IND Rockaway Shuttle SIRR 8 Av 6 Av Broadway Thats actually a good question to me... But besides those lines they could likely put some cars to serve the portion of the Second Ave Subway, primarily the and future if the next phases are built. The could maybe get them too but thats "only my prediction." As far as any other lines, to early to predict. If all goes well and steady with the R211 order which in total is 1,025 with a futher option order of 520 more totaling to 1,545, I think it all depends on were the R179s will ultimately end up and what lines end up with some service enhancements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junion Posted October 27, 2016 Share #13959 Posted October 27, 2016 8313-8316 is back in service on the . You can tell this set hasn't seen service in a while cause the cars look relatively new. Why wasn't it in service all this time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted October 27, 2016 Share #13960 Posted October 27, 2016 Why wasn't it in service all this time?It was testing a new type of CBTC system up and down the line. Spent most of the time in Coney Island yard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the Horn Posted October 27, 2016 Share #13962 Posted October 27, 2016 He actually proposed it before the MTA even considered it. He was right on that one. That is most definitely true.

RestrictOnTheHanger Posted October 27, 2016 Share #13966 Posted October 27, 2016 Why are there some speed signs with non-round numbers? "D13" on the uptown at Penn, "23 miles" on the Forest Hills bound track at Steinway come to mind, but im sure there are many others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union Tpke Posted October 28, 2016 Share #13967 Posted October 28, 2016 The Pennsylvania Avenue station on the No. 3 line in Brooklyn will be closed for about a month as the MTA scrambles to repair damage that happened when a truck slammed into the elevated structure Thursday morning. The box truck collided with the base of the East New York platform at about 5:45 am. Train service on the line was suspended for an hour. Engineers found the steel structure and the tracks to be sound, but the mezzanine needs to be repaired, said agency officials. The MTA will run a shuttle between the Pennsylvania Avenue and the Van Siclen Avenue stops while the repairs are completed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prefixes like D/GT/ST are for the appropriate timers in that area. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"D13" on the uptown at Penn, "23 miles" on the Forest Hills bound track at Steinway come to mind, but im sure there are many others. There are a lot of others: "16 miles" leaving 57/7 on 1 track, and "17 miles" leaving DeKalb towards the tube. I have no clue why they don't end in a 5 or 0 though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallyhorse Posted October 28, 2016 Share #13970 Posted October 28, 2016 Honestly you guys are making it sound as if it looks like this: The new signs aren't perfect but they also aren't horrible. ^No, if Wally becomes chairman. That is most definitely true. He proposed it at least two years before it happened and was soundly ridiculed on SubChat for it. That is true. There was one poster in particular who was angry about the change when it went through because he happened to live near the 2nd Avenue station (the terminal for the ) and not being able to get a seat there. And yes, I was ridiculed about it by some, but I saw where that made sense to combine the two lines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porter Posted October 28, 2016 Share #13973 Posted October 28, 2016 Is it true that all lines with colored bullets, namely the ⓈⓈ, were always intended to be temporary due to some construction issue (the rebuilding of a bridge or renovation of a tunnel, for instance)? Only the black/grey lines seem to stick around indefinitely. Interestingly, the decided to use the old designation instead of the Ⓢ during the Sandy recovery period. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downtown s can't transfer to the uptown at 50 St, and no one would want to take an uptown to a downtown at 50 St, so the uptown announcements get no special treatment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
