Mysterious2train Posted April 12, 2015 Share #9301 Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) Was there some kind of delay on the Lex Line today? I saw several trains today using cars from the , going to E 180 St. But these trains seemed to be extra trains, in addition to the normal trains going to Dyre Av. I saw one of them running local. I was on a train that terminated at Bowling Green (countdown clock said it was terminating at Wall St though, the actual train itself was signed up as running to Brooklyn Bridge), that train left Bowling Green and came back on the uptown track as a . That didn't actually spend any time fumigating at Bowling Green; it left almost right away... there were still some passengers on the train as it left to go to the loop!

For the short turning I would say for extra service for the Yankee Games. They run from 161st St to Bowling Green or BB usually. It's no different than the because they short turn trains at WTC or LES-2nd Av. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were Yankee specials (at least going downtown, heading back uptown I have no idea what they were doing sending those trains to E180...) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted April 12, 2015 Share #9304 Posted April 12, 2015 No. That is a long standing rumour without a shred of reality behind it. There is no 76th Street station in New York. Really? How come some say there is a signal facing the wall? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTA1992 Posted April 12, 2015 Share #9309 Posted April 12, 2015 I feel we should be seeing the R179s really soon. I don't know if it was the Svedka, but they popped up in my dream last night. Plus, I don't dream often anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfanrod Posted April 12, 2015 Share #9313 Posted April 12, 2015 Since the not running to manhattan i think the MTA should run extra trains from to Broadway junction only because it will be crush load and people will have to pass up trains.......... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabi2233 Posted April 12, 2015 Share #9314 Posted April 12, 2015 The station rehabilitation of Zerega Avenue , Buhre Avenue of is almost completed.. I hope they can re-open soon. If they can finally do last stage station rehabilitation at Westchester Square - East Tremont Avenue. I can tell the last stage of Westchester Square - East Tremont Avenue station set to be rehabilitated beginning October of 2015... What kind of traffic of the station will it effect and it closure don't know. Same thing as usually free shuttle bus run between Westchester Square to Parkchester East 177 Street..

Thekilomoney11 Posted April 13, 2015 Share #9316 Posted April 13, 2015 How come the r-142's number plate 6301-6310, 6311-6313, and 6326-6327 have different font than the rest of the cars? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-142 6301-6310 is the 1st set built which is a 1999 model and has original font. You'll see very few subway cars like that around the system with different fonts on their number boards. I believe there is a R-68, and R-32 pair around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That R68 car is 2755 and its only on one side. The R32 car was 3348 and that been retired 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyer 230 Posted April 13, 2015 Share #9321 Posted April 13, 2015 If only the subway extended outward to different sections of Queens. By looking at the line along Hillside Ave it looks as if the line was originally suppose to have an express and local service along the line. If the funding was there at the time could of had an extension outward towards Nassau. A lot of people say the Bronx and Brooklyn have it bad but it doesn't look that bad at all. At least the lines are spread out across the Bronx and Brooklyn is covered pretty nicely. Queens had so much potential for a better subway back when they could have still done something back in the 1950's and 1960's but now with all the buildings and stuff that opportunity is long gone. With SBS coming to Woodhaven that old LIRR line is going to lay and rot away. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With SBS coming to Woodhaven that old LIRR line is going to lay and rot away. For the exception of 3 Avenue and Utica Avenue, I think that the Bronx and Brooklyn are pretty well covered. Queens definitely need better subway coverage, it's lacking. I prefer the old LIRR to be restored over the SBS route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
