  1. What's incorrect about saying diesel engines have slower acceleration than EMUs? That's a fact. These is the same LIRR that has refused for decades to electrify the Port Jefferson and Oyster Bay lines. And they want to buy those new diesel engines and only 20 new coaches. They also cancelled that BEMU project.
  2. They are looking at 90-01 168th Street for the new site, which is the parking lot between 90th and 91st Avenues, and 168th and 169th Streets. This is right behind Marshalls and Reymour Flannigan. This will actually be closer to the train that 165th Street was. Looks like Jamaica Avenue and Hillside buses will come up 168th and go down 169th.
  3. Alon doesn't pull that information out of his ass. Time savings from EMU acceleration and deacceleration vs. Diesel performance has been studied thoroughly. Has it crossed your minds that maybe American railroad experts aren't as great as as Japanese or European railroad experts?...
  4. https://maps.nyc.gov/then&now/ Check out the aerial photos from 1924, those are the earliest available in this website.
  5. Is there a way for me to get a specific train car number for a specific subway trip from the GTFS feed? I can see trip_id, but that doesn't tell me if it was car 9033 or 8667.
  6. I tried accesing the service change map for this weeked, but I was directed to the MTA's internal mercury page: https://mercury.mta.info/nyct-subway/planned-work/7670

  8. Delays trains are running with delays in both directions after multiple incidents along the line. What Happened? Emergency teams responded to someone struck by a train at 59 St (Brooklyn) We moved a train that had it's emergency brake cord pulled near 39 Av (Queens) We addressed a mechanical problem on a train at 23 St (Manhattan). EMS responded to a passenger in need of medical assistance at Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr Posted: 12/12/2022 10:38PM
  9. Real time arrival koisk at Mineola, from NICE Bus's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl14zBbPoMd/
  10. The are in a bit of a sh*tshow right now. There was both a track fire and a train with mechanical problems at Chambers Street, along with a train with emergency brakes activated for a person who needed medical help at West 4th Street (that is what is written). MTA just says avoid these lines.
  11. Wondering what the numbering for the New Flyers would be.
  12. Nope, it's still running. You can check on Transloc and see buses still moving: https://sct.transloc.com/
  13. Saw this video of Redbird 9075 getting taken off property.
  14. So what is 26001? Ugh, it messes with my OCD, lol!
  15. That's gonna be a hell of a transit and shuttle operator behemoth. First Transit is also very big in the UK (it started out as Badgerline in the city of Bristol); this is the French taking over the English.
  16. I've heard the announcement change on the Jamaica R160Bs as well, so it's not just on the Lexington line trains.
  17. If you're doing this from a computer, don't copy the url of post; rather copy the url of the image. Go directly over the image, right click the image, and click on "Copy image address". Then paste that. So instead of thisurl : imgur.com/vEtWI3n You end with a url that looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/vEtWI3n.jpeg When you copy it and paste it directly here, it should automatically convert it into the photo:
  18. West 8th Street, Sheepshead Bay, Kings Highway, and Beverley Road are also pretty good stations on the Brighton. On the West End, 9th Avenue is a must. 18th Avenue is pretty good, although I fan the Brighton way more, so I can't speak for other West End stops. 34th Street-Herald Square has enough space on specific ends. It gets harder with the 1/2/3/4/5/6 because the platforms are almost exactly the same length as the trains. I do think South Ferry has decent space.
  19. I heard Alabama had been added for the workers at ENY Yard and the depot.
  20. The exact same photo, except with a , also from the NY Post.

  22. Luggage bays are opened at stations, so the bay doors are not sticking out on the road, which would be disastrous. Racks on the sides of a moving bus would be a dangerous animal.
  23. The and run more 46s now than R68As and R68s. There was a shift some months ago when I noticed this.
  24. Happens a lot when they cross the Queensboro bridge. I've seen it with the Q101 and Q32.
