TwoTimer Posted October 31, 2012 Share #1677 Posted October 31, 2012 Before any of these fantasy ideas of how to reroute service assuming every terminal in lower Manhattan is operational, it is time right here to note that - the lower half of Manhattan remains without power, above and below ground - . No power = no pump rooms operational = no service. Yes there are pump trains but not for this level of disaster, that is for localized stuff mostly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Via Garibaldi 8 Posted October 31, 2012 Share #1678 Posted October 31, 2012 I Love the L line & all , but they need some maintainance on the tracks or something .. dont know much about it ... but when the trains are in ATO especially in the morning its sucks becuase the L is packed to the best it can do and people begin to fall on you becuase of the way it rides. & i have this weird feeling the r 143s are going to be the new r32s any idea on when the will get something like a fasttrack since it cannot have a fasttrack I also wish they had a third track , cause they are alotta delays after Bway Junction in the morning. ok im done complaining now. Are you sure??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTS CNG Command Posted November 1, 2012 Share #1679 Posted November 1, 2012 (edited) If anyone hears any updates about any subway line service resuming between Manhattan and Brooklyn, can you please post the update? Didn't see the pinned thread. ^^; Edited November 1, 2012 by RTS CNG Command 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted November 2, 2012 Share #1686 Posted November 2, 2012 (edited) All they pretty much did was change all the 's to 's...all the terminal names were still set as a . But while on the today (had to go downtown anyway), I noticed a set (1431-2-3-4-8) with an ad wrap for that new Windows 8 tablet. Wasn't a full wrap like the Swatch R142A, but basically the ad strip, and a huge ad on the lower half of the door.

TwoTimer Posted November 2, 2012 Share #1689 Posted November 2, 2012 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Before someone posts about that NYDN article about the loop station, what was suggested was recertifying the track as revenue track, allowing passengers to go around the loop again, but not stop at the loop and the station. This is so trains can go express into Brooklyn and the restored if things are ok above the junction (resembling normal IRT west service before the station opened). Also can resume generally a normal schedule with normal headways. No fantasy, please. Thank you for your time in reading this PSA. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any estimate on when normal service will resume via the normal station? How bad is the signal damage on the ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDTA Posted November 2, 2012 Share #1691 Posted November 2, 2012 Let's not forget that we might see R46's at CI in a few years. Looking at assignments, it makes most sense that Jamaica exchange R46's with all of CI's non Siemens R160's, because that number would be perfect, and it would keep uniformity to keep down on maintenance costs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrivera Posted November 3, 2012 Share #1692 Posted November 3, 2012 Speaking of R62's, I saw one in the Bronx on WPR on the middle track by Pelham Parkway. Can any R62's stuck uptown be pressed into service if need be? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowblock Posted November 3, 2012 Share #1694 Posted November 3, 2012 R62s are currently being relocated back to Lenox Yard.

Rector St downtown would be the last stop, followed by the uptown platform, similar to how the 6 is at Brooklyn Bridge? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowblock Posted November 3, 2012 Share #1697 Posted November 3, 2012 Yes, except we'd tell everybody to GET THE F OUT at Rector St, since the South Ferry loop is not classified as revenue track. 's will not even be doing that until a. the power is back b. Cortlandt St is pumped c. the loop is pumped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alejr88 Posted November 3, 2012 Share #1698 Posted November 3, 2012 I just hope that when they pump out all the water from the new South Ferry, at least make it look better than it was before it was flooded. I doubt that will happen since the MTA wouldn't want to waste time with that station. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted November 3, 2012 Share #1699 Posted November 3, 2012 Yeah, it was already leaking before. Now being flooded... But I wouldn't be surprised they just did some patchwork to get that station up and running asap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
