Those things r barrier springs

Basically, from 1/4 to 1/2 mile (5-10 city blocks). Do the math for express stops/gap stations.

Yes, I really do want to see how they make out for the sector between 42-23rd, where there Broadway line is as much as 4 (!) crosstown blocks away. Generally speaking, these plans will highlight the lack of easy connections in Brooklyn...like there is no direct connection between the IRT and IND in Brooklyn (which was basically what you were saying) and even the IND and BMT one at Jay St is brand new. The IRT and BMT connect well, the BMT and IND only has Jay St, the IND and IRT has connections in Manhattan only, and the Fulton Mall area isn't exactly safe at night for walking transfers. I wonder if they indeed will actually close all 4 tracks on the 8Av line because of this, as it is easy to leave one local track or the other open and just ask people to backtrack from W4 and Jay, with the idea that while all four tracks cannot be worked on, at least in Manhattan 3 can be closed off and 2 worked on without the need for flagging protection.

That's the HVAC compressor starting up again.

Which is true if all four tracks are closed. With the width between them at times, one of the tracks (either local) can remain open with work freely going on the two in the opposite direction. Its more of a hybrid setup, but all options are obviously on the table now. Flagging rules only call for personnel and equipment when trains are on the worked on track or the one next to it. A "buffer" track is almost never used, however.

Its overnight, whether a particular tube can even handle an extra line shouldn't even be brought up. The idea for the 8Av shutdown would be © over 6Av from 59-Jay (the can terminate at 2Av). The makes up the missing West side service easily, and can be accessed from 59-CC, too. The © stops running early enough, with both last trips living just after 10 from both ends. The runs slightly later, but doesn't even get into downtown Brooklyn.

Well for awhile, the reroute scenarios have been getting lamer by the page, and involve things that are virtually impossible (a manhole explosion putting all of Long Island City in the dark along with the services that run through there? lol). Its like people are trying to put stuff that will stump people completely no matter how whimsical it is.

LOL! Need several manholes for that!

RCC = rail control center (which is separated into three divisions, A - IRT, B1 - BMT, B2 - IND)

Dont see anything wrong or strange with anything you said.

Oy vey. Anyway about 12-7's (police investigation), they can consist of "informal" train checks by a couple of cops (which are seldom called in by veterans that know they'll only be held there a minute or two), and formal expansive train checks by noticeably more cops (usually four or more) that are usually called in, a badge number given, and a report is generated at RCC that translate into the emails and website posting customers see. They also typically check multiple trains as well in a row. Of course, as many of you know, 12-9's are also considered police investigations to the public as they do involve police, and they don't want such sensitive information from getting released to the public anyway. In fact, less than half the 12-9's that occur even make it to sites like this and subchat (about three 12-9's I know about in the last week or two I never even bothered to post it here). I'd say less than 1/4 or 1/5 of them make the news as sometimes someone isn't enterprising enough to leak it to them. Police investigation is the term used to cover anything that isn't mechanical in nature with the trains or signal system.

In other words, he wanted to know what exactly happened at Avenue M, as if every time "police investigation" is posted it means 12-9.

Yup, just didn't get the connection between the other BMT areas and Culver. Also on another recent scenario, Smith-9th is not above 4Av, so I do not know how rubble from that station found its way over 1/4 mile way into the 4Av area, but carry on Also for those that wish to know what the BMT el's are, those are: from Marcy Av to Met Av/121st. Queensboro Plaza to Ditmars Willets Pt to Court Sq (BMT el, IRT stations and line, of course connected to the Astoria el) 9Av to Bay 50th Brighton Beach to CI CI to Ditmas

The Culver el is also BMT.

Ok, we going too far now, why don't we just say a nuclear warhead hit the Empire State Building and rendered all train service in Manhattan unusable?

With the dose of fantasy in this thread, this might challenge that IRT board/guess location threads for most posts in awhile.

A tsunami would have no effect on tunnels built in the bedrock below water.

Extended to Forest Hills-71. to 53rd-Lex, relay north of the station. via 63rd, 6Av local to WTC. runs full length trains.

On the first one: No change. via tube. Can't afford the service reduction in Brooklyn along the Brighton. All Broadway trains via Local. If all three services can fit through the 60th tube, they sure as hell can fit through the Montague. On the second one: Local 145-168. 57/7 - Brighton Beach, express Manhattan, express Brooklyn, via Bridge. Bedford Pk/145 - WTC, local, except nights. 205th - Euclid, express Manhattan, local Brooklyn, nights to WTC. Parsons/Archer - Coney Island, express Queens/63rd/Manhattan/4th Av via Bridge/West End, local in Brooklyn nights. 179 - Kings Hwy/Coney Island, express Queens/53rd then normal.

Or better yet, keep it to yourself. Some random thoughts are better not even being said. Especially now with ATS and NTT you gave them a station and time, that's actually enough information to peg down an interval and BAM! I do miss the late PM and midnite runs where typically newer train operators would be on the rails and MOVING them trains and sometimes every now and again a door panel would be out or overshot the [10] and the customers would turn the other way or just head to the doors that are open (pre-enabler trains the T/O would just stand in front the door panel), just grateful that they got a fast crew trying to clear or make those local station stops bearable. Now its snap snap snap ooooh lookie here (and straight online or straight on here or subchat or wherever. Now the customers turned what would have been a slap on the wrist into a major suspension because it was not called in. It IS easier to just come out the cab and cut out a door panel or two instead of going through the whole key open door process. So, in the future, keep all infractions you see to yourself, or if you must vent, keep it so vague that management has nothing to go on. Thank you

Tw/o does do the move, the punch is to let Queensboro know that you are indeed a . The other way for it to get back to its line in Brooklyn is for it to continue down 63/6Av, crossing over to the express tracks just before 47-50, between 42 and 34 or just below west 4th. Up and over the bridge and stop at Dekalb.

One or the other train could be late or early...

Yet another timer entering prince s/b now B)

It took three diesels to haul the four car set outa there, likely destination according to ATD was 207 yard. I was on them in school car, they charge up and move, but evidently not safe enough to transfer them under their own power.

He did something actually illegal, since the train was in full service brake (~80lbs), he can let go of the master controller (what you call power handle) to catch a nip of hand rest. As the train responded to the brake request (for a good braking R32, don't need full service to stop even on the post in that station), he had to hold down the deadman again to "bleed" (reduce braking power) the brake off, if he didn't the train would go into emergency (chow). It is illegal for T/Os to release the deadman while the train is in motion, and when caught doing so, is taken OoS immediately. It is thought of giving up control of the train. Of course many of us do it anyway (keeping our hand hear the deadman even though we let go of it already so it looks like we're still holding it down), as it is difficult to catch. The more common occurrence is using full service to make a final stop (and a jerk) by taking all the brake and releasing the deadman at once. The result is a jerk of the train (how severe depends on the train).
