It's Mon-ta-hue.  The "g" sounds like an "h".

I've always heard it with the "g" sound, not the "h".

Everybody says Mon-ta-gue.

Well I don't know what to tell you, but I grew up in Brooklyn and spent tons of time in Brooklyn Heights along that very street and that's how we Brooklynites say it.

 

When said quickly it sounds like what I said before but this link also has that "h" sound I mentioned.

Same here. The "h" pronounciation is new to me..

The other day I made a cross platform transfer from an to an at Union Turnpike.

 

We pulled in to Union Turnpike on the Express tracks, and there was a "special" across the platform to 179th st. We ran somewhat light to 179th. I wonder if there were delays because the bus lines weren't long. And my bus was actually light!

I'm just telling you how I heard it and still hear it. I don't need a history lesson or a series of links to how others pronounce it.

Well good for you.  I thought I originally replied to peacemaker anyway so I don't know why you got involved in the first place.

[Guest Lance]

You quoted my post, so forgive me if I thought you were talking to me. Also, why so snippy?

Correct, but I wasn't talking to you originally...

[Guest Lance]

Well excuse me for responding on a public forum. I wasn't aware this was a private conversation. Oh wait, it isn't.

[RollOver]

I guess you should have use the PM instead if you didn't want anyone else to respond to you.

You're right it isn't, hence why I don't understand your remark about why I'm posting the link as if it is solely for you.  You just need to take that chip off of your shoulder once in a while and you'd be a lot better off.

I'm not the one that got bent out of shape after a response, but whatever. It's really not worth the energy you seem to be putting into this.

[Via Garibaldi 8]

Yes, let's take the high road please and if you have any issues with me, you can address me via PM.  Let's let the random thoughts continue.

It's normal because Jamaica Center can only turn so many trains at rush hour. So they send some (E)'s to 179. IMO, it's not consistent.

Yup. On a related note for years I used to sound out Houston st like the city in Texas instead of saying 'house-ton'.

From what I saw in one of mark1447's (or bebo2good's) videos, it was revealed that the was extended further to 179th Street during its last runs of the night.

A post reads "It was due to unspecified work on the lead in tracks to the Jamaica Yard or near there. The M was cut back to 57 St/6 Av for the last few hours of service."

Thanks UT.

I know they send 's to/from 179th. In the morning they go Express so something like that wouldn't happen in the morning. In the evenings they go local, therefore one could make a cross platform transfer from   to if they arrive at Union Turnpike Simultaneously, although in my case the to 179th was held in the station for people to make the connection.

So guys, sorry if this has been asked and answered before...I was wondering about something:

 

Country: United States
City: New York
System: New York City Transit
Location: 207th Street Shop
Car: R-110A (Kawasaki, 1992) 8005
Photo by: Daniel Negron
Date: 2/14/2013

So these cars were being converted to new Pump Cars last February. My question is: what kind of progress has been done so far on these cars, if any since February?

Also, a related but separate question: I read somewhere one car of each, an R110A and R110B is to be preserved. Is that true?

Thanks, guys.
 

[Grand Concourse]

I'd love to see an R110A and R110b saved. I never got to see either in person other than from the yards. The R110A interior looked interesting with the window side seats. I think it would've been nice to have, but given how they obstruct the walking flow, probably best they went with the inward facing seats.

[peacemak3r]

So while waiting 30 minutes for a this passed along between two 's.

Yes, it should read Atlantic-Pacific-Barclays but there isn't enough space on the display.

but on the IRT there's enough space... Aren't those cars thinner?
