S78 via Hylan Posted April 23, 2017 Share #15577 Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) permanent change: no skip stop between Marcy and Bway Junction forever? did anyone else hear about this I didn't hear anything about permanent, but that is supposed to happen only during the Myrtle Ave Viaduct rehab.

Lawrence St Posted April 23, 2017 Share #15579 Posted April 23, 2017 It's becoming hot again and I really hope RCC won't have a big power failure like they did last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel The Cool Posted April 23, 2017 Share #15580 Posted April 23, 2017 It's becoming hot again and I really hope RCC won't have a big power failure like they did last year. 60-70 degrees is not even hot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted April 23, 2017 Share #15581 Posted April 23, 2017 60-70 degrees is not even hot. There is the potential for 80+ next weekend, and possibly a heatwave. Depends where the area of high pressure moves during the week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence St Posted April 23, 2017 Share #15582 Posted April 23, 2017 60-70 degrees is not even hot. Apparently I wasn't being clear enough, I meant that summer is approaching which means hot temperatures. I thought I was clear on that, guess not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR503 Posted April 24, 2017 Share #15583 Posted April 24, 2017 Why did the IND change Nostrand avenue from being 1 level to 2 level during construction? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted April 24, 2017 Share #15584 Posted April 24, 2017 Why did the IND change Nostrand avenue from being 1 level to 2 level during construction? Nostrand was supposed to be a local station like Kingston-throop and others at the time, with the "upper level" being a mezzanine. But of course plans changed and the mezzanine now holds express tracks. Don't know why the change occured though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far Rock Depot Posted April 24, 2017 Share #15585 Posted April 24, 2017 Why did the IND change Nostrand avenue from being 1 level to 2 level during construction?Probably to avoid building foundations in the area. It is just below street level unlike Utica which is about 2-3 levels down. Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the Horn Posted April 24, 2017 Share #15587 Posted April 24, 2017 A general reminder to those who are interested in recording or photographing Bay Ridge Avenue in its pre-renovation state: You must do so before Friday at 11PM as the below 59 Street will be closed all weekend, due to prep work. The MTA website says it will close 5AM May 1st, but that is not accurate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agar io Posted April 24, 2017 Share #15588 Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Hoyt-Schermerhorn surprises me more, though I suppose any switches there wouldn't be very necessary, seeing as the sensible routes (Culver->8th Av and Crosstown -> Fulton) are not the tracks that are next to each other. Good point. The only possible routes that would use said switches would be one of these options: The MTA wants to send a route down the Crosstown Line, then up to the Bronx or Inwood - or else the route would be a lasso-shaped loop. The MTA wants to create a route that is wholly within Brooklyn (and maybe Queens) - but that would probably have low ridership since it would probably run local on the Culver line and express on the Fulton line, even though the express doesn't even serve Manhattan. A general reminder to those who are interested in recording or photographing Bay Ridge Avenue in its pre-renovation state: You must do so before Friday at 11PM as the below 59 Street will be closed all weekend, due to prep work. The MTA website says it will close 5AM May 1st, but that is not accurate. Incidentally, that means that the closest open stations to 59 St during construction will be 45 St and 77 St. It's going to be a long walk for the riders in between, but I guess having two stations closed for construction (three after June) would make the slightly faster.

Future ENY OP Posted April 24, 2017 Share #15589 Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Just spotted the electronic subway ads on 9163-9167 and 9148-9152 group on the line. Only guessing those set of cars just recently got retrofitted. Edited April 24, 2017 by Future ENY OP 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTK246 Posted April 25, 2017 Share #15590 Posted April 25, 2017 (edited) The now has signage indicating express service on Broadway and local service on 7 Av displayed as 'BWAY EXP/7 AV LCL' Edited April 25, 2017 by CTK246 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted April 25, 2017 Share #15591 Posted April 25, 2017 The now has signage indicating express service on Broadway and local service on 7 Av displayed as 'BWAY EXP/7 AV LCL' My guess is that it will be used for certain GOs? Like the one last weekend, where and trains ran local south of 42 St. Is that how the stops are listed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco Posted April 25, 2017 Share #15592 Posted April 25, 2017 Nostrand was supposed to be a local station like Kingston-throop and others at the time, with the "upper level" being a mezzanine. But of course plans changed and the mezzanine now holds express tracks. Don't know why the change occured though. According to Wikipedia, there are unused trackways on the lower level of the station. Is it possible the layout of this station was designed with the possibility of a connection to the Utica Avenue Line? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the turns at 14 and the runs local south of times square, hence Broadway express north of 42nd and 7 Ave local south of 42nd 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible the layout of this station was designed with the possibility of a connection to the Utica Avenue Line? No the unused trackways were going to be the express tracks. When they converted it to an express station, during construction IIRC, they routed the express tracks through the mezzanine, instead of building island platforms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MassTransitHonchkrow Posted April 25, 2017 Share #15596 Posted April 25, 2017 -Train is stopped by NYPD -2 people were removed from the train *The cause of this is 2 individuals hopped the turnstile from the other side of the station and ran to the train. This happens? ???????? Sent from my m8 using Tapatalk Why not? The NYPD needs to be paid to do something.Fare beaters are a liability by themselves. I've never seen that happen. But I'd be ???? it.People who can't contribute to the system aren't good for it. I don't like the fact that our fare is this high. But breaking the rules I don't like doesn't make them go away. More or less, not participating in hearings and the civic process doesn't make problems go away either. Like any untreated disease, it festers.

I think the turns at 14 and the runs local south of times square, hence Broadway express north of 42nd and 7 Ave local south of 42nd They'll probably update the transfer announcements for the and Brooklyn segment as well. IINM they did take out the weekend Borough Hall transfer during the Montague shutdown. The now has signage indicating express service on Broadway and local service on 7 Av displayed as 'BWAY EXP/7 AV LCL' The local south of 42nd is common enough on the weekends (it happens about 9 out of every 10 weekends now) that its own separate route program was warranted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 28th at just after 11PM is the last train before it closes. The posters and brochures say April 29th and as I mentioned, the website says 5AM May 1st. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
