Ride on the (2); Bronx Super Express

[R62A 1991 2]

You'll notice in the first two videos that there is no program. The C/R didn't set the program until East 180th St:

|Bronx-7 Av EXP

|Eastern Pkwy Lcl

|Flatbush Av

 

While I was waiting at Chambers St. going NB, though, I saw THIS:

|7 Av EXP

|Eastern Pky EXP

|Flatbush Av

 

Anyway, Wakefield!

Tell me, which is better: "This is a Wakefield-bound train." "This is a Wakefield-Two Hundred Forty-First Street-bound local train."

If you want to go and take a ride with me...watch these 3 videos!

 

 

 

 

As you can see, a train with no one that is going via a Super Express is much better than one with people. At 3rd Av-149th St:

"This is a Mahnattan!-bound express train." So, there was a program for it.

 

Later on today, I got caught on an train that went BIE outside of Broad St, AND the Eastern Pkwy chaos today (power failure at Nevins St, signal trouble forced entire trains out of service at 5 PM, train to New Lots crush-loaded beyond belief). But I'm back home. And I hope to see some of you guys tomorrow for the West End EXP. Hope you enjoyed!

It annoys the hell out of me too, however because the goes to Flatbush from 6 AM to 8:30 PM 5 days a week, the stripmaps are forced to be switched to accommodate service. If the R142s ever get F.I.N.D.s, all of the R142s belonging to the & should be the first to get them.

Tell me, which is better: "This is a Wakefield-bound train." "This is a Wakefield-Two Hundred Forty-First Street-bound local train."

"This is a Wakefield-Two Hundred Forty-First Street-bound local train" sounds to long and complicating.

So if there was via WPR Exp during rush hrs with the WPR Exp, what will replace the trains for Local? Limited ? Bad idea, limied (2)s will just fill up stations between The Hub and E180th(Or Gun hill Road) Even limited (5)s wont do.. Let it be as is now!

To bad that was going to happen back in the 90's but it got rejected so I guess you're going to have to deal with it like everyone else. I want the to be express via Hillside Avenue but thats not going to happen!

Sweet to see a R-142 desingnated for the on the Line! Nice photos and videos as well, whats with the Super Express?

 

It was two G.O.s combined into one. Trains ran express from 241st St to East 180th St, but also from East 180th St to 3rd Av-149th St. Just a G.O. during the midday.

The and regularly swap trains, so that's not even an issue. Everytime I worked those lines (now only I get stuck on since I'm mostly east side Extra-Extra), I have always gotten somewhere on 1 of the trips, a train that belongs to the others line. Flatbush dispatch puts those trains in according to which train suppose to leave 1st. They ain't worried about if it is a or line train, even though we do punch at Newkirk which line we are, before entering Flatbush........

If the MTA find the money they should implement FIND in R142 and trains. Its not even funny

It could happen but only put-ins allow for that service. They could extend the , to make the express though, but it's bad enough that the MTA's idea for bringing the to Brooklyn is being shot down, so I won't be surprised if this is struck down as well.
