Culver Posted November 25, 2013 Share #4826 Posted November 25, 2013 I think count down clocks would help. Since there are none, it seems like your waiting forever for it to show up. Also having conductors at Church be ready to close the doors when the bell rings...that would help. Some do, some aren't even in the cab yet when it rings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itmaybeokay Posted November 25, 2013 Share #4827 Posted November 25, 2013 I used the past tense in reference to the train days, regardless, I still remain incredulous that making a station stop and fumigating 4 cars of a train where everyone is making a transfer would delay the locals a noticeable amount, these are the same locals which have to fumigate and clear out in the same manner and do so in less than two minutes on a regular basis. The main rub would be not interfering with the more frequent E service. The fumigation isn't what would delay the trains. The would have to enter queens plaza on the northbound local track, cross the very busy northbound local track to get to the relay track, then enter the station on the southbound express track - and cross over back to the southbound local - slowly - after leaving the station. Considering the E and the M already manage to delay each other, this absolutely would delay trains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted November 25, 2013 Share #4830 Posted November 25, 2013 Today after school, I went over to the via the Norwood Avenue station on the BMT Jamaica Line. An R42 shows up on the Queens-bound side. I rode it to Jamaica Center and then RFW'ed it all the way to Broad Street. Then as I reverse to the opposite platform, that single R32 set shows up after coming from the relay. I RFW'ed to Jamaica Center. Then after that, I rode it to Alabama Avenue and took the B12 bus home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GojiMet86 Posted November 27, 2013 Share #4836 Posted November 27, 2013 Guys I have a question. Lets say im in Manhattan and I want to get to Myrtle Ave J/M on saturday and sunday. Is it possible? Cause now im seeing J shuttle buses on weekends and no M service on the weekend. Can someone help. I don't see any service changes with the J and M: http://travel.mtanyct.info/serviceadvisory/routeStatusResult.aspx?tag=ALL&date=11/30/2013&time=&method=getstatus4 Although if something like that does happen, I guess a ride on the L and the Q54, because you want to get to the actual station, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted November 27, 2013 Share #4837 Posted November 27, 2013 Yeah i want to get to the actual station. I was looking and I saw the M was part time so i was wondering when is it part time. Then i remember there was J shuttles and no trains crossing the williamburg bridge some weekends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted November 27, 2013 Share #4838 Posted November 27, 2013 So i noticed that on some of the R142s they have yellow paint on the top corners of every car. So far i saw 6491-95 & 6631-35 with it. Anyone knows what that is for? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted November 28, 2013 Share #4840 Posted November 28, 2013 So I had RFW'ed that single R32 in both directions today (I missed the R42). However, my Brooklyn-bound R32 got held at Essex right along with an across the platform. Police investigation occurred at Hewers and/or Lorimer Streets. The then pulled out of the station and was sent express after Marcy until Myrtle. Then finally my R32 started to proceed along the Williamsburg Bridge but got held again at Marcy. After a long wait, the train finally started to proceed. As it was going express to Myrtle, another was sitting at Hewes Street and it was an R160. Then I passed another which was out of service. My Queens-bound R32 then got held again at Myrtle due to switch problems. Then after that, the rest of the way to Jamaica Center was normal though the train was late and had to be pulled out of its north terminal after a 1 minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted November 28, 2013 Share #4841 Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) Add 1917 to the list of Broadway singles still without circle/diamond LEDs. Also, heard an R142A today with one of the incredibly shrill horns you usually hear on the R32s rather than the usual noise--is that just a fault, or are they changing some?

GojiMet86 Posted November 28, 2013 Share #4842 Posted November 28, 2013 I forgot to mention that I saw an R142 on the middle express track around 116th Street or 125th Street heading up Broadway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union Tpke Posted November 28, 2013 Share #4843 Posted November 28, 2013 From the NYTM's facebook page " Say hello to the newest Transit Museum visitors: R42 cars 4572 and 4573! You may recognize them from “The French Connection.” They’ll be replacing our R1/9 cars at the Museum this winter." 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted November 28, 2013 Share #4844 Posted November 28, 2013 The R42s are my third favorite NYCS car, after the R32s and slanted-version R40s. Thanks for the information, Union Turnpike. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a website that shows the exact NYC Subway schedule for every single train. It shows the several short turns for trains. http://boerumhillscott.com/transit/index.php 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted November 29, 2013 Share #4847 Posted November 29, 2013 That R42 looks great, they really cleaned it up, new paint job and all. I'm shocked they didn't use the R38 since those don't run anymore where's the 42s still do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
