Operated for the first time brighton exp...sweet stuff...51 at newkirk n/b 46 a piece s/b at newkirk and sheepshead bay.

I hope you would operate the ( more often, so far most of T.Os weren't that great speedwise. Hopefully I'll catch the right ( sometime soon, afterall it is my home route.

is it possible to make a canarsie exp in the underground parts by doing it like the Lex between Grand central and 125 st, under the track

Unfortunately no, there are no extra "express" tracks and there were never any plans to have them.

If you mean adding express tracks by building some, then you can forget about it, it will never happen under any circumstances.

A healthy read

What a terrible morning commute was today. First 6th avenue, we were crawling between W4 and 47/50 sts, but at least moving. Then came 8th avenue at CPW, which got the crown. It took no more and no less than 30 minutes to get from Columbus circle to 135th. Apart from terrible signaling, we almost tripped and T.O. had to climb down and check. Still made it on time, time managemet FTW.

This whole thing looks spooky to me, but not surprising. The media probably couldn't get enough coverage on the shooting to have it published or maybe there is police involved. Either way I wasn't able to find anything relevant on the internet about the incident.

That link just leads me to a blank page.

 

Fixed it.

 

But that article is vague, it's short and in terms of location, it never gets any more specific than just "Brooklyn".

This article is bit better

Wow, I had no idea there was a shooting there this morning, this is the first I heard about it.

Same for me

BTW did anyone else see R68A with blue seat? Last time it was coupled with lead car 5058.

Obviously not, 60th was designed for subway cars as opposed to Steinway being built for trolleys. I just wonder how 'fast' those R142As will be allowed to run compared to the R62As.

Most likely just as fast, counting if tunnel doesn't start to deteriorate at faster rate, because the dimensions are almost the same and cars are lighter.

I would love to hear one day a Conductor say "Please stand clear, the doors are closing. Please hold on." just like on JFK Airtrain. It would make my day.

Nowhere near as funny as someone covering the "Es-" in "Essex" or putting "Sex" instead of paint on the "Wet Paint" signs. The Facebook page that I saw it on is long gone, though....

Well I didn't even notice "wet pain", until now. I was more focused on R68 on the part.

I would like to see one of those someday.

pic is not mine.

Another silly question, are there any timers been recently installed on Brighton line, esp. approaching Kings Hwy, Atlantic Av and leaving De-Kalb Av?

P.S. Anyone else notices shaky ride on Manhattan bound ((Q)trains leaving Prospect Park.

I am wondering, what is there going on, on 14th and 23rd streets that makes Jamaica bound skip those stations.

Jamaica-bound trains skip 14 St and 23 St

Nights, 11 PM to 5 AM, Tue to Fri, Jul 5 - 8

It's been like that for couple or more weeks, whats going on?

Thats a similar situation with the ( 95% of the time the entire consist has the incorrect northern terminal some may say 145th some say Bedford I don't ever recall seeing an entire ( train with the correct terminal.

Don't mean to interrupt but that is an oversimplification, i constantly use and there are at least 3-5 sets always with correct terminals, not everyday, but it's not 95% either. I agree though that it is annoying especially when they are different in the same car.
