Via Garibaldi 8 Posted February 7, 2014 Share #5526 Posted February 7, 2014 Is rush hour when all of these nut jobs come out or what? Seems like all of the panhandlers and performers come out during the heat of the rush. I think it's comical though when their voices are drowned out by the noise from the train. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q43LTD Posted February 7, 2014 Share #5527 Posted February 7, 2014 I bet if there wasn't a GO on QB, the would more than likely be re-routed to 71-Continental... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted February 7, 2014 Share #5528 Posted February 7, 2014 Why would the N be rerouted to Forest Hills? There's nothing happening on the Astoria line this weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should really consider moving out of New York City then. It seems you cant handle it and its apparent in your posts. I was at Concouse yard taking pics yesterday, which was nice! Using Tapatalk It is. I had alot of fun the last time I was out there at the Concourse Yard (With Daniel the Cool, long story) and we were getting those photos of the redbirds stationed there.

YankeesPwnMets Posted February 8, 2014 Share #5530 Posted February 8, 2014 Can they even store trains at Concourse right now? I was visiting my old school (Bronx Science) and looking over to Concourse, the tracks are almost all completely covered by rock solid ice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted February 8, 2014 Share #5531 Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Can they even store trains at Concourse right now? I was visiting my old school (Bronx Science) and looking over to Concourse, the tracks are almost all completely covered by rock solid ice. Yeah they should be able to. Actually that is a good observation because I had similar questions. Corona for example takes advantage of every track to lay up trains but the B division does not in regards to the GC yard. I guess they have adequate room at CI yard to store such trains leaving some of the capacity at the CG yard underused. But thats left up to speculation. Its been a minute since I've been that far up in the system. But last time i was there it was on the weekend. Not too many trains stored there it was sort of bare. Why is that? Your guess is as good as mine. Edited February 8, 2014 by realizm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted February 8, 2014 Share #5532 Posted February 8, 2014 The R32's first got delivered back in 1964-1966 right so that means the R32's have turned 50 then. They are old but still perform better those R42's and half of Piktins R46's 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amtrak7 Posted February 8, 2014 Share #5534 Posted February 8, 2014 The GO probably won't work too well on the weekend of May 2-5. Doesn't the bike tour close Queens Plaza? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I admit I laughed when you told us that. It sounds even more empty then when I was there. At least it did have its share of what I think is a set of R21's marked for the in two 4 car sets along with some R68s and R142s here and there. Yard superintendant must have it easy there, not much work to do (no trains!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have so many great plans! Go for it! Just make sure you have a plan B (College with the goal of going into a another growing field) if plan A doesn't fall through. But definitely strive to get in the MTA, its a secure part of the public job sector to be in from the feedback we recieve from the transit workers here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted February 9, 2014 Share #5541 Posted February 9, 2014 In my experience, North Conduit seems dead outside of rush hours. However, Aqueduct Racetrack sees some off-peak passengers at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
