You don’t even have supporting facts to make such a claim bro. 🤦♂️ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dude with a toolbox had come by and they kept the train there for a few minutes that ended up delaying a behind it. The car numbers were 2832-2833 IIRC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, being taken out of service versus BIE are very different occurrences though. I’m not saying I don’t believe you, it’s hard to believe a signal malfunction, a trip, debris, or someone pulling the emergency cord led to that discovery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried already, it only lets you give feedback on streets not subway lines for some reason. I just put it under Myrtle Ave and got definitive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean the info boards at Coney Island, those were programmed when the was a Broadway Local (between 2010-2016) and the programs simply weren't updated after the 2016 service changes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R68OnBroadway Posted March 22, 2019 Share #20788 Posted March 22, 2019 Are there any timers around 49th St on the ? It seems to always drag through there and also seems to have really slowed down between 57th and 96th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to always drag through there and also seems to have really slowed down between 57th and 96th. Northbound there’s a one shot in the station (49), a set of 2 shots between 49 and 57, and then again a one shot in 57. Southbound there are a bunch of 2 shots entering 42. Those all predated SAS, and AFAIK there have been no changes made since SAS, so sadly can’t speak to the runtime issues.

Northbound between 57/7 and Lex/63 that curve has 2 shots almost the entire way, i think those were put in during the 2016 rehab/resignalling of the BMT 63rd st connecto. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any reason for them to be there? Seems a bit unnecessary given the switches are rarely used at 57th and none are located at 42nd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are holdovers from the era when the turned at 57, but if I had to guess the majority are mitigating control line deficiencies (areas where the signal design does not provide enough stopping distance for safety) meaning that removing them would be complex. Expect the majority to stay until CBTC or some other major resignalling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted March 24, 2019 Share #20794 Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Not sure when this started but Bedford Av on the inside the tiles are off on the side and lights in the middle are all off, temp lights were on on the bulbs.

I saw this at least back in late February. While it sure doesn't look good I find it...kinda interesting to see the station practically gutted while still being open. A peek behind the curtain of sorts, IMO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted March 26, 2019 Share #20797 Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) R188s are coming out clean other than the 160s at C.I Yard. Some units got washed on the outside looking brand new. Also, for those interested in G/Os, R142As on the .. may come back....this weekend Edited March 26, 2019 by Calvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielhg121 Posted March 26, 2019 Share #20798 Posted March 26, 2019 My friend sent me a picture of a new R46 floor. It’s gray and has black specks. Also on another note, some of the R160’s like 8653-8657(I believe) have like new interiors. It’s Similar to 8722-8727, the one that got security cameras and all that. I only realized by looking at the ends of the cars. Idk how to describe it but it’s not exactly a new interior lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
