YankeesPwnMets Posted May 31, 2016 Share #12651 Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) I know what you mean but what i was saying was that the MTA could of allowed the to run local with the to prevent traffic jam on express tracks where it shared with . I was wondering if was doing okay when it ran solo on local stops. Rule of thumb: The MTA wants to prevent trains from switching in front of each other to the furthest extent possible. Look at the areas in the system where trains need to switch in front of each other. The junction at DeKalb and the junction at Franklin are choke points which limit capacity on every line involved. It would cause more of a jam for and trains to wait for each other compared to just having three lines run express. In addition, we are given these wonderful tools from nature known as our legs. 14th is a short walk from W4 and 23 is a short walk from 34, so there isn't much of a point in the first place Edited May 31, 2016 by YankeesPwnMets 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish that there was a way for it to go to use. Perhaps a line from SAS down the express tracks. However, there wouldn't be a place to terminate it on the south end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted May 31, 2016 Share #12653 Posted May 31, 2016 Question, pre 2001, what exactly were the routes that served all Coney Island Bound Lines in Brooklyn? I know that the used to be the full time West End line. The used to be the full time Brighton Line. The ? Used to be the Sea Beach Line. I don't know what served Culver. (Other then the Culver Shuttle) Was 4th Avenue served by the or the ? And when was the introduced? Was it introduced after the opening of the 63 connecter? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted May 31, 2016 Share #12654 Posted May 31, 2016 You know, a simple Wikipedia or Google search would quite easily yield faster results for these types of queries than asking the question here. If you did such a search, you'd know the did not exist as a route before July 2001. Also, the was around well before the 63rd Street-Queens Blvd connection. It just got rerouted to 6th Avenue because of Manhattan Bridge work. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porter Posted May 31, 2016 Share #12656 Posted May 31, 2016 1) Why is the〈Ｑ〉bullet missing from the emoticon bank, yet the and are available? 2) Why is the（Ｑ）bullet missing from the emoticon bank, yet the and are available? Both of these Q trains were present during the twenty-first century, and I thus believe that it would only be fair to provide them along with the other defunct variants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javier Posted June 1, 2016 Share #12660 Posted June 1, 2016 Most of the fleet. There's actually something I've noticed about the fleet with the new maps. On the late night shuttles, all stops from Dyre Av to Morris Park would light up, but East 180th wouldn't, instead Bronx Park East would light up. I haven't been on the shuttle in quite a while so I don't exactly know if that's still the case. Anyway, I'm surprised the MTA included the late night service on those maps as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
