Calvin Posted January 22, 2016 Share #11701 Posted January 22, 2016 The R142 set with the combo strip maps -- 6504, I think? Anyway, is the new map set the same one with the experimental short announcements? 6506-6510 and nope 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenSin Posted January 22, 2016 Share #11702 Posted January 22, 2016 Some conductors take it upon themselves to create cross-platform transfer opportunities even though it wouldn’t make sense. Today’s waited at Kings Highway for a that it passed by at Avenue M. I saw that there was another that just left Kings Highway. So to help the folks skip 2 stops, this conductor would risk screwing the passengers out of the opportunity to catch the up ahead. Thankfully, the train operator was so damn slow on the leading . We caught up at Sheepshead Bay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteriousBtrain Posted January 22, 2016 Share #11704 Posted January 22, 2016 Looks like the cold weather plan is in effect for tonight's storm. I just saw a wrong rail at 3 av and go into storage on the express track, causing all trains to be local as usual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted January 23, 2016 Share #11705 Posted January 23, 2016 My held at Jay St around 01:30 for a minute or so while police officers standing at each car interval got in and checked the cars out. I assume they're looking for a certain individual? Evidently they didn't find him, because we left and they returned to the platform empty-handed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted January 23, 2016 Share #11706 Posted January 23, 2016 Is the system completely shut down at 4? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted January 23, 2016 Share #11707 Posted January 23, 2016 The railroads will shut down at 4pm. The MTA will try to run as much service on the subway as possible. As of this post, the following lines are not running: E 180 Street to Dyre Av Rockaway Blvd to Far Rockaway 59 Street to Stillwell Av Canal St to Stillwell Av Franklin Ave Rockaway Park 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNewYorkElevated Posted January 23, 2016 Share #11710 Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) b/d grand st station is underground, why is that closed? There are no crossovers on the after Broadway-Lafayette. The line doesn't see that again until after crossing the Manhattan Bridge into Brooklyn.

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted January 23, 2016 Share #11711 Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) A map has been posted on the MTA website for the service running until further notice (EDIT: looks like somebody beat me to it, lol). http://alert.mta.info/sites/default/files/Underground%20Map%20with%20Service%20Guide.pdf Most of Southern Brooklyn, the Rockaways, most of the Northeast and the Northwest Bronx, and Staten Island have no public transit options at this time (essentially locked in where they are).

Around the Horn Posted January 23, 2016 Share #11712 Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Just see this on YouTube, not something that happens very often I love me some Siemens! Best propulsion on the R160, blows that annoying Alstom out of the water! Great map. I saved this one: https://www.ny.gov/sites/ny.gov/files/atoms/files/UndergroundMapwServiceGuide.pdf So this is what the subways will be after 4PM? I ask because the was running between Whitehall and 57 St (this was around 2 PM). I felt bad for three people in my car (very nice people- had a chat with them) trying to get to Avenue J.

CenSin Posted January 23, 2016 Share #11715 Posted January 23, 2016 The builders of yesteryear were right when they chose to build an extensive underground network of rails instead of more elevated lines. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CenSin Posted January 23, 2016 Share #11717 Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Does anyone want to take a shot at finding all the mistakes on the temporary map? I found quite a few already. Have a look at the stations along Queens Boulevard between Queens Plaza and Jackson Heights–Roosevelt Avenue. (Are they stations without names or are they newly-built platforms?)

MichalkaManiac Posted January 23, 2016 Share #11719 Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Apparently, the is replicating the for its entire modified segment. From 59th Street/4th Avenue to 59th Street/Lex via the tunnel. Could it be more logical to just suspend the altogether, like the ? Or even: Have the run via from Continental to 59th/4th (back during Sandy, the terminated at Jamaica Center), while the runs its Bay Ridge shuttle all day.

MichalkaManiac Posted January 23, 2016 Share #11720 Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Good luck trying to transfer to the LIRR at Hunterspoint or Penn (and Metro-North at Grand Central). Funny thing is, when the Night Map was first released in January 2012, it also erroneously showed the Hunterspoint and LIC LIRR connections, but has since been removed in current revisions. Also the most recent version of the Night Map (September 2015), which added 34th St , also restored the stop at Jay Street, which had still been missing during its September 2014 revision to reflect the Montague Tubes' reopening. So this shouldn't be much of a surprise. The needed to take lots of work in doing this, and they were bound to bypass some blunders along the way.

I’ve already done this kind of work before as a hobby. There’s not that much work when edits like this are made. Most of the work is drawing the lines and putting in the station names in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntExp Posted January 23, 2016 Share #11722 Posted January 23, 2016 Just a quick question: if the snow is supposed to stop at around 2:00am, is it a safe bet to make that service will be back up at around 5:00 am? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at the stations along Queens Boulevard between Queens Plaza and Jackson Heights–Roosevelt Avenue. (Are they stations without names or are they newly-built platforms?) I suppose that's their half-assed way of showing local service. They didn't want to or didn't have the artistic ability to move the lines that show the E and F, so they just added dots to indicate stops along the local tracks. Design brilliance it is not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntExp Posted January 23, 2016 Share #11725 Posted January 23, 2016 Depends, think they can take care of the ice and snow on the tracks in three hours? I would assume that they would have deicer/snow blower/ghost trains running around the shut down lines to prevent ice/snow from settling in, no....? (Of course, I could be naively wrong, so please correct me if I am) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
