CenSin Posted June 1, 2015 Share #9501 Posted June 1, 2015 I'm liking this train operator and his partner. Closing the doors on people leisurely walking up the stairs Operating the train right up to the true speed limits allowed by the signals Getting the **** out of the station instead of waiting for a slow to crawl in (since there were no holding lights anyway) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted June 1, 2015 Share #9502 Posted June 1, 2015 Many T/Os crawl between the junction and Chauncey southbound on the for some reason, even though the signals are all green. Same goes for the Brooklyn IRT southbound between Nevins and Atlantic. Might be because of the numerous amount of switches in both areas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and its downhill between the Junction and Chauncey St. Speed limit enforced there with no timers Nevins has timers all over 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because the has the same terminals 24/7 where's the alternates between Astoria and 57th, crews don't have to change the rollsigns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S78 via Hylan Posted June 3, 2015 Share #9513 Posted June 3, 2015 Was anyone here caught in the delays that happened with the and about half an hour ago? Apparently, there was a "sick passenger" at Van Siclen Av, so my was held at Broadway Junction while two other Jamaica bound trains terminated there and were sent back to Manhattan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R42Ctrain4069 Posted June 3, 2015 Share #9514 Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) I know that we all want to put this subway conquesting shit behind us but here is a quote from Ryan Terry's mother about Keyshawn Yes—we all knew that his mom worked for MTA. But we were not trying to put her name in this as she is innocent and we are not trying to jeopardize her job!!! It was not because of her that they all got involved in the train culture. Many of these kids like my son have dreams of working for the MTA. And many of these kids go to Transit Tech High School. Keyshawn goes to Edward R. Murrow High School. With the many friends they have at Transit Tech, this is also how they get hold of the keys. And the MTA does not have the most upgraded tech equipment and video surveillance. These kids like my son have been taking the trains their whole life, so they know which stops have video & which stops do not. They know where to run so they are not caught.

Javier Posted June 4, 2015 Share #9515 Posted June 4, 2015 Are we really talking about this again. I agree with the Mom, I loved trains since I was . But you don't see me breaking into trains and fooling around with the doors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
