Add the N Line at Kings Highway with a tree down and N Line via the D Line in both directions.

Got caught in this one while on an that was rerouted to the and then to the at 36th. Curious that it wasn't posted online.

Was riding the from downtown into Brooklyn, and the train converted into a sardine can at Jay St/Metrotech. I've never seen so many confused people asking "How do I get to the ?!" in my life!!!

South Brooklyn was a shitshow this morning. Ugh. 

My God Brooklyn was a mess this morning. 
 

Due to signal problems at Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr, the following service changes are in effect:

Some northbound  trains are running on the  line from Coney-Island Stillwell Avs to Astoria-Ditmars Blvd.

Northbound , ,  and  trains are running with delays.

Allow additional travel time.

They were originally calling this a "sick passenger" when I was on the train. Maybe that changed? 

Bad day to be on the Broadway line today! Atlantic-Barclays 4th Ave platforms were totally filled up.

I can't find it

Just got caught in a subway fire at Bay Ridge Ave. Pic is in the gallery.

What the hell is going on on the Fourth Ave line? Every and was backed up to Kingdom Come this evening rush. I think six trains passed us at 59 Street before an came. Any word?

Jesus Christmas. My commute is gonna suck!

It seemed slightly askew but not a major derailment by any means.

Stalled at Atlantic-Barclays today around 7:30pm. I had the "fortune" of seeing it today; they had to evacuate via the front car. says there's "track work" going on in that area. Anyone have any info?

So they must have turned off the third rail? Or was that just a pretext?

I was just stuck at 59 St (Brooklyn) because of a power failure on the third rail between 36 and Atlantic Ave. and where delayed a solid 20-30 mins. 

What the hell happened on the yesterday? It was so packed at Wall Street people were close to falling on the tracks.

Lord in Heaven the IND is having a bad day today!

Building a completely new NYC El in today's century is not a good idea. A new subway or a rebuild of the original El is more likely to happen.

Why? It's cheap and far more efficient and more aesthetically pleasing than either of the other ideas. 

Anyone know what caused the fire at W4th? Seems like the worst possible place for a fire where it would affect the entire IND.

B division.

Why must you mention 1st Ave every post you make?

Perhaps build a second tunnel directly below?

Yeah I really wonder what that would look like. I've always admired Stockholm's subway for its bare-rock architecture. But New York loves its glass and steel!

Guys, stop acting like you know what you're talking about when it comes to fault lines and geology in general. That's a non-issue here because the engineers at the MTA work around it, and the host of other problems Upper Manhattan has in its topography.

East Side Access is suspended?!

Though, really, what's the point of that project?

I looked and can't seem to find any data on that. Anyone got any ideas?

Guys, sending the down Water street makes far more sense in terms of population distribution. I didn't realize this until I actually started working on Wall Street. The population concentration of actual workers (not the stockbrokers at NYSE or the gobs of tourists looking at said NYSE) is heavily concentrated toward the shores of the island. This is why (among other reasons) that the Nassau St line is so little used, because its right in the middle of a dead spot in the neighborhood, near Broad Street. Having a dedicated subway line more toward the shore would aleviate the congestion on the IRT down there (yes the , as well) and give the UES the option for Western AND Eastern Lower Manhattan. This may not seem like a big deal, especially since everything is so tightly packed down there, but every block closer you can get counts. And when there's so many skycrapers and a non-grid street system, walking somewhere that looks like a short distance on a map may be far longer on the ground than it seems on paper. 

And, of course, Hanover Square needs a subway stop, there's no question about that one.
