j express

We had an R68A on the tonight!

Why what's it for?

Blizzard-like conditions

Why would the  get suspended during Blizzard conditons?

Nothing gets stored on 8th Ave/CPW during Plan 4. The & uses the Fulton St express tracks, the extra tracks around Dyckman and Euclid, and Pitkin Yard (which is covered).

 

The only gets suspended during Plan 5, but during Plan 4, the will run express in Manhattan.

When does plan 5 take place in the winter?

Not true at all.MTA subway time showed regular service

Agree.

A Manhattan bound derail in the Clark street tunnel. The uptown tube is closed. and trains service in Brooklyn is suspend indefenitly until the recharge of the derailed is removed from the tunnel.

As an alternitive to and from Manhattan take the from Clark street-14th street.

I checked the MTA webstie and said nothing about the derail and mentioned only good service in the     . Where are you getting this information from or you are just making it up for fun?  

http://web.mta.info/nyct/service/fastrack_NQR.htmThe Broadway line Fastrack page is out.

The Brooklyn  section is extended to Court St which provides a transfer to the IRT.

I thought it's all R160 on the Brooklyn section. I also saw an R46 on the  this morning. It's so good to ride a R46  again since a month ago.

How did one R46 ended up on the Southern Portion of the  today? I thought it's 100% R160. Maybe there was a car shortage which caused this.

The J and the C are both 8 car trains. The total car requirements are exactly the same whether the C is 100% R32, 100% R160, or anything in between.

 

In other words, I don't know if the R42's are going to stick around until the R179's or if they're going to be retired sooner, but it certainly doesn't depend on whether the C is running R160's.

 

 

The flooding was worse and took longer to pump out than anywhere else. The longer salt water is in contact with electrical components, the more damage it does.

 

 

Any particular reason you're restricting that to one line and to one car class? It's pretty dreadful being in a hot car, on any line and of any car class.

 

 

I can't speak to this one in particular, but most of the recent timers have been installed to bring the signals into compliance with safety standards - that is, without the timer, there's a risk that a train that passes a red signal at max speed will hit the train ahead (or will come too close to comfort - I don't know what the safety margin is).

 

 

I got an email alert on September 10 at 3:35 PM about the service change starting the following day. If you're not signed up for email alerts, perhaps you should sign up.

 

J, M, and H often encounter similar GO's.

 

 

To allow work to take place closer to Court Street than can take place when trains are terminating there, and to reduce costs and crew requirements.

Can trains still terminate on Whitehall St on weekends when the tunnel is closed? Just in case when the South Side of the birdge need emergency repairs.

The CPW Fastrack page looks incomplete. I wonder why.

Oh man I saw 9453-9457 paired with 8683-8687 on the tonight!

I saw that set on the  last Tuesday.

Probably so people on the West Side who take the can make their way over to the instead, and reduce the inevitable load on the (2)/the shuttle buses.

The  dosen't even have a transfer point to the shuttle.

I don't undrstand why the 42 St Shuttle is running overnight for the CPW Fastrack? I understood why it ran overnight for the Lex and 7 Av Fastrack last year.

 trains are running local between Times Square and 96 St during the upcoming CPW Fastrack.

Trains run local in both directions between 96 St and Times Sq-42 St
 

Yeah I saw it too lol.

Is that an  or  ?

The    run entirely R160's. A R68/A could pop up on     if there is an R160 shortage.

When ENY R160 SMS ends? 

This is proof that jamaica R160's are on the   .

I remember that the first tome I rode the R32 on the    . I asked the TA's at Jamaica Center if any R42's run on midnight. They said try Wednesday, Thuesday, and Friday nights.

I heard that a few R32's have Metropolitan Av as a Southern destnation rollsign. Does anyone know the car numbers of the R32 that have this?

Kidding me?  Those four stations are packed every time I use the .

I agree that the Broadway Line needs two locals lines to serve the local stations.

I saw jamaica R160's on the    recently. Can anyone tell me the reason for this?

During this period:

 

runs in two sections:

Coney Island-Court Street station (Court and Jay Street-Metrotech are open during this time)

Canal Street (Tunnel level)-Ditmars Boulevard, Queens (lower Manhattan stations scheduled to be closed weekends remain such)

 

runs via 6th Avenue express to 57th Street station

 

runs via the DeKalb Avenue-West 4th, then via the West 4th to 71st-Continental. 

Excellent idea Wallyhorse!! Not too unrealistic or stupid.

One Weekend, the Manhattan bridge south tracks have a major signal problem that will last for the entire weekend. No trains can travel thorugh the Manhattan bridge south tracks for that weekend. The Montague Tubes is closed during the repairs. Reroute the      .

I know this is a stupid question but what are the names of the Tunnels that the use to get into/from Manhattan into/from Brooklyn?

   use Clark St tunnels.

   use Joralemon St tunnels. 

   use Cranberry St tunnels.
