5870-5877 from Pitkin to Jamaica  this week. 

Does anyone have any details about the Queens Blvd shutdowns when they used to do it due to the 63 St connector work before 2001?

I mean the baseball specials have to line up on the middle track before the game ends to get ready and lots of Yankee fans rely on the  and where would the specials come from if you cut off Jerome Yard access? There is a major reason why they want the running normal in the Bronx when there are a Yankee home games.

All R32s are still on the  and  

@m2fwannabe Any R46 transfers recently since the 3 set of R179s went into service on the ?

Woid is there will be six trains moving to Jamaica as new R-179's are accepted for .  If so, that would be 5846-5893.  Let's see how it plays out.

 

Would there be any transfers  from jamaica to Coney or Coney to Concourse?

3230-3237 is now in service on the  

3070-3073 is doing burn in on the  now and it’s coupled with 3146-3149 from ENY

I wouldn't be surprised if 207th keeps 3070 - 3073... so they have an spare 4 car set. If not, out of 11 trainsets I would imagine only 8 or 9 sets would be in service on the  at most with the other cars as spares or getting inspected in the shop.

Looks that way for now. I saw 8 R179s on the today but only 3 R32s on the and 1 R46 on the . 

Anyway. I wonder where 3070-3073 will end up if 3230-3237 is doing burn in right now.

The R143’s ARE reliable and NO R46’s are leaving Pitkin. NO car transfers are happening until R211’s pass passenger testing and is in full time service. If you don’t work in RTO in the B division, don’t assume, that’s how rumors and unnecessary banter starts. Thanks. 

Don’t be so sure. Anything can happen in Transit. 

3222-3229 now in service on the

What I'm thinking, is whether CBTC on the El would allow for any capacity increases at its southern end. If I remember correctly, the tracks at CI are currently maxed out in terms of capacity, and that's with 20% of trains being turned at Kings Highway. If the issues are mostly at the terminal, then I doubt CBTC will help much. But I believe the slow curves at West 8th Street might also contribute to the low capacity.

Edit: I'm sorry, I didn't realize this was the R179 thread. This should probably move over to the Subway Capacity thread.

I think it has to do more with the placement of the switches between West 8 St and Coney Island.
