GojiMet86 Posted January 6, 2023 Share #28701 Posted January 6, 2023 Is there a way for me to get a specific train car number for a specific subway trip from the GTFS feed? I can see trip_id, but that doesn't tell me if it was car 9033 or 8667. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustTheSIR Posted January 7, 2023 Share #28702 Posted January 7, 2023 Off topic question: does anyone know the site that you could choose different times and see New York back in that time. I wanted to see how the Els went across Manhattan again but couldn’t find the site 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is some truly fascinating stuff. Incidentally, it helps explain why the building I currently live in has so much space all to itself. It was once a yard, likely to receive freight. Some nearby buildings that still exist -- in addition to some now-demolished ones -- may support this, as they seem to be reception facilities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No house or apartment numbers with it. some do... ideally if they actually occupy a property lot and also, I guess, if there is someone inside that would be required to get mail, like, say the NYPD transit bureau stations or a retail outlet. for example: Rockaway Park is 238 Beach 116th Street. Stillwell Avenue is 1243 Surf Avenue. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulturious Posted January 10, 2023 Share #28711 Posted January 10, 2023 It's funny how even with the giant mistake of running a mix consist that could've costed someone's job, along with millions of dollars probably if things ever went horribly wrong, from a passenger standpoint, it ran pretty much fine. It's unfortunate that stuff like this was just an oopsie. However, this just raises a few questions: How has nobody else caught onto that? What was it doing along QBL when it was out of service? Why was it even in QBL in the first place? Outside of the confusion, would it be possible to run again if there was no second set of the same type of fleet when a train is needed? Pretty much something similar to what Jamaica and partially Coney did with the R160A/B mix. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the ones accessed street-level station houses (Sea Beach, Dyre Ave line, most of Brighton, etc.) would be because those station houses are often flanked by other properties with addresses, unlike most underground stations accessed by stand-alone stairways in the sidewalks or mezzanine-level el stations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was an accident that should NEVER have left the yard! you guys all just assumed it was an intentional test. Provide proof or a fact sheet… because the TA ran a mixed consist OOS via Queens Boulevard as well… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the TSS who handled it. The yard dispatcher should have never let the train out of ENY. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted January 10, 2023 Share #28717 Posted January 10, 2023 Put it this way... I thought everything was fine and dandy with it myself... until I mentioned it to another TSS while sitting next to him talking in the crew room. He said 143s and 160s can't run together. I show him the video. His jaw drops and not in the good way. A few weeks later, I ask the other TSS on that line and shift what happened and he explained the yard dispatcher made a mistake. While the crew should have called it out, if it was on the put in sheets, that's what they do. this falls mostly on the dispatcher for failing to correctly assemble the train. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lost another one. It can still be called the train if it’s light rail. My preference would have have been for modified subway trains too, a la SIR, but they eliminated that option back in the earlier feasibility study (from last January). I honestly don’t think the choice of light rail is bad (I’m sure glad they didn’t choose BRT!) 11 hours ago, JustTheSIR said: The SIR, which has been forgotten multiple times by redditors as well: *sad Staten Island noises* SIR is light rail? Since when? I’ve always considered its modified R44s to be heavy rail same as their NYC Transit counterparts. Same with the R211 cars which will be replacing them and the R46s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off topic, but my city (Houston Texas) is building a large BRT network, but a few people think a city of 2 million people (7 million in the greater urban area) should be building heavy rail for some reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
