That way the Brown can run faster instead of waiting so long during the late nights But, the can run its route during late nights/ morning/noon and maybe a or so can comeback and run through the sandy reroute Edited April 18, 2014 by queenspapi 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current M is a much better service than the V. Also, that is not necessary and would confuse riders. The current M gets a lot more riders than the V, which is why the V in the straphangers campaigns' surveys would always be first in seat availability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the moves that need to be made for a dual operation like that will be too costly let alone making it a T/D dispatching nightmare. Plus the fact that the Dekalb interlocking will be a mess. How do we pronounce Montague anyway? Like this - MON-tag-gue ? Help me here my Brooklyn accent is horrible, lol.

Abba Posted April 18, 2014 Share #6330 Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) Question: For 5 weekends Nostrand Junction will be out of service.Are they redoing it? Will trains be able to switch without affecting other lines? Edited April 18, 2014 by Abba 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted April 18, 2014 Share #6332 Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) Most northbound trains hit 36 mph into 125th, which is the fastest I've seen. I think northbound and trains can do the same thing too. Edited April 18, 2014 by RollOverMyHead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cl94 Posted April 18, 2014 Share #6333 Posted April 18, 2014 No. That would require a total rebuilding.. Probably switch and signal upgrades. Theoretically, they could be prepping for a future rebuild, but I doubt it at this point. Rebuilding Rogers Junction won't do crap if they don't fix some of the issues at Utica and Flatbush. As I said yesterday, think of the Eastern Parkway line as a stream and Rogers, Utica, and Flatbush as culverts/pipes carring the stream under roads, with Rogers upstream of both Utica and Flatbush. You can increase the size of the Rogers pipe from 4 to 20 feet in diameter and nothing will improve if the Utica and Flatbush pipes remain 2 feet in diameter, as there is no room for the flow to increase.The underlying reasons for the congestion are south of Rogers. Transportation systems are effectively modeled as streams. Add as much capacity as you want elsewhere on the line, but one choke point will limit the capacity of the entire line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted April 18, 2014 Share #6334 Posted April 18, 2014 I have a question. I know many of the El's in the system are really old, but how does the maintain them after 60+ years? Don't they have to be rebuilt pretty soon? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted April 19, 2014 Share #6337 Posted April 19, 2014 So this morning while going to work (5 am), I was waiting for the train at Rockaway Av ( isn't running anyway), and for some reason the train came in as a signed to Dyre Av. Couldn't get a picture of it, by the time the train stopped, the conductor turned the signs off. We get to Utica Av, and she finally signs it up as a to Dyre. Kinda forgot it was making all stops tho 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted April 19, 2014 Share #6341 Posted April 19, 2014 So this morning while going to work (5 am), I was waiting for the train at Rockaway Av ( isn't running anyway), and for some reason the train came in as a signed to Dyre Av. Couldn't get a picture of it, by the time the train stopped, the conductor turned the signs off. We get to Utica Av, and she finally signs it up as a to Dyre. Kinda forgot it was making all stops tho I guess she didn't feel like playing with the computers this morning. There is an option in the 142s for the 5 from New Lots to Dyre Av, but it's only express from Utica Av to 125 St. Rather than have to add all those local stops in the TOD, she chose the easy solution to go manual through Crown Heights and then turn on the AAS and program it as a 5 local from Utica to Dyre, which is an option on those old computers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3838 Posted April 19, 2014 Share #6350 Posted April 19, 2014 On the weekends what happens to Jamaica's R46's because I don't see many on the and none on the ? What I find interesting is that Jamaica's R160's are stored in the stations and tunnels after Forest Hills towards Jamaica. However I don't see R46's stored up in the tunnels and the yard has it usual amount of R46 and R160's stored. So do the R46's get stored at CI yard and the uses the R160's from CI? On the Manhattan bound express track between north of union turnpike and 75th ave (nights only) they lay up some trains Weekends and every night on the Jamaica express tracks between 75th and union those are lay up tracks Between supthin and parsons those are ®'s that get layed up and turned into (F)'s the very next weekday On the Manhattan bound exp track between 169-parsons that's where the is layed up Its basically a cycle and the still uses Jamaica equipment on the weekends 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
