  1. Hi All Never thought I'll be back on the forums, but life can be funny this way. Took T/O exam back in 2017 and few days ago received the invitation to 180 Livingston for pre employment. (list #4705 fyi) In these years I have completed my BArch and been working in the design industry. It' a predictable 9-6, M-F routine with ok pay and eh benefits. Has anyone here left a similar field for a T/O position? What was your experience like? Two other questions come to mind: How much do you rely on the radio to communicate en route? Does anyone commute from NJ? Appreciate all the feedback!
  2. There is track work on CPW SB, which forces all CPW trains onto one local track, I think there is very little room to spare with all that switching and 10mph runs between 86 and 59th.
  3. Welcome to the adulthood, where no one will ever spoon feed you. Is it that hard to check the service status online, or planned service changes for that matter? Just saying, you got to be more proactive, and this isn't just trains. Relying that someone else will or must do something to convenience yourself is a blatant mistake. Making empty threats to state agency won't get you anywhere farther than NSA' blacklist.
  4. On top of that, there are terminal capacity limits on both ends of the line (esp. 242nd), which would prohibit any sensible service increase to counterweight the increased wait times at local stations.
  5. spotted the 32 signed as Z at chauncey st.

  6. Any chance of catching 32 on the BMT Jamaica line tomorrow?

  7. It is being built from ground up. According to latest article the station should be different from what was there before and is set to open next year.
  8. Rockland county transit is a POS.

  9. Good times, good times.

  10. montague tubes and lower bmt broadway are prime examples of how NOT to build subway.

  11. The stations along Myrtle El are in need of serious repair, which is conducted on station by station basis. For example Knickerbocker Ave was closed last year late in summer and opened in February I believe. Central rehab should be completed around late August, probably a little later.
  12. CPW 72nd to 96th cell service is up and running

      I'm not understanding why they choose R42's though. ?.

      Equipment familiarization. If you work the extra list and just happen to be working the J/Z and it just so happens to be a 42... The same night, I also saw a R68 about two stations behind it.

  14. How often does non-emergency G/O not make it to the service changes advisories? I just find it odd to see track panels, crane and other equipment by Brighton Beach station, and yet no track work is scheduled for the line.
  15. Ohh boy you have a great sight... There were 2 "recent" pushers, the rest are either suicides as of jumping in front of the train, or dumb/drunk finding their way on the tracks. The one that amuses me up the most is the one who went to get 20 bucks at 110th St. few days ago.
