QM1to6Ave Posted August 21, 2019 Share #22001 Posted August 21, 2019 Anyone know how many more weekends the "major switch replacement " GO will be in effect on the 1/2/3 on 7th Ave? It's been making my weekend commute a big pain in the butt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not a fleet swap. The borrowed R62s that weekend because it didn’t have access to its home yard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, answered above. Also, if there is a swap, then this will conflict with the because of Flatbush Av. ---- Also, the ex. shuttle units that's on the now has the looped stanchions with single lined rollsigns and also re positioned (1931, 1927, 1952 and 1940). 1923 is now in the middle of the 5-car set between 1927 and 1952 Edited August 22, 2019 by Calvin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metropolitan Av to 145 St The has to be one of my favorite subway lines of all time. The is that one line that can literally go anywhere the feels like it. The can go to Forest Hills, Jamaica, To Broad/Chambers Street. It can go down West End, and it used to go down to Brooklyn like Coney Island back in the day, and it has gone into Euclid Av before. If the wanted to, they can send the down brighton instead of the to Prospect Park, or to do the Brighton express on weekends. More reccently, we've got the going up to 96 St, and now up CPW. I love how flexible the has become. Its not just a Myrtle Av Shuttle, but a line that can be used on every major B division trunk line when needed. No other train comes close.

I’d say the is pretty close if not number 1. The has intervals that either start/terminate at Bowling Green, Utica, Flatbush, New Lots, E180, Nereid, White Plains, and Dyre every weekday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted August 23, 2019 Share #22018 Posted August 23, 2019 Shout out to that TSS and RCI who just so happened to be at the right place at the right time and got the air conditioning restarted on an R32 train I was on earlier. They did it while the train was moving and making station stops too, which impressed the hell out of me because I'm not used to seeing such an efficient operation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted August 23, 2019 Share #22019 Posted August 23, 2019 IMO, It's kind of interesting that the currently is one of the only lines to use all types of tech trains in the B Division, before the line was mostly SMEE equipment 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I was just curious as to why the does not run its entire route beginning in the morning on Sundays like almost all the lines generally do, though some do start an hour later as 7 or even 8-9-ish or so.

Daniel The Cool Posted August 24, 2019 Share #22025 Posted August 24, 2019 They fixed the issues on the Train to 145th Street program. They now have it probably announced as 145th Street Bound Trains and Brooklyn Bound Trains via the Line. The exterior readings has also been fixed as well. However about half the sets still don't have the program at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
