Guest lance25 Posted October 6, 2011 Share #451 Posted October 6, 2011 If I'm not mistaken (and please correct me if I'm wrong), the service change is in place due to the removal of the old signals on the Canarsie line, specifically the ones east of Broadway Junction. Hence the split service with the 24 minute wait times between Broadway Junction and Rockaway Pkwy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overclocked Posted October 7, 2011 Share #452 Posted October 7, 2011 What a terrible morning commute was today. First 6th avenue, we were crawling between W4 and 47/50 sts, but at least moving. Then came 8th avenue at CPW, which got the crown. It took no more and no less than 30 minutes to get from Columbus circle to 135th. Apart from terrible signaling, we almost tripped and T.O. had to climb down and check. Still made it on time, time managemet FTW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VWM Posted October 7, 2011 Share #453 Posted October 7, 2011 is it possible to make a canarsie exp in the underground parts by doing it like the Lex between Grand central and 125 st, under the track 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overclocked Posted October 7, 2011 Share #454 Posted October 7, 2011 is it possible to make a canarsie exp in the underground parts by doing it like the Lex between Grand central and 125 st, under the track Unfortunately no, there are no extra "express" tracks and there were never any plans to have them. If you mean adding express tracks by building some, then you can forget about it, it will never happen under any circumstances.

How fast can one come into Sheepshead Bay n/b? I've always said to myself: If the MTA wanted to test out the coil springs on a set, run the set between Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay n/b. The cars start to bounce dramatically and weird but unique sounds can be heard from the trucks. Has to be one of my favorite runs in the system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radar gun, now that is something new (to me). I also realized that trains were slow due to presence of track and signal maintainers along the route. Is it true that there is less track maintenance during rush hours then during regular service? About 9:56 run, by what time will it reach 59th St?
