ttcsubwayfan Posted July 29, 2014 Share #7279 Posted July 29, 2014 How come the R40/42s only had one window on the blind ends of the cars, and no conductor controls in the "A" cabs? Who thought that was a good idea? MTA Subway 4392 - 01 by t6a5iii, on Flickr 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTA Dude Posted July 29, 2014 Share #7280 Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) Woodside-61st to Junction ( ) on the Mets Willets to Woodside on the (Met Game) Myrtle Av to Marcy on the 71st-Continental to Roosevelt I said QBL already. And is the really a super express, or does it not feel like one because it is elevated? Waiting for the to Jamaica and THREE trains come first! You can't make this stuff up. Really? Which reminds me, on Sunday, THREE Jamaica-bound trains were in service in a row at Forest Hills. Edited July 29, 2014 by MTA Dude 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted July 29, 2014 Share #7281 Posted July 29, 2014 I said QBL already. And is the really a super express, or does it not feel like one because it is elevated? Really? Which reminds me, on Sunday, THREE Jamaica-bound trains were in service in a row at Forest Hills. This happens in Brooklyn on 4th Avenue, train bunching where many times I am waiting for the N to go home and two to three D trains in a row arrive at Atlantic Avenue-Barklays before an N arrives. Many times I get so fed up that I just take the R. Like every other day in the PM rush this happens. Then when I arrive at 59th Street all of a sudden an N arrives. I strongly suspect these T/Ds dispatch these trains like this deliberately. Which is highly annoying when I am not in the photograhy mood and just want to get the hell home after a long day. People depend on the N too, the N can get overcrowded in general rush hours as it is.... They used to send select W trains down the Sea Beach to the yard, rush hrs, in service, to make up for this but the budget cuts stopped that practice in 2010. I think this is why they are now throwing R68As on the N rush hours to try and mitigate train bunching on 4th Avenue as they send it from Astoria by 4:30 approximately PM rush hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted July 29, 2014 Share #7283 Posted July 29, 2014 I said QBL already. And is the really a super express, or does it not feel like one because it is elevated? This goes back to my first question...what is a super express. If you want to be technical, the only TRUE super express is the after Mets games. Everything else you mentioned are just regular express runs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R188 7857 Posted July 30, 2014 Share #7291 Posted July 30, 2014 So according to NYC Fire Wire on Facebook, there is a fire in the Steinway Tunnel. Manhattan *75-0791* E 42 St/1st Ave. Division 3 using All Hands for a fire on the 7 line under the East River between Manhattan & Queens. And news has been reporting that a fire near Grand Central is shutting down the , which pretty much I think everyone would know by now. Service has pretty much resumed, but now I'm wondering if anything has been done to the weeks of work they've been doing in the tunnel? I know it was just a track fire, but it might have done something to the CBTC and such as it was stated to be near a signal area (I'm assuming it's where the switches are at)... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the FIND was signed up as the Brown as the announcements were the old Williamsburg reroutes to Queens or Bklyn. The only edited reroutes was the To Forest Hills, to Essex and the to Chambers ( ) . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTA Dude Posted August 1, 2014 Share #7300 Posted August 1, 2014 Just wondering, if 7th Avenue is getting so crowded, why can't the work on adding more trains? They only run on average. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
