AndrewJC Posted March 25, 2014 Share #6052 Posted March 25, 2014 Saw an R62 set starting with a lead car in the 1560s and the end car 1470 on the today, hadn't seen that one before. The 1 was cut off from its usual storage areas all weekend, so it presumably borrowed some equipment from the 3. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N6 Limited Posted March 25, 2014 Share #6053 Posted March 25, 2014 What have they been doing on the Queens Blvd Jamaica Bound express track on weekends? Is it CBTC related? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted March 26, 2014 Share #6054 Posted March 26, 2014 No. It's mainly interlocking work at Roosevelt Av, 71 Av and Kew Gardens. There are some signal upgrades being done as well, but they have nothing to do with CBTC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they've installed new track an ties outside Queens Plaza 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted March 27, 2014 Share #6056 Posted March 27, 2014 I'm actually one of the fewer people on this forum that cares for what the current service patterns on each line for what they are. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R62s are another possibility, as Livonia will be the closest accessible yard to the . This certainly isn't likely, but we could see a set or two of R62s return to the this weekend, again because Livonia is right there and the will be extended all weekend. On the express thing, good question. Doesn't really make sense. There's a GO on the northbound local sending everything express north of Grand Central, but the running local is a mystery. If there was a GO on the express track, everything would be sent local. Maybe they finally got the hint and put additional local service on the line? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel The Cool Posted March 28, 2014 Share #6062 Posted March 28, 2014 They don't put R62s on the in this G.O. I wouldn't say that. They've done it before in the past and I mean times after 2009. They did it once in 2010 and also once in 2011 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither do I, but it is a ''Random Thoughts'' thread and I was merely giving an observation.

I could be incorrect, but just a long thought I wanted to share. The 5 is running local to maintain spacing on Lexington Avenue. With the 2 suspended in the Bronx, there will likely be added 5 trains running to compensate. Running all those trains express on the Lex will just over-serve the line. As for 62s (either ones) appearing on the 2, while possible, I don't think it will happen. Unlike the last time Lenox Avenue was shut down, White Plains Road (and therefore 239th Street Yard) still has access to a Manhattan trunk and can still send a 142 to the 2-line, albeit via the South Ferry loop. The last time this service disruption occurred, there wasn't any service between 3 Av-149 St and 96 St. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
