Union Tpke Posted January 24, 2016 Share #11726 Posted January 24, 2016 I just saw snow at the platform at 65th Street. I will post a picture soon. I had to go through all this snow! It is a mess out there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted January 24, 2016 Share #11727 Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) Just a reminder to everybody that despite some confused--but still sure of themselves--people's remarks, it is completely legal to walk around outside today. It is driving that will lead to a fine, not walking. Surprised anybody even failed to understand this.

paulrivera Posted January 24, 2016 Share #11728 Posted January 24, 2016 They turned off the train arrival data sources this time around. So much for tracking potential phantom trains... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTK246 Posted January 24, 2016 Share #11730 Posted January 24, 2016 Based off of the (7)'s rerouting today. Wouldn't it just say 'SHUTTLE' instead of '42 ST LOCAL'? Besides, the word "Local" doesn't exist to the MTA, it's "LCL". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted January 24, 2016 Share #11735 Posted January 24, 2016 So far, most lines are restored with delays but, the would be the last lines to resume schedule, just like the previous hurricane that occurred way back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenSin Posted January 25, 2016 Share #11736 Posted January 25, 2016 So far, most lines are restored with delays but, the would be the last lines to resume schedule, just like the previous hurricane that occurred way back The Brighton and Sea Beach lines are essentially snow reservoirs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted January 25, 2016 Share #11737 Posted January 25, 2016 The - Brighton line and - Sea Beach line are back to normal, but, expect slow speeds on the Express 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS4Ever Posted January 25, 2016 Share #11738 Posted January 25, 2016 I have a huge question. ..been doubtful of this situation When i take the trains late at night i can see many trains stored as resting (between 169 st and 75 ave) due for returning service ontime for the day beginning runs Now the question I'm asking is how does the motorman exit (or enter if to begin service next day) the stored trains does it wait for a next upcoming train and thus uses the doors between the end peak of the trains and keeps walking until it reaches a nearby subway station. ..forgetting it has to jump in and out as an acrobat since the door and the tracks are 150 cm high (almost a height of a normal human being) ...also that same question goes backwards when beginning service next day Or does it await a garbage car train and laps between the parked trains and the garbage trains Help me resolve this doubt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted January 25, 2016 Share #11739 Posted January 25, 2016 Can someone please explain what bellmouth is to me? I keep hearing it on QBL and at Bay Ridge, what is it?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted January 25, 2016 Share #11740 Posted January 25, 2016 Can someone please explain what bellmouth is to me? I keep hearing it on QBL and at Bay Ridge, what is it?? It's an incomplete segment of a line, built for in case a line was t be made in the future. Ex. the two unused tunnels between Roosevelt island and Lex-63rd that will connect to 2 av in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterious2train Posted January 25, 2016 Share #11741 Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Is the connection between 57/7 and 63rd/Lex out of service? No. It's perfectly usable. Rerouted trains will still use the line sometimes in an emergency, and they just switch to the Queens-bound line right outside Lex Av-63 St station, like always. Edit: Better 10 days late than never.

YankeesPwnMets Posted January 25, 2016 Share #11742 Posted January 25, 2016 I was waited almost an hour for the train during the aftermath of the blizzard. A T/O who was about to go on duty started a conversation with me (just to pass time, I guess) and said that he hated the NTTs because they couldn't get through snow, while cars like the 68s could easily just plow through snow. What do the T/Os here think about what he said? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon2305 Posted January 26, 2016 Share #11743 Posted January 26, 2016 Just saw a video of an R68A with the orange bullet taken during the day. Nice throwback moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted January 26, 2016 Share #11744 Posted January 26, 2016 Does anyone know how trains were terminating at 59 Street this weekend? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted January 26, 2016 Share #11745 Posted January 26, 2016 Today I had the weirdest commute. I got up from my friends house in Flushing (had to crash over there since Sunday since the city was a mess) to go to Westchester. I choose to take the instead of LIRR, railfanner instincts , and went to Main St. There was a R188 waiting to depart to Manhattan, and I got on 7881. The train wasn't signed up as anything, which I thought at first was because it had recently came from Corona. The doors closed and we departed, and right by when we reached the end of the tunnel, and I don't know if this was the conductor playing around, the sign suddenly got signed up as: LAST STOP I quickly fumbled for my phone to find out the thing died on me (Should not have been binge-watching...). I couldn't see the exterior signs since...well I was inside of the car. When we stop at Mets - Willets Point and the doors open, the announcement started like this: "This is Times Sq - 42 St bound tra-" which was then replaced by a sort of DING then some crackling noises. The doors closed and we continued on to 111 St. Next thing I know, the LED signs are now flashing green on one side and red on the other side, and the strip maps are flashing on and off. I knew that this was some sort of bug or some sort of test program for the R188. When we got to 111 St, the doors opened and no announcements played and just closed, without even saying "STAND CLEAR..." When we left, the flashing stopped, and it remained like that for a minute until a appeared on the LED Signs, but only a appeared, no "TO 34 ST" or "THE NEXT STOP IS". When the train stopped at 103 St, the announcement came on, but like this: "This is a Que-----This is a Manhatta-----This is a Manhatta-----This is a Manhattan Bound local train. The Next Stop Is, Junction Blvd" And then the signs finally came on and everything got programmed correctly. But I have a question, is the flashing strip maps and LED signs a bug or a test? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallyhorse Posted January 26, 2016 Share #11746 Posted January 26, 2016 Does anyone know how trains were terminating at 59 Street this weekend? It was noted elsewhere the trains actually continued without passengers on their normal routes to the outdoor sections where they were used as sweepers from what I understood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel The Cool Posted January 26, 2016 Share #11747 Posted January 26, 2016 No. It's perfectly usable.

trainfan22 Posted January 26, 2016 Share #11748 Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Today I rode an 143 , transferred at Broadway Junction to the which also was a 143.. Been wanting to get that combo since the got 143s... After I did what I had to do, I could have had the 143 going back home but I had to refill my metrocard and missed it, the next was a 160 though, rare to get a NTT both ways on the these days.

Ah wish I could've caught that, it's my favorite R188 too so that would've been cool to see. Caught it signed up as a Vernon-Jackson bound last week. Seeing it signed as a shuttle would've been cool though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dj Hammers Posted January 27, 2016 Share #11750 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) No its OOS right now until further notice. Just a yesterday, several northbound R's were rerouted via 6th Ave and then to the 63rd St line on G4 track. I rode one. The connection between Lex-63 and 57/7 is not out of service. G4 and G3 (I.E. on both levels under 63rd St) are out of service only east of the crossover between the Broadway-bound and 6th Ave-bound tracks.
