroutes can be a bit more drastic than usual. However, NO Transit Museum use, wrong-side Nassau St use, etc.

I think we should have a separate thread for foam competitions.
ANYWAY...
Both tracks on the TOP level of Queensboro Plaza N/Q/7 are unusable.
Trains single-track through Queensboro Plaza. To accommodate this, some northbound trains terminate at 57 St. No trains north of 57 St. Some northbound trains terminate at 42 St.
To avoid overcrowding the N, trains run in two sections:......Main St to 74 St.
......74 St to Times Square, every 15-20 minutes, single-track between Hunterspoint and 33.

Because of an incident at 23 St, the uptown local
track is not usable.Please foam as much as possible.

What machine never breaks down?
The thing is that they break down less frequently than the older cars.

By the
train being affected, I assume you mean that it can't use the inner loop at the South Ferry station, and that the Bowling Green station is unaffected? (because you didn't mention the ) terminates at Rector StreetYes, I meant the inner loop.
As I said above, Rector St's single switch can't handle the 20 tph of the

You're right.

The MTA decides to rebuild its worst stations from scratch. As a result, South Ferry
, Chambers St , and 21 St 
are closed. Note that the SF loop can be used (not the loop station, but the tracks).1 -
The single switch south of Rector St would not be enough to handle 20tph
service.And I suggested Brooklyn Bridge as that's cheaper for the MTA then sending the
all the way to Flatbush Av.0 -
Even simpler than that NX. Remember when Coney Island was being re-built? The only catch is that both the and the can go to it. to Neptune/Van Sicklen Av to Ocean Parkway
B68 provides alternate service
How would the
turn around? What about the ? to Rector St to New Lots Av via the Bridge
Canal St to Rector StHow would the
turn around? How would New Lots handle the (I assume you mean 5, not 4)? And what would a shuttle accomplish? Passengers can take the 4/5 and transfer at 14th or Atlantic.0 -
The
together is around 40 tph. Terminating the in Manhattan won't work, since the three lines will have to cross somewhere.Since this is a long-term service change, here's what I'd do:
to New Lots Av local south of 42 St terminates at 14 St terminates at Brooklyn Bridge instead of Bowling Green weekends Runs local on Broadway to avoid switching Runs via the bridge. If the fit into the 60 St tunnel, they can fit onto the bridge.1 -
No trains between Kings Highway and Brighton Beach. No trains between Brighton Beach and Coney Island. No trains between Av X and Coney Island.

Because of low-quality construction, South Ferry station floods. This affects both the new station and the loops.

All I'm trying to say is that a bunch of people thought the stuck
would not block 6th AND 8th Av service, but the nycsubway.org diagram shows that it would.The diagram shows that no matter what, there would still be at least one path for trains to go through. Sure, it may block both regular
and regular service, but it's not like no uptown local trains can move through the junction.0 -
It's not going to kawasaki, which is why the contract was put on hold, kawasaki threw a fit. and what the hell are ya'll talking about. after 2009, everything went downhill. all these NTT's suck ass, they fail on spot numerous times.
, People who like NTT don't know nothing about real equipment, People who like what MTA is doing don't know anything about a REAL Transit system, they ruined everything.And yet they have the lowest MBDF of any fleet in the system.
As for 'real equipment': the MTA doesn't cater to foamers. You want some old cars that are about to fall apart, go to a transit museum. Let the MTA provide the equipment that works best for its passengers.

Wait a second. The nycsubway.org map doesn't show anything of this sort. Where did you get this picture?
I made it myself.
But if you look at the nycsubway.org map, that's what it shows:

That looks interesting. You said cannot terminate, not cannot pass, so here goes:
