UlmerPark B6 Posted September 26, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 26, 2009 I found a good link on the website detailing the rehab project. http://www.mta.info/nyct/service/bqLinesRehab.htm#details Also, the ( and train will start bypassing Avenue H and Avenue M on Sept. 28 but the trains will still run local. I do not know why they are telling people from Avenue M and Avenue H to go to Newkirk Avenue, people from Avenue M and transfer at Avenue J.

Pu3rToRoCk8947 Posted September 27, 2009 Share #4 Posted September 27, 2009 So far this rehabilitation project has been very interesting,i was wondering about that temporary platform at Avenue J.I'm going to be riding on the Brighton Line this week,i will see if they did anything else interesting.It looks weird not seeing Coney Island bound Avenue U and Neck Road Stations,i mean just with the platform supports and concrete slabs it looks like an abandoned stop lol.I didn't read on the specifics on this project,are all the stations getting the rehabilitation treatment?

LRG Posted September 27, 2009 Share #5 Posted September 27, 2009 All stations will be getting renovated, or at least the ones that need it, such as the ones from Prospect Park to Sheepshead Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Local Posted September 27, 2009 Share #6 Posted September 27, 2009 All stations will be getting renovated, or at least the ones that need it, such as the ones from Prospect Park to Sheepshead Bay. Newkirk Av to Neck Road only.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTrain Posted September 27, 2009 Share #7 Posted September 27, 2009 Stations such as Newkirk Avenue, Avenue H, Avenue J, Avenue M, Kings Highway sure have a lot of repairs ahead of them. Church Avenue still doesn't have that tactile yellow warning strip around the edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattTrain Posted September 30, 2009 Share #10 Posted September 30, 2009 I actually drew some track maps as of how this layout is as of today. Forgive me if I have any incorrect information. To understand this map. The colored lines are tracks used in service, the black lines are tracks not used, same color code goes for platforms. The green line over the platforms is the overpass. Prospect Park-Church Avenue Beverley Road-Newkirk Avenue Avenue H - Avenue M Kings Highway-Neck Road Sheepshead Bay-Brighton Beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanfortitude Posted September 30, 2009 Share #11 Posted September 30, 2009 i love the detail on that, Matthew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTrain Posted October 1, 2009 Share #12 Posted October 1, 2009 Thanks for the compliment, Stan. Here was what I was drawing in my last post. 1. ( service makes all stops between Brighton Beach and Prospect Park going to Manhattan. 2. service skips Avenue H, Avenue M, Avenue U, and Neck Road, going to Coney Island ( still terminates at Brighton Beach) 3. service moves away from the local track to express just after leaving Cortelyou Road. The "local" track is connected with the "express" one by a curve. The construction crews sliced the two downtown tracks and connected the express track (near Newkirk Avenue) with the local track (near Cortelyou Road) The remaming two pieces of track were replaced with bumper blocks. 4. Avenue J has a temporary platform at the "Manhattan-bound" express track with an overpass at the north end. 5. Kings Highway also has a temporary stretched platform on the Manhattan bound side. Again Manhattan bound express track is covered with this platform, while the Coney Island bound platform is out of service. Coney Island bound trains use the express track.

Fresh Pond Posted October 1, 2009 Share #13 Posted October 1, 2009 If you look at how the temporary platforms are built, its actually sitting on wheels on the track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted October 2, 2009 Share #14 Posted October 2, 2009 How come the ( can't be express between Prospect Park and Newkirk Ave? There not doing any work there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted October 2, 2009 Share #15 Posted October 2, 2009 There are no switches between those stations. The next group of switches after Prospect Park are at Kings Highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted October 2, 2009 Share #16 Posted October 2, 2009 True. But Coney island bound they switch from local to express at cortelyou. So why cant they make a switch manhattan bound so the( could run express from Newkirk. And Coney island bound the ( could simply just stay on the express.

The TA probably figured its only 2 stops in each direction, plus every Brighton station now could use whatever service they can grasp during this time.

Grand Concourse Posted October 2, 2009 Share #21 Posted October 2, 2009 I really have to see those for myself in person. But that's just brilliance on the MTA's part to make the platform mobile like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Local Posted October 2, 2009 Share #22 Posted October 2, 2009 Can you imagine, once the Coney Island-Bound side is complete, and Manhattan Bound (&(Q)s will begin to operate on the Express Track from Brighton Beach to Newkirk Av, perhaps they'll push the platform down to Prospect Park, and relay it over to the Coney Island Bound Express Track!, and push it back up to Avenue J. Thats some weird photos opps there.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
