46Dover Posted May 23, 2016 Share #12602 Posted May 23, 2016 < Tried the subways yesterday to get to Trainworld in Brooklyn and it was a nightmare. > You'd have had a much easier time getting to sister store Trainland out in Lynbrook. And there are more nice diners out there to have lunch. I had just got off work in Dover, NJ and got into NY at 3:30pm. Didn't want to chance late departures out of Penn Station so I thought I'd make it quick if I went to the Brooklyn Store 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTS9000 Posted May 23, 2016 Share #12604 Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) I believe they tiled over the existing tiling. It looks nice, but I don't know if it'll help with structural integrity. Edited May 23, 2016 by RTS9000 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted May 23, 2016 Share #12605 Posted May 23, 2016 I believe they tiled over the existing tiling. It looks nice, but I don't know if it'll help with structural integrity. Again? I thought they learned their lesson when they redid Union Street southbound in the early 90's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They brought down the upper bricks only and installed new fiber glass ceiling panels. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B3 Via Av U Posted May 23, 2016 Share #12608 Posted May 23, 2016 I've been commuting to school on the subway for about 8 months now, and I've noticed, strangely, that I actually enjoy the sound of flat spots on the train, but only if it's a soft, quiet rhythmic sound like on the R68s. The loud, obnixous BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG and the obvious, feelable thumps on R160s aren't too pleasant. The quiet flatspot kind of reminds me of a steam locomotive, and since it's a quiet background noise I find it helps me relax and study/do my work on the train. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound is deafening when a train with flats goes by on an El Structure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RestrictOnTheHanger Posted May 25, 2016 Share #12613 Posted May 25, 2016 Looks like the new signals on the Manhattan bound express track at Roosevelt Ave station are activated. Are those timers? They are red, and when a train is close to the station, a white 20 appears briefly then all the signals on the platform go to yellow. Before that, the platform signals were green or yellow by default 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B3 Via Av U Posted May 25, 2016 Share #12615 Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) Rode an R46 with an unlocked end door today, my friends opened it for the fun of it. I notified the conductor about the door when I left the train. Also, why do R62s have that stupid latch on the end door that causes it to bounce back 5 times before closing?

RestrictOnTheHanger Posted May 26, 2016 Share #12618 Posted May 26, 2016 Station timer Let's hope this doesnt slow QBL even more. The local track has it too, and the other side is probably gonna get it very soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's a timer, service is being slowed down. Don't hope, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unlocked cab doors, but unlocked storm doors (the doors at the end of the car that take you to the next one.) It's still quite careless of the TA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I was passing thru on an to 71st around 7, I saw a Manhattan bound express coming in at a good clip. I'll have to have another look 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel The Cool Posted May 28, 2016 Share #12622 Posted May 28, 2016 There was R68/R68A mix set on the Train today. Caught it about half an hour ago out of nowhere. Video to be up soon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I love Trains99 Posted May 28, 2016 Share #12623 Posted May 28, 2016 Why Rockaway Park Shuttle isn't called the H train on the maps or public signs? Why MTA change the original Rockaway Park Shuttle sign and what exact year did MTA discontinue the H train not from post-sandy? I read that the H sign was discontinued in 1993 or 1994. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted May 28, 2016 Share #12624 Posted May 28, 2016 The MTA decided that all shuttles would receive the designation, rather than the former that was in place for the Rockaway Park shuttle. When the switched its full time terminals from Lefferts Blvd to Far Rockaway, which occurred on 26 October, 1992, the Rockaway Park shuttle was cut back from Euclid Av to its present terminus at Broad Channel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought October 23, 1992 was the day the was cut from Rockaway Park. I was asking what year and day the sign was discontinued on public subway signs because wiki and other sources say it was 1993 or 1994. I thought the Rush Hour Rockaway Park and full time service into Far Rockaway went into effect in early 1993. Why did the MTA decide that would be turned into ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
