Sea Beach Posted December 24, 2009 Share #6 Posted December 24, 2009 wait,if the got sent to 2 ave,then the must've been sent via Culver to Kings Hwy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted December 24, 2009 Share #7 Posted December 24, 2009 Not enough trains, though Church Av might've been ideal to terminate the if they wanted it to be running. I'm thinking the was cut so that W4th would not be clogged up due to the having to switch from the 8th Av line [tying up the ] to 6th Av [tying up the ].

If it was going NB before the incident, it went to 71 Av then to the yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
