MTA Bus Posted March 31, 2016 Share #12126 Posted March 31, 2016 We have two fan trips; one on the Flushing Line with the TOMC on Tuesday, April 5 and one on the Jerome Avenue Line with the Lo - V's on Friday, April 1. Problem is, all of these trips are during the morning during the school week, so no foamers! I wouldn't say that last part. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those dates are wrong.The Flushing trip is Friday, April 8th and the Jerome trip is Monday, April 4th/ 2. While I do have school that day, I get out at 1PM so I can certainly make the return trip from Flushing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Railfans trespass and play around with roll signs on in service trains, so cutting school to ride an vintage train is no big deal.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those trips going down are Baseball Specials (Super Express 7 Trains) that normally happens every game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTK246 Posted April 2, 2016 Share #12138 Posted April 2, 2016 Anyone else notice they're starting to remove the abbreviated signs on the R142s? ' TO WAKFLD-241' is now 'TO WAKEFIELD-241 ST' and 'TO DYRE AV' is now 'TO EASTCHSTR-DYRE AV'. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javier Posted April 2, 2016 Share #12141 Posted April 2, 2016 Looks like they're finally starting to learn their mistakes. I believe 7926 also has its old programs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted April 2, 2016 Share #12142 Posted April 2, 2016 Some observations from today: 1406-1410 are on the line with strip maps and the rollsigns between cars all still say . 2146 on the has a R62 single line rollsign as well as 1924. Southbound trains were arriving at Columbus Circle on the local track. And apparently there is no to 145 St via Delancey program or TOs/CRs don't know how to find it. I only saw either: C 145 ST C 8 AV LOCAL or C 168 ST C VIA DELANCEY ST Also 8613 has an interesting variation of the to Brooklyn via Delancey program. The normal one announces a transfer to the at 2 Av and at York Street announces that it is a "Euclid Avenue bound train via the line". This car had neither. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threxx Posted April 3, 2016 Share #12143 Posted April 3, 2016 My first post on this website in a long time... I actually have returned to ask one random question that has bugged me for a while... At Utica Avenue heading towards Manhattan, the holding lights seem to always come on for the regardless of whether there is a train arriving or not. This occurred last weekend when there was not even train service in Brooklyn. Anyone know why this happens? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, they are holding the there instead of waiting for a to cross in front while in between Nostrand and Franklin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This occurred last weekend when there was not even train service in Brooklyn. Anyone know why this happens? Welcome back bro! (Even if it's only temporarily lol) The thing that I wonder is, why would it even be necessary to hold a train at Utica even if there was a train there? It's the first stop on the , so there wouldn't be any passengers getting off the , seeking service to Kingston or Nostrand. But yeah, Around The Horn is probably right. Either that, or they have some padding in the schedule between New Lots & Utica. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted April 3, 2016 Share #12148 Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) Becuase many times they are running early when they get to Utica.It was happening a lot Becuase Rockaway and Van Siclen were closed.But they reopened so maybe it will happen less.Look at the schedule if the train is 2 min or more early they hold.

They had Southbound Trains ran Express on the CPW Local tracks until 2:30 PM or so. The last one on the local tracks actually did went local though before it was fixed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
