duelingdragons 0 #1 Posted October 22, 2009 Has there ever been a crazy enough G.O., or an emergency, that forced the to venture into Manhattan? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
INDman 412 #2 Posted October 22, 2009 I don't think so. Usually when something happens that really affects the , they stop all service. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

St Louis Car 09 21 #4 Posted October 22, 2009 Just imagine if there was a track fire on the and they had to re-route through manhattan via line.That would add more travel time to the already frustrated:mad: customer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EE Broadway Local 17 #7 Posted October 23, 2009 yes. this happened twice. when the used to run 6-car R46 Sets to/from Forest Hills on Weekdays, ive seen 2 Queens-bound trains run on the line in manhattan due to signal problems at Fulton St. that was back in 2000. ever since, i never seen it again. If I'm guessing right, the was sent via Jay Street, Sixth Avenue and 53rd Street to Queens Boulevard? That must've been something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pu3rToRoCk8947 0 #8 Posted October 23, 2009 I do recall back in 1996 or 97 when i needed to go to Queens i took a train at Smith-9 Streets,it was Rush Hour and some how something happened at Classon Avenue Station.The particular train i was on was rerouted over the line via 6th Avenue and back into Queens Blvd.You should have seen the looks on the peoples faces along the 6th Avenue stations as they was stunned to see the little orphaned train running on Manhattan subway tracks,that was priceless lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

metsfan 2 #11 Posted October 23, 2009 I think the first train nearing an incident is usually rerouted if possible before suspension of service. Our (NJT) train was moved around an amtrak train before they suspended service in both directions for 45 minutes to allow train crews to change trains without entering station. - A Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinnyBrooklyn 2 #12 Posted October 23, 2009 I was on a rerouted that went over the 6th ave line, got on at bergen street and stayed on to Rock center. May have been that one mentioned in 96 or 97 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LRG 216 #13 Posted October 24, 2009 I don't ever think the will ever venture into Manhattan again (if it hasn't already done so) because the length of the consist is too short. If there is a problem that would force the to short-turn (e.g. trains can't go past Bedford-Nostrand Avenues), they may have to clash some trains together and make them (F)s and have them turn at Forest Hills. That's the way I see it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruticus 0 #14 Posted October 24, 2009 One night I was working the on our last trip back to Manhattan we heard that someone was on the roadbed trying to touch the third rail, so they told the in front of us to punch for the at Bergen he got as far as Delancy/Essex and Control Center told him to discharge. People were not happy when i pulled into Bergen and told them no service for about 40 mins till they got the psycho off the tracks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill from Maspeth 1,424 #20 Posted October 25, 2009 With the viaduct project going on there is a tower operator at Bedford Nostrand Ave. to turn trains in the event of a service disruption. But in case a train is already en-route from Church Ave. and the blockage is before Bedford Nostrand, because of the 4 cars they would probably discharge the train and run it light via the F line and turn it back at Continental to get it back to Court Sq. for it's next trip. No G train is scheduled to go to Manhattan due to a GO. They would just suspend service and bring out the shuttle buses. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
