MysteriousBtrain Posted March 17, 2015 Share #9102 Posted March 17, 2015 I just now noticed there's a stop missing on the strip map between Bowling Green and Borough Hall. Any idea what is was?a gap on the map because Bowling Green is a terminal for the evenings and weekends. Likely did that because after Bowling Green, it enters another borough, Brooklyn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted March 17, 2015 Share #9103 Posted March 17, 2015 Are you sure? Because a led is right behind that gap. Like seriously right behind the borough division line, there's a stop gap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like seriously right behind the borough division line, there's a stop gap. Yep. Positive. The gap is there for the other terminal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted March 17, 2015 Share #9105 Posted March 17, 2015 Oh. Huh weird, I guess when they built the car they added a extra stop by accident. Btw, was there a existing tunnel to 34 Street on the before it started getting built? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, was there a existing tunnel to 34 Street on the before it started getting built? No because the abandoned Downtown platform blocked provision for the tunnel and had to be demolished to make room for the extension. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted March 17, 2015 Share #9107 Posted March 17, 2015 So they drove the Tunnel boring machine ON the line to make the tunnel!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gong Gahou Posted March 17, 2015 Share #9110 Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Oh. Huh weird, I guess when they built the car they added a extra stop by accident.No, it isn't accidental - most definitely done on purpose. More than likely it's done for design purposes - to give enough room to indicate to passengers that Bowling Green is a terminal station (denoted by a thick curved black line) and that trains can go beyond it into Brooklyn (indicated by a continuing portion of the horizontal green line along with a vertical white line). They could have done it without skipping a light bulb, but then they would have even less room to to fit all that in there. Plus, there's plenty of bulbs, so the MTA can be creative and skip some lights if it ends up making the strip map more pleasing to the eye. So they drove the Tunnel boring machine ON the line to make the tunnel!? Yep. After demolishing the downtown platform on the 8 av line.That's actually not true. They can't drive the thing down there, as it's too big for the tunnels (about 20 feet in diameter, assuming the sandhogs are 6 ft tall). Because of its size, all the parts were manufactured and then delivered to the boring site where the machine was assembled and brought to life.

MTA Dude Posted March 18, 2015 Share #9111 Posted March 18, 2015 I forgot to make a comment about this, but 2 weeks ago, I went on a trip and the bus went on Jackson Av. Just noticed the fact that the makes an S curve around Jackson Av. Saw in the video the 3 trains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion VII 4 Life Posted March 18, 2015 Share #9114 Posted March 18, 2015 It wont be another GOH. In GOH they actually left transit property to go to the (now) Alstom factory upstate to get basically completely rebuilt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIP Posted March 18, 2015 Share #9117 Posted March 18, 2015 I think the Westchester crew needs a training on how to maintain their updated R62A's because the Express/Local (Diamond/Circle) circuit is still messed up, especially on car 1719 ...
