Calvin Posted August 24, 2019 Share #22027 Posted August 24, 2019 Not to be negative on this, but: Is there a weight difference on the R62As and R188s? Seems that recently there was another peice of debris that fell from the line and has been going on during some times since the line went fully CBTC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. The I took this morning and it had the correct signage and announcements. I have to give the credit for this because I thought these updates wouldn’t happen since the up CPW is rare anyways.

Hopefully in the future they test these new programs before they put them on all the NTT's. Also, the door closing chime glitch is back on some sets on the . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GojiMet86 Posted August 26, 2019 Share #22035 Posted August 26, 2019 Just curious, which carrier is responsible for the phone wifi/internet around the Queensboro Plaza area? That area has been a deadspot for years and it seems like they will wait for the buildings to be built, which may take decades. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenSin Posted August 26, 2019 Share #22036 Posted August 26, 2019 What are the procedures for deciding when to take a train out of service? They took a out of service at Ocean Parkway—just out of reach of the . A eventually pulled up at Ocean Parkway but was not in service. That train with mechanical problems then left the station and headed to The Kings Highway northbound local track, stalling the next and at Avenue U for 5 minutes while it snaked its way back towards Coney Island via the southbound express track. This one incident cost me 30 minutes extra in commute time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNewYorkElevated Posted August 26, 2019 Share #22038 Posted August 26, 2019 Riding the R62s today throughout Manhattan and I see car numbers which remind me of the crucial years of the history of our world: 1776 on the - year of the creation of the United States 1492 on the - year that Christopher Columbus first discovered the Americas Just an interesting observation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R68OnBroadway Posted August 26, 2019 Share #22039 Posted August 26, 2019 Given how underused it is and how much real estate costs in the West Village, why don't they convert the mezzanine at West 4th into a Turnstyle-like market? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsons between Hillside & Archer is another deadzone, at least from my experience. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted August 27, 2019 Share #22041 Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Just a thought, baseball specials are common post games. For example, one is set for Second Av with another one to World Trade Center. How does the specials determine where to terminate to?

Supervision usually determine which terminals have capacity based on GOs and a rough estimate on where the crowd is originating (subway series, run service to Brooklyn, out of towners, run service to Midtown for PABT and Airport connections, etc). I've seen a bit of 2nd Ave though so they may just be sticking with that now. From what I've heard about those assignments, bring an empty water bottle just in case and stay hydrated in that hell-hole.

Same thing at Broadway Junction, the connection always seems to jam up there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jova42R Posted August 27, 2019 Share #22044 Posted August 27, 2019 Last night, I was riding the , and 3 weird things happened: 1. At 9th Av, I saw an R32 with a designation leading, Franklin Av rollsigns, then a second R32 with a Train to the Plane rollsign. After this, there were about 4 work train cars, then another R32 with no designation and another one with a designation. It was roughly 10:30 PM. 2. The ran express from 36th to Atlantic, then stopped at DeKalb (local), then went back to the normal route. Why? Is this a GO relating to the early ending of service? 3. When I got to 59 St, there were no s, and s were running local, yet it was only 11:30 PM (Late Night service starts at 12:00 AM), and when I got to the , there were 20-min headways, and the late night GO to Harlem-148 on the was in effect. What are these about? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The , , , , and , same thing. They end close to or around 11 p.m. daily as their full-time counterparts shift from their daytime service pattern to their overnight service pattern. Come November, these lines will end early than normal since they already keep ending them earlier than prior schedule. General orders also start much earlier than they used to or around 9:30 p.m.. Hence the upcoming November picks. The only exception is the train, however. Edited August 27, 2019 by Jemorie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R32s are used to propel the train, and the flatcars carry empty bins which are exchanged for full bins. 2: IINM normally late night service makes local stops on 4th Avenue, and also stops at DeKalb.

trainfan22 Posted August 27, 2019 Share #22050 Posted August 27, 2019 Used the Juilus St - Livonia Av transfer today and my goodness the train entrance is COVERED in bird poop, that entrance needs a good wash. The overpass over the Bay Ridge branch makes an nice railfan spot, there's an abandoned locomotive visible from the overpass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
