LRG Posted June 29, 2009 Share #2 Posted June 29, 2009 Hey, has there every been a General Order Detour via Crosstown line(Such as Stalled train, emergency, etc), which caused the to reroute over Manhattan via the ? Between Brooklyn and Queens For what it's worth I don't think so. However, I remember sometime last year an train was detoured onto the Crosstown line, bypassing Manhattan. But as far as I am concerned, I have never recalled the going into Manhattan, in any circumstance. What a weird subway route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R62A 1991 Posted June 29, 2009 Share #3 Posted June 29, 2009 If the railroad blows up on Crosstown, they shut the down rather than take it into Manhattan. But if 6th Av blows up, the goes via Crosstown. Weird, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North-Eastern T/O Posted June 29, 2009 Share #4 Posted June 29, 2009 If the railroad blows up on Crosstown, they shut the down rather than take it into Manhattan. But if 6th Av blows up, the goes via Crosstown. Weird, right? Not true I did once take my train the long way to CTL do to a problem in Brooklyn. Granted I was not in serivce, just light, but it was fun those. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3348 Posted June 29, 2009 Share #5 Posted June 29, 2009 If there is a G.O, they just either close down the , make it run in two sections or terminate it at Hoyt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or would that just heat up delays on the Manhattan IND MLs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinnyBrooklyn Posted June 29, 2009 Share #8 Posted June 29, 2009 I was on a rerouted G train, got on at East Broadway and got off at 50th street. Must have been around 1994. Think it was a bank holdup or something going on at Hoyt I don't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis1985 Posted June 29, 2009 Share #9 Posted June 29, 2009 once, in 2000. there was some track problem on the Crosstown line, so they ended up detouring the Queens-bound train via the line between Bergen St and Queens Plaza (back then when the used to run up 53 St). i dont know if they did that to all trains, or if only SOME Selected trains ran via the line. i know i saw it twice via the line that day.

Brighton Local Posted June 29, 2009 Share #10 Posted June 29, 2009 Back in 2004 or 2005, I remember witnessing a Not In Service 4-Car R46 travel Travel uptown (Perhaps Queens-Bound rather) on the 8 Av Line. I think I saw it at West 4 St or 14 St; one of those stations.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zman Posted June 29, 2009 Share #11 Posted June 29, 2009 I've operated the via Manhattan in passenger service a few times, due to stalled trains, back when the weekday went to Continental Ave. Mind you it was a 6 car R-46. I don't think they'd do it today because the train is too short and it could create chaos on the line as 8 cars of people try to fit into 4 cars.

If the was 6-car R46s or 8-car R32s then it wouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
