Abba Posted October 15, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 15, 2009 So what is the longest amount of time you have been stuck between stations in a tunnel? And in which tunnel was it? I was stuck on a Manhattan Bound(N) train between 36th and Pacific.And between Franklin and Utica on a Utica bound ,both for about 15 minutes.,and they were both BIE.

bveguy Posted October 15, 2009 Share #2 Posted October 15, 2009 I don't think the TA would leave trains stuck in a tunnel, unless the train broke down and couldn't move anywhere or a train ahead and has to wait for the signal, otherwise in any cases like a bridge opening, all trains have to be platformed. The max time I've been stuck in a tunnel was at a red, which lasted about 30 seconds lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R62A 1991 Posted October 15, 2009 Share #3 Posted October 15, 2009 15 minutes, Fulton St to Broad St on a Bay Parkway-bound train this summer. An R42 went BIE northbound at Broad St, and everything halted. I've been lucky enough to not have had any other significant experiences of being stuck in a tunnel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7LineFan Posted October 15, 2009 Share #6 Posted October 15, 2009 Not exactly in a tunnel, but one time earlier this year I was on a Manhattan-bound train between Junction and 61 St when the train goes BIE. Got stuck there for about 20 minutes as local after local after local goes by. To this day I have no idea what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zman Posted October 16, 2009 Share #20 Posted October 16, 2009 Two hours and 10 minutes for me during a situation with an EDP and a train breakdown. Eventually somebody is going to chime in here who got stuck during the blackout. Breaks in Emergency. That occurs when the T/O's gotta go gotta go gotta go right now. BRAKES in emergency is something totally different, which is what BIE stands for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted October 16, 2009 Share #21 Posted October 16, 2009 Once on an train between Whitehall and the first stop in BK. Train went BIE several times between those two stations for whatever reason. Also on an train between parkside and PP after a big snowstorm, train kept on going BIE, took like 45 minutes IIRC. I know that once the train got to PP I didn't even bother coming to school just when back on the other side and went home.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted October 16, 2009 Share #22 Posted October 16, 2009 Coming home from taking pics of the Low V last Wed, I was on a Q train that was stuck outside of Dekalb for like 5+ min because of a 'sick passenger'. A few years ago, there was a stabbing on the 2 train that I was on. It happened in the very car behind me [i was so lucky that I decided to go one car to the front or I might've got caught up in the fighting]. So service was suspended both ways on Nostrand and they had to run a shuttle 2 between President and Flatbush. Eventually I got to Flatbush than to waste a transfer by getting on the B44. I think the whole thing took like 15-20min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRAKES in emergency is something totally different, which is what BIE stands for. I was waiting for that, too. The last blackout I was stuck on a train from 4:11 pm 'til my C/R and I were relieved at 10:30 am the next day. I can see all those prospective T/O s and C/R s never thought about that. You can not leave your train until you are properly relieved by a supervisor or another train crew, right Zman ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
