It would, though it may take away the decaying aspect some people like about it in it's current form. Also, what about graffiti artists and vandals? They'll find a way to ruin it even if good security is implemented. Isn't that one of the reasons Jamaica Van Wyck had it's ones closed for good? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the interests of the general rider trump that of some rail fan whining about the good old days of R32s and Redbirds. Most people don't like wallowing in dirt and grime and rats. The skylights were closed because they're in Jamaica. Contrary to what the developers would like you to believe, Jamaica and Downtown Manhattan don't have all that much in common. It's right under city government, for Christ's sake. Edited October 31, 2018 by bobtehpanda 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it, didn't think of location in my original thoughts. I'm also presuming the station will have to be renovated as well for this to occur; since skylights will look odd under the existing structure for me personally and cost more money to build, since I originally thought otherwise for some reason.

They said the same thing about Downtown Bk, now look. Perhaps the Skylights will make a comeback to Jamaica Van Wyck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted October 31, 2018 Share #19862 Posted October 31, 2018 For anyone who has been around Bay Ridge or any other neighborhood for the Marathon, what do they with the subway? Are there any station closures, can people move from one side of the sidewalk to the other? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted November 1, 2018 Share #19869 Posted November 1, 2018 Why am I not surprised? Now if only they could get around to removing those over-abbreviated signs on the 188s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abba Posted November 2, 2018 Share #19872 Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) Today I heard the on scanner the train operator of N train announce the incident at 20av. I can’t day exactly what I heard but I will say say he sounded very upset 😢 .Also I happenend to be going to 86st on R line when the Jay St incident occurred . At Atlantic Platform was packed ! I was first thinking why not run some trains local but it’s very hard to do that since they have to stop at DeKalb and merge with the and . One went local 2 ‘s cane went express . I took one and for heaven sake why do we have to wait 3 min to get into 36th st .Why dosnet the train operator announce himself by like 25th and then they will just give the lineup. I don’t understand. Especially with countdown clocks don’t the tower operators know what train is coming ?

VIP Posted November 3, 2018 Share #19875 Posted November 3, 2018 The “Cuomo scheme” R160 was on the yesterday. And now most the sets are getting mixed in with the standard dull R160s. Also like to add that some sets have the wrap partially removed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
