What I'm trying to say is that there was weekend construction last week on the express tracks. which made queens bound and trains crawl like bugs, so since I didn't have anything to do after my internship program, I decided to go home but wanted to go home before 6:30. Though I should've ignored going to Lexington All together That's cool, i was just making a QBL joke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlgorithmOfTruth Posted April 22, 2018 Share #18304 Posted April 22, 2018 Once Westchester Yard gets their hands on those remaining R62A sets at Corona Yard, they'll most likely rearrange the single units and toss the beloved RFW's. If I'm not mistaken, every R62A set used on the has a full-width cab on each operating end. This year could be the last opportunity anyone has to admire the RFW within A Division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N6 Limited Posted April 22, 2018 Share #18305 Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) There was a 30 min gap in downtown service according to SubwayTime, so at Penn Station I took the next . After leaving 23 st. the train comes riding along with us into 14th st. Edited April 22, 2018 by N6 Limited fixed symbols 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 6 Ave Local Posted April 22, 2018 Share #18306 Posted April 22, 2018 Sixth Avenue has to to fixed so much, you don't wanna know how many trains I have seen on Eighth. Broadway line commuters have probably seen a few trains. Doesn't affect me too much cause I ride on Eighth (more service for us XD), but it's annoying when I take an to Seventh and 53rd, then the just happens to not be running there, so I have to wait for the next to get to 42 or 50. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted April 22, 2018 Share #18307 Posted April 22, 2018 Seen a mini zoo at the 23rd Street station a couple days ago... Pigeons, Cats, Hamsters and various other birds, their was also a dog running running around the platform. I was 😄 at the pigeon causally chilling on the Cat's back. Kinda reminded me of this YT video... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are impressively trained animals, and I've seen this guy, he doesn't harass anyone or bother anyone, just nicely asks for donations if you want to take a picture. Technically he's breaking rule 1050.9(h)(1) but - other than you, who cares? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coney Island Av Posted April 24, 2018 Share #18311 Posted April 24, 2018 A few days ago...I saw this at 59 St-Columbus Circle. It's an uncovered sign, which depicts the old style in which subway signs were manufactured. The former service patterns of the to 168 St, 21 St-Queensbridge or Coney Island and to Rockaway Park or Bedford Park Blvd were taped over. Just a nice throwback to the old signs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coney Island Av Posted April 24, 2018 Share #18316 Posted April 24, 2018 Fair warning: The shuttle from Myrtle-Wyckoff to Metropolitan will cease operating this Friday, April 27 at 9:30 PM. Weekend construction for April 28-29 will put the shuttle out of business, and on April 30, normal service will resume. If you wanna see R42's on the , get your pictures/videos now.

In relation to this, why are they having free shuttle buses for the while the shuttles would be paid? Also, I heard that the shuttles were very efficient and organized during the shutdown. If anyone rode them, could you deny or confirm this and maybe explain why they ran efficiently? Normal MTA bus subway shuttles and buses in general tend to suck...

The reasons the shuttles operated well was because, as mentioned above, it had its own fleet; also, the route was quite short and completely straight. The only problem I saw riding them during rush hour was that they tended to get stuck in traffic approaching the chaotic Broadway intersection - a short bus queue-jump lane near Broadway would've helped make that better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brakethrow Posted April 25, 2018 Share #18325 Posted April 25, 2018 Based on a vid I've seen of the run between Brooklyn Bridge and Union Square on the uptown express, I didn't spot any timers or speed limits (correct me if I'm wrong) forcing trains to slow down through out some of the curves in that area. So why do most train operators brake for the curves ? Only been on a handful of runs where they'd haul ass throughout the entire run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
