Supossably they're going to send some 46's over to the Rockaways so that the (H) can run OPTO. They really need to either get those R42's off the (C) line, or make them 10 cars, since they have to stop at the 10 car marker in order to give the C/R a board to point to, which means that passengers at some stations need to dash 150 ft just to get into the rear car if they were waiting at the arriving end of the platform.

 

 

So it's still a lot better than the huge distance (G) train passengers have to run.

I have two questions.

 

How would these station names appear on the FIND Displays?

 

-Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center

-Borough Hall

-81 St-Museum of Natural History

-Central Park North-110 St

-149 St-Grand Concourse<BRONX>

 

And in what situation would the station names on the FIND maps include/exclude the neighborhood/area from the station name?

For example, on the (E) train, the FIND would read "Briarwood-Van Wyck Blvd"; on the (F) train, the FIND would read 179 St (omitting

"Jamaica-" part.

 

Thanks,

Zachary

While I was railfanning on the (C) local from 168 to Euclid in the southbound side with the R32, an (A) that we made a connection to at Canal (which was held since the (C) was late due to a (B) and a (E) infront of it as well as another (A)) and passed us from Clinton-Washington to Franklin got held at Broadway Junction for some reasons. We make a connection to that same (A) like we did at Canal and passed us when we were heading to Franklin.

If anyone is on the IND Eighth Avenue Line heading out to either 125 or 145 Streets and you get on the (C) first, ALWAYS stay on it and transfer at 59 Street-Columbus Circle if an (A) or a (D) express pulls into the station at the same time or 2 minutes after. If you're on the (C) first, never change if the (A) pulls into West 4 Street, 14 Street or 42 Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal. As Snowblock pointed out, there can be a (D) that will cross right in front of it. You never know. The 14-59 Express isn't even about saving time anyway.
