RollOver Posted May 3, 2015 Share #9401 Posted May 3, 2015 Meant to post this... Bout 11:30PM at 59th St. on Thursday night, a Far Rock-bound R32 pulled into the station. I never see the 32 A out that late, and it rarely goes to the Rock too. Felt like the old days, especially crushloaded with the C/R bouncing between cars with all the side changes down to 14th. Thanks for clarifying. Interesting. R32s on the all the way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted May 4, 2015 Share #9402 Posted May 4, 2015 It's been like that for a while, even on the . But what I don't get is why do select R142As have the changed sounds and the others don't. I would say it has something to do with the R188 conversion, but it also happens the . They're replacing the door motors on the R142As. Obviously, they did the converted cars first and the others as the need comes for them to be replaced 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N6 Limited Posted May 7, 2015 Share #9407 Posted May 7, 2015 What are they doing on Queens Blvd that they need the and to go local "north" of Roosevelt Ave after 10PM this week? They can't wait until the last terminates? On Monday around like 10:15 or so the I was on arrived @ Roosevelt Ave simultaneously with a train. Guess which train they sent first? Delays, Delays, and then wait for fumigation It's really simple, mitigate delays! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowblock Posted May 7, 2015 Share #9408 Posted May 7, 2015 It means the top level won't collapse. There's now only one track on 9th Ave lower. The two side tracks have reenforced pillars to hold up the station. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted May 7, 2015 Share #9409 Posted May 7, 2015 Had a T/O on the Flushing the other day with some bizarre operating practices. I had a Manhattan-bound RFW which was a treat, but this guy was bizarre. He'd run very fast up to every timer and then slam the brakes, barely clearing, and then he'd get as close to the train in front as possible and get stopped at every timer. Never once did he wait at a station for a little extra time, even when leaving Hunters Point when he had a red and was only about a train length behind another . Instead of communicating with the C/R, the doors were shut and he inched forward until a door was out of the station and then put the brakes back on and sat for about a minute until the signal cleared. Customers weren't too impressed on the platform. At Grand Central, he stopped the train one car into the station on a double yellow and sat there for about a minute until pulling all the way in just to wait on another red light. Couldn't figure out what he was doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a question, could R160's run on the before the R179 completion during the summer? Or would it still be a weight problem? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted May 10, 2015 Share #9422 Posted May 10, 2015 This weekend line G.O is fun, its running express between Broadway Junction and Myrte Ave and its wrap it and go the entire way! Whenever it is they are doing its near Myrte Ave. Someone should get a RFW video from one of the older cars. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntExp Posted May 10, 2015 Share #9424 Posted May 10, 2015 Hey all! I hope everyone is doing well and is enjoying the beautiful weather out there today. I am currently doing a paper on CBTC in the NYC Subway system, and I was wondering if any of you know of good starting points for research that I could use - be it journals, articles, reports, etc - that would be of help to me. Anything goes, and again, all I really need are a good few starting points - thank you all so much in advance! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
