trainfan22 Posted February 2, 2016 Share #11777 Posted February 2, 2016 ^^^^ Great news, service is actually faster when that station is open as they had to operate manually between the Junction and Stutter Ave and couldn't go no faster than 15 MPH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted February 4, 2016 Share #11787 Posted February 4, 2016 Anybody got $2.5k sitting around? Sad thing is, I think that's probably a reasonable price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-MANHATTAN-CONEY-ISLAND-N-Line-Double-Sided-Porcelain-Sign-/172088867501?hash=item28114bbaad:g:srIAAOSwoydWs7Cl 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted February 5, 2016 Share #11789 Posted February 5, 2016 I agree, but that is a really great item! So hard to find those things. I only know of a few of them, since it seems even the Transit Museum is missing them in stock. One 168 St Jamaica sign sold for $650 a few years back. There's a guy in Brooklyn who wants $600 for a Vignelli black on white station sign for the 8 Avenue stop. I personally have a Vignelli "To Coney Island" for the F line with service info. And there's a guy I know who I've been trying to convince to sell me his 8 Street NYU Vignelli sign. This one here is the only one I've seen on eBay in years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubwayAl had that one in person and online for a bit. If you peeled that black sticker there's probably a black J or grey QJ underneath...maybe even a JJ. I also found this. 1_1ea7f05f9e062a2bf4e3a21c23567657 by spicker613, on Flickr There's also a few Vignelli-era exit signs on WorthPoint (which Houseofmemories bought for $100-200 each and sold for $1000-2000 each). And there've been a few "All persons forbidden" signs over the years. But the real Vignelli service signs are impossibly hard to find. This is another photo of the one I uncovered a little while back, which would have been just to the right of the "J" on that service sign above.

Javier Posted February 5, 2016 Share #11795 Posted February 5, 2016 Where does IT says that? Also, wasn't 7301-7310 delivered earlier than that? It says it in the R142A delivery notes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon2305 Posted February 5, 2016 Share #11796 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) It says it in the R142A delivery notes. According to info from nycsubway.org, 7306-7310 was involved in minor collision while being delivered on 11/30/2000, it suffered anti-climber and coupler damage when brakes did not set properly after de-coupling from the locomotives that delivered them. Don't know how accurate this story is but if notes were taken during the R142A delivery process in the early 2000s, then that's what probably happened.

Abba Posted February 5, 2016 Share #11797 Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) I have a question.The and are bypassing Chambers now Becuase of crane collapse.Maybe they can stop there just to make transfers? Why not? They can make announcements on trains and stations that they are only stopping to make transfers Edited February 5, 2016 by Abba 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted February 5, 2016 Share #11798 Posted February 5, 2016 People will swear on five [insert holy books of your choice] that there were no announcements that the exits were closed. It's better logistically to have the conductors tell riders to transfer at 14 Street and simply bypass the stations since riders can't get out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted February 6, 2016 Share #11800 Posted February 6, 2016 Couple of casual observations today... Rode the on Sea Beach for the first time since the rehab work began. Pretty good ride, although we did get held at 59 St for a few minutes. An was there too, and left before we did. Didn't even catch up to that until 9 St, so that should give you some sort of general idea on how ling we were held lol. Moving along to the , they making even more progress on that switch replacement at Essex St. J3/4 (middle track) is completely out of service at Essex, my (and all subsequent trains to Brooklyn) all now use J1 (outbound local), switching over after Bowery. They completely tore out the (J3/4) track past the homeball, including the switch area itself, the concrete, and the ballast. Only a stub of the switch is connected to J1, and the concrete & ballast was removed as well (track ties are sitting on wood). A 10 mph speed zone was set up in the area, and half of the station itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
