Abba Posted March 27, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 27, 2011 Current Service Status / Subways-L Posted: 03/26/2011 9:26PM MTA Service Notice Due to a police investigation at the Halsey Street Station, there is no(L) train service between the Bedford Avenue Station and the Atlantic Avenue Station. Please expect delays in service on trains at this time. I heard on my scanner that this required an evacuation somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexington Av Local Posted March 27, 2011 Share #2 Posted March 27, 2011 Evacuation + Police Investigation? Sounds serious...a 12-8 maybe? If service was cancelled from Bedford to Atlantic, it's pretty damn serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If service was cancelled from Bedford to Atlantic, it's pretty damn serious. Originally it was only from Myrtle now it's from Bedford.They can't even terminate at the Junction Manhattan Bound because power is off there.Twitter says that someone was struck by a train.

Lexington Av Local Posted March 27, 2011 Share #5 Posted March 27, 2011 What's a 12-8? Armed Passenger. It's the only thing i could think of that could result in an evacuation, a bomb threat maybe?.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgor Posted March 27, 2011 Share #6 Posted March 27, 2011 Armed Passenger. It's the only thing i could think of that could result in an evacuation, a bomb threat maybe?.... Yeah, probably an armed passenger. That's much more likely in Brooklyn, and I really doubt there'd be a bomb threat at a station in the middle of nowhere. Bombing the line would have little to no effect on the operation of other subway lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombing the line would have little to no effect on the operation of other subway lines. It could also be a 12-2 (fire) or a 12-6 (derailment). I'm putting money on a 12-9.

4P3607 Posted March 27, 2011 Share #10 Posted March 27, 2011 I'm putting money on a 12-9. Wow... I've lost count on how many 12-9's there have been recently. But I would be scared s***less if I was in a 12-8! :eek: And how could there be no service all the way to Atlantic Avenue? were they terminating Shuttle buses @ Atlantic rather than Bway Junk? & Also were they running a shuttle between 8 Avenue & Bedford Avenue (Single track)?

CTK246 Posted March 27, 2011 Share #15 Posted March 27, 2011 Jesus no man! Not the sixth millionth 12-9 in two years! On a side note, I get pissed off when people give subway lines full names... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelham Bay Dave Posted March 27, 2011 Share #18 Posted March 27, 2011 Yeah that was a bad 12-9 south of Halsey. My train was turned at Mytle but I went into the power off area so that ended the turn arounds at Mytle. They had to evacuate customers on to the roadbed and they waited for the Medical examiner. The whole thing was 3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexington Av Local Posted March 27, 2011 Share #20 Posted March 27, 2011 I'm sorry, but what is standard procedure for a 12-9? I ask because out of all the 12-9 threads i have never seen, there was never talk about evacuation on to the roadbed or cutting off power to the area. Nor was service cut from almost the entire borough in which the line runs...There has to be more to this than just a 12-9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From seeing Pelham 123, they name a train after it's time it left the terminal. Hence a leaving Pelham Bay Park at 1:23pm.

w8Hou Posted March 27, 2011 Share #25 Posted March 27, 2011 And the reason why it cause the mess...

The man, who was not immediately identified, leaped in front of an oncoming L train inside the tunnel near the Halsey St. station in Bushwick shortly after 8 p.m., authorities said. He died at the scene. Sources said the man assaulted his ex-girlfriend inside her apartment after she rejected his pleas to take him back. She was not injured. After he left, the man went to the subway station and dropped to the tracks from the platform. He walked down the tunnel before he jumped in front of the oncoming train.
