Snowblock Posted February 10, 2015 Share #8876 Posted February 10, 2015 You have pics? I wouldn't share them. It's just as bad as posting graffiti photos, it just encourages vandals to keep doing it.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted February 10, 2015 Share #8877 Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Does anyone who takes the to Utica feel that some more ,s should be sent to New Lots? Many times the bottleneck goes all the way to Nostrand and in severe cases to Franklin! I think some should go to New Lots and also people won't see the zoom by on the local anymore.

RollOver Posted February 10, 2015 Share #8878 Posted February 10, 2015 No. Because the is based out of Livonia, while a few are just stored there. The is the primary service on the New Lots branch, not the other Brooklyn IRT routes, as they already have their own home shops in the Bronx. So it wouldn't be fair at all. Let's not spread the delays over to the New Lots branch, please? Leave Rogers, Utica and Flatbush alone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted February 10, 2015 Share #8879 Posted February 10, 2015 I was thinking every other or 3rd train could go there.I mean why should people suffer like that before Utica? Maybe they can at least speed up the relay process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenSin Posted February 10, 2015 Share #8880 Posted February 10, 2015 If you want any improvement to the , triple-track the segment between Crown Heights–Utica Avenue and New Lots Avenue. That'll provide a longer stretch of track to spread the delay out and hopefully dilute the congestion enough to make a difference. That pretty much means we'll still be sending trains to New Lots Avenue, but it won't try to merge with the until some half a dozen stations down the line. This takes the delays off Rogers Junction or Crown Heights–Utica Avenue where the delays screw the line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted February 10, 2015 Share #8881 Posted February 10, 2015 In my fantasy, everything in the subway is overall the same as here in reality, except a small few changes (such as Rogers Junction, Flatbush Avenue and a few more others). I'll write it all out in the Proposal Thread sooner or later. Give me time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itmaybeokay Posted February 10, 2015 Share #8883 Posted February 10, 2015 Yeah, hes right. So I guess it was built for a future expanison to the west of the Yard, but was never completed. BTW, is that the field in the 1921 picture? It looks so...greeny. I don't think it was yet an athletic field in 1921 - it was just, well. A field. I highly recommend taking some time to poke around the old aerial photos on maps.nyc.gov You can turn on the subway layer to see the modern transit lines to use as guideposts. Many of them, of course, weren't built yet when these photos were taken. And several current stations sit where, in 1921, there was nothing but farms and dirt roads. But most fascinating, to me, is exploring the now-demolished elevated lines of manhattan, and other infrastructure that no longer exists - sprawling rail yards on the west side of manhattan, old penn station, etc etc. Quite fun to compare to the 1951 aerial and the modern satellite views. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q113 LTD Posted February 11, 2015 Share #8890 Posted February 11, 2015 I was thinking..... If Nassau Country was Queens, then it would be the largest borough attached to the current Queens. Now, how far would you guys think the subway would have expanded? How far would you go? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, how far would you guys think the subway would have expanded? How far would you go? Same as now. Political borders won't make a difference if we can't even cover large swaths of Queens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted February 11, 2015 Share #8892 Posted February 11, 2015 For some reason if I don't go onto the Subway section of the forums it automatically bumps me back to June 2014 even if I made a post on here afterwards.

paulrivera Posted February 11, 2015 Share #8893 Posted February 11, 2015 I just bore witness to the longest battery run I've ever seen in my life: Kingsbridge Road all the way to 161st on the line without stopping, while still in service. This was the end result of a sick passenger at Bedford Park that originally did not want to exit the train, but eventually did and since there were two other employees at the station, the train was able to proceed after the train crew jotted down some notes about the incident. Since this was on top of a GO already in progress NB between Burnside and Woodlawn, so the whole line had to be shut down momentarily while that was going on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union Tpke Posted February 11, 2015 Share #8894 Posted February 11, 2015 Today I saw an R68 NIS on the QBL on the D5 Layup track. I was about to take a video of it, but my camera died. Then it took 15-20 mins to get to Roosevelt and I saw a work train at 71 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it took 15-20 mins to get to Roosevelt and I saw a work train at 71 There were a couple big issues on the QBL yesterday - maybe they're still cleaning up from them, re the work train. I've got no insight on the R68 - maybe just schoolcar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
