Those afternoon ‘s are put-ins from the yard. They run local to Manhattan, then head to Brooklyn and Queens as regular skip-stop trains. If I had to guess, they sign the trains as such to save time from changing rollsigns in each car. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, its what S78 via Hylan said. In the AM, trains run to Manhattan in skip stop, then local back to Broadway Junction. In the PM, trains run local from Broadway Junction to Broad Street, then skip stop back to Queens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted December 18, 2017 Share #17328 Posted December 18, 2017 Don't know if mentioned elsewhere, but there were several R46's on the this weekend (some are still out now). It's great, because it eliminates all that running, and allows for less crowded trains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the Manhattan Skip-stop trip, the starts from Broadway Junction to Jamaica Center. So, basically, it's a round trip from/to Broadway Junction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted December 19, 2017 Share #17334 Posted December 19, 2017 Since there are trains using R46 subway cars, my question is are the R46s out of Pitkin Yard or 207 St will handle the R46s just like the R160A-1s? (same with the R32s on the out of Pitkin) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted December 19, 2017 Share #17338 Posted December 19, 2017 There's a huge gap in service, the Broad street bound train was 18 minutes away from Fulton street in the middle of rush hour.

The train was the R179, it didn't show up on the countdown clock at Fulton Street for some reason. Train still got hammered though. I had just gotten off an to Far Rock which was an 32, I wanted to ride it all the wau out there but didn't feel like it, I rode the TAs oldest train and newest one back to back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subway fanatic Posted December 20, 2017 Share #17341 Posted December 20, 2017 1. Why did it take 13 years 1988-2001 (Not Sept 30, 1990 reopening included) for the NYCDOT to repair the south side of the Manhattan Bridge when north side took 2-3 years in each time period 1986-1988 & 2001-2004? Because according to wiki, they say the tracks were used the heaviest. If that was the case, why did it take years to get work done on the south side? It seems to me that before 1988, Broadway was more heavily used with 2. What was it like riding along Broadway with no express service in years between 1988-2001 with just the ? 3. When the final north side closure of Manhattan Bridge occurred in 2001, with the replacing the on Brighton, did it make sense to use the ? When got cut back from Coney Island in Sept 2002, it ran exactly like but just local in Brooklyn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted December 20, 2017 Share #17342 Posted December 20, 2017 (edited) JoeKorner is updated, and apparently as well as the R46 AM put in (btw not official on the assignments), there also seems to be a PM run of R68s for the .

R42N Posted December 20, 2017 Share #17346 Posted December 20, 2017 There’s a few mistakes on the Joe Korner page: A. The Shuttle actually has 24 cars, not 12. There are two sets in service, and two in reserve in the yard that have entered service whenever the other sets need maintenance. B. The / has at least four sets of R68’s, if not five, not three (24 cars). I see four distinct sets frequently on my commute. C. Considering no one has ever seen the R68 on the , my guess is it’s on the / . D. Clearly, the does not have 464 cars, that’s obscene. E. Official or not, the is at least 1/3 and at least 1/2 R160 during the weekend, yet there is no mention of it here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR503 Posted December 20, 2017 Share #17347 Posted December 20, 2017 Totally unrelated, but does anyone have/know where I could find older (1990s) subway schedules? Am now curious to see how runtimes have changed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The assignments are supposed to show how many trains are in service and yes there should have been listed 40 R68/R68A for the and only 280 R160s only because it seems impossible for the yard to pump out 300 R160s daily for the and have inspections done, so they use R68s instead. Thats why now you’re likely seeing multiple R68s on the when they used to appear mostly on the the train assignment was accidentally input twice (one for R68 and the other for R68A). the assignments only show rush hour service and not late night/weekend fleet changes Edited December 21, 2017 by darkstar8983 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This roster sheet only lists the official in-service assignments, hence the only having 12 R42s and there only being 3 R68s on the and no mention of the R160 or R143 The thing with the is just a column error... the R68A line should say zero. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
