Melvin Posted July 10, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 10, 2009 Woodlawn-bound trains run express from 149 St to Woodlawn Weekday, 10:30 AM to 3 PM Mon and Thu, until Aug 24 Trains stop at Burnside Av. For service to 161, 167, 170 Sts, Mt Eden Av, 176, 183 Sts, Fordham, Kingsbridge Rd, Bedford Pk Blvd and Mosholu Pkwy, take the to Burnside Av or Woodlawn and transfer to a Utica Av-bound . For service from these stations, take a Utica Av-bound to Burnside Av or 149 St and transfer to a Woodlawn-bound . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1447 Posted July 10, 2009 Share #3 Posted July 10, 2009 I doubt this is another Pilot Program seeing that this is during Midday Service, which could be construction. Similar to the (5)s version from Gun Hill to The Hub But i could be wrong tho. Seeing its on a Monday/Thurs Wats funny his those whos going for a Yankees game need to go to Burnside after 149th St lol! This is why the Mets are better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoodciti Posted July 10, 2009 Share #7 Posted July 10, 2009 Last night around 7:40ish i a took a Bronx-bound and after 149 the train only stopped at 161, 167, and then Burnside then went out of service. This was also indicated on the strip map. Is this usual for the like when some 138th Street bound trains run express between E180th and Gun Hill Rd.( via White Pl. Rd.) then terminate.

That issue is to get to the Yard: Would end at Burnside, then head for Concourse or Jerome Maybe fordham too on the other hand would end at E180th for Union Port For Thru White Plains Rd that ends and Gun Hill is for direct access to 239th yd instead of ending at 238-WPR also there is no 138th bound you mean 238th..

KTrainExp Posted July 10, 2009 Share #9 Posted July 10, 2009 This is not a pilot program. This is construction for the (4)'s entrances to Concourse Yard. Saw some workers drilling few days ago and they're not finished because those terminal flags are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted July 10, 2009 Share #10 Posted July 10, 2009 For some reason the fact that Woodlawn is going to eventually see the and scares me. Don't get me wrong, I really like the idea, but it can't handle all those trains, unlike Flushing, which has three tracks. Woodlawn only has two.

KTrainExp Posted July 11, 2009 Share #11 Posted July 11, 2009 You're thinking about the massive yard delay. That's one problem that I see...I always see a train being layed up outside of the middle track at Woodlawn and Yankee Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted July 12, 2009 Share #12 Posted July 12, 2009 You're thinking about the massive yard delay. That's one problem that I see...I always see a train being layed up outside of the middle track at Woodlawn and Yankee Stadium. I can possibly see the plan working, for the following reasons: 1. Let's say it's p.m. rush. and trains will be running. These trains will be alternating of course, so when a train leaves, you'll obviously let a pass and a will soon enter. So let's say that combined, the (4)/<4> runs 25 TPH (it probably doesn't right now, but let's say that it will). This means that the will run 13 TPH, and the will run 12 (because local stations need their passengers without a doubt). At Woodlawn the trains will become the , but I can see that as the p.m. rush is winding there will be less need for extra trains so how the extra cars will get back to the yard beats me. This is why I think the program may not be pulled off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KTrainExp Posted July 12, 2009 Share #13 Posted July 12, 2009 Plus, there's construction going on the yard which creates MASSIVE congestion. The workers drill the tracks while a waits at Bedford which poses a problem to this plan if it was in place now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
