Lawrence St Posted March 24 Share #30651 Posted March 24 @Kamen Rider hey, is LES 2nd Av controlled by West 4th tower now, or does someone have to manually go to the tower at 2nd Av to operate the switches? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted March 24 Share #30652 Posted March 24 I wonder if Queens Blvd will be fully local during late nights once the is back running all times along 63rd St. If so, then the and would be the only late night express lines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West 4th tower doesn’t control anything anymore under normal circumstances. It has been superseded by 34 Master. 2nd avenue, however, is under a different tower, Essex Street Master. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was most likely implying on a permanent basis, as opposed to being done temporarily for work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only for the time being. Once CBTC work on Queens Blvd (East of Union Turnpike) is finished, then maybe the late night Express will return to normal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoHacksJustKhaks Posted March 28 Share #30659 Posted March 28 Really random question: after the departs Howard Beach JFK on the N/B track. I hear this *cli-cli-cling* noise as the train passes by over a certain portion of track. Doesnt matter what fleet im on, its been making that noise. It's not harmful or anything, but im just wondering what causes that noise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkstar8983 Posted March 29 Share #30661 Posted March 29 A random thought. I know that now with the 63 St tunnel reopening for full service, full service will be restored to the but are there enough crews to run this service? Remember that when the was cut to its current service (57 St to Metropolitan Av), the and got service buffs during the midday which was partially offset by service being cut in half. And during the first month or so. There were many crew shortages on the especially, even with the lack of 179 St trips. I wonder if it will be just as bad if not worse now that we need the full crew roster for the QB corridor and to maintain the service buffs that have been given. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted March 29 Share #30662 Posted March 29 Here’s the thing… the Mikey wasn’t “cut in half”. 90% of M crews still have trips. yes, that has made Metropolitan Ave crew quarters very crowded, but, c’est la vie… So the boosts on the other lines were not really at the expense of the Mikey, they are temporary jobs mostly filled by new people without fully picked jobs on a line. The extra crew needs on the R actually surpassed what the M or E could give up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extra crew needs on the R actually surpassed what the M or E could give up. Ohh. So there’s just been a lot of crews with “dead time” between runs then? Got it. I always wondered what they do with train crews when their line is curtailed for an extended period (excess of 1 pick cycle). As for the yeah I can imagine how many extra crews were needed for that route with all the 59 St rush hour trips and the need to maintain Union mandated breaks for all crews. It wasn’t just about just adding 8 extra train sets each rush hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted March 30 Share #30664 Posted March 30 a lot of what goes on behind the scenes tends to be, to keep things short and simple, well above my pay grade to ether question or understand. They tell me where to go and when, and I get my caboose there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted March 31 Share #30668 Posted March 31 (edited) * The single cars are seperated from the . 1934 has been broken apart of 1938, 1926, 1938 and 1942. Question is, will they link 1942 with the units around 2411-2414? But who knows, maybe the ones that were broken and not linked are used for refuse service. ** Stolen items were found by fare evaders based on the name with evidence Edited March 31 by Calvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When COVID was still a thing, a lot of conductors let stuff like fare beating go, and now people think that’s the norm when someone who tries to do their job with enforcing the fare is met with pushback and/or irate behavior. I just hope the example the subway is setting this year also spreads to the other agencies that fare evasion can not and will not be tolerated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
