B3 Via Av U Posted July 3, 2012 Share #1103 Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) So to clarify the discussion in the subway Fail Thread: Everyday rider: Okay, here's a that's taking me to Herald Square for work. Railfan: Here's a train using track A4 on the Brighton Line. He overran by 4 inches. R68A #5032. I am the latter. Edit: My 300th post!

Railfan: Here's a train using track A4 on the Brighton Line. He overran by 4 inches. R68A #5032. I am the latter. . And I try to find somewhere in the middle...It's difficult sometimes when you're a railfan just trying to sit back and enjoy the ride. Kind of off-topic, but I'll never forget this post by TwoTimer: That's exactly what I was going to say, just enjoy the summer instead of busting brains trying to see something unusual or predicting or expecting something crazy. If something happens, it will sure be leaked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to do that yesterday on the while heading out to Canal Street for tea and I ended up looking at the FIND for the entire trip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threxx Posted July 4, 2012 Share #1106 Posted July 4, 2012 I find it easy, I just look around the car, sometimes I see an interesting ad, an interesting object, or some eye candy, if you know what I mean. Another random thought/question: Should the SAS have been built in the 1940/50's instead of repairing the rest of the system? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvega961 Posted July 5, 2012 Share #1114 Posted July 5, 2012 hmm....i wonder if splitting the in two sections (btwn Bowling Green and 149, E180 to Dyre) would improve the , unless the just sucks in general. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would that help? The would be left to take up all the service b/w 149th & 180th, and the would be even more screwed! That will just create a host of more problems. It's like returning to the Pre-1950's setup: & to Nereid Avenue/241st Street & 9 shuttle to Dyre Avenue... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDTA Posted July 6, 2012 Share #1119 Posted July 6, 2012 Wouldn't a two island platform design work better for CI? (The islands would be twice as long) (The would stop on the north side of platform 1, and the on the south side, and have the stop on the north side of platform 2, and have the on the south side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooklynIRT Posted July 6, 2012 Share #1120 Posted July 6, 2012 More service can be added to the if they simply add a couple of switches east of Utica to allow the run to New Lots full-time while ending the at Utica. Then service can be cut while service is increased. To increase weekday service on Nostrand they will probably have to modify Flatbush to increase its capacity so they can send more trains down Nostrand, but on the weekends they can send more trains down Nostrand without modifying the terminal. Either way with the ending at Utica they could probably run 4 TPH on that line on weekends while running no fewer than 6 TPH on the and it would help out a lot on the Bronx end. There was a lot of sticky black junk covering the "LENOX AVE" and "LEXINGTON AVE" labels on the route selector at 3 Ave-149 St for the southbound trains up until today. It was removed by a henchman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too risky for terminating trains to collide, and the platforms would just be too long. The current setup is fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another random thought/question: Should the SAS have been built in the 1940/50's instead of repairing the rest of the system? That's funny cuz I sometimes can't help but literally study them, believe or not some girls like it and smile or say hello. Now back to the topic I noticed that the Bronx get slightly more areas cover than Queens. In Queens on Rockaway, Jamaica , Queens Blvd, Middle Village , Woodside and Astoria and Flushing. Oh yeah I can't forget Richmond hills. People never fan the buses or train in that area idk why.

Oh yeah I can't forget Richmond hills. People never fan the buses or train in that area idk why. Your talking about areas that have subway service? And idk why ppl don't go in richmond hill, the train is there (I tend to avoid it tho) and a few buses but thats about it. Its not like Flushing and Jamaica that have mutliple bus lines and essential connections and a lot of bus/train action, you can always find something good to photograph or to see in Jamaica and Flushing, can't say so for Richmond Hill tho... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
