Redbirdfan33 Posted January 25, 2011 Share #11 Posted January 25, 2011 I had to wait about 2 hours on a LIRR M1 that lost power when I was about 6 years old. It was between Woodside and Kew Gardens. This was on a hot summer day which really sucked. It was also the same day I saw an M7 test train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No has to be in a tunnel.You had the option to leave, unless the door was closed. I got stuck on the Sea Bitch Line (I call it that b/c service can be a B on there sometimes), I got home at 11PM. Each stop took about 20 minutes to get to. It was all thanks the power out on the Manny B. EDIT: Whoops I wasnt stuck in a tunnel but outside . Well I still got stuck... With Sea Beach... Outside is like in a tunnel.Just you can listen to your radio talk on the phone etc..So i'ts not as bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattTrain Posted January 25, 2011 Share #22 Posted January 25, 2011 Two weeks ago headed to Brighton Beach on the (, the train was right behind the train already stuck at DeKalb Avenue due to a sick passenger at the station.

And MattTrain probobaly they were diverted to 4th avenue.That's the only other option in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
