No The was rerouted to the Lexington and the ran on the line to 137th street from 96th street I believe. With every regular stop after 96th street being served by shuttle buses. 86th and 96th street were also closed briefly for FDNY investigation https://mymtaalerts.com/m?D8D32 Edited April 6, 2020 by NoHacksJustKhaks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collin Posted April 6, 2020 Share #23703 Posted April 6, 2020 In the Essential Service Plan, it seems trains that normally run express continue to run express unless they need to run local to replace a suspended service, regardless of headways. I wonder if there's a specific headway where express service no longer makes sense and it's better to send all trains local with more frequent service, and how it would be calculated. It would need to be determined at what point does the time saved with shorter wait times exceed the time saved with express service. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for the immediate weekend (since nothing was running on the Lenox Avenue line and trains were being rerouted). The week that followed, and trains were instructed to bypass the station during daytime hours, but nothing was running during overnight hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3F Posted April 6, 2020 Share #23705 Posted April 6, 2020 @Coney Island Av @trainfan22 I had some time to kill, so I decided to check out the GE R32s at Floyd Bennett Field. It turns out you can see them from one of the roads, and the cars appear to be in pretty decent condition on the outside. They still have their flipdots, rollsigns, and number plates. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyer 230 Posted April 6, 2020 Share #23711 Posted April 6, 2020 So the is running every 30 minutes according to the essential service plan. I wonder how those trains are looking now with the added wait. I know the amount of service that can be ran is depended on the amount of crew available, so I’m guessing a lot of them are sick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the could swap that pair for a regular Phase I R32 (maybe the mothballed 3786-3787) and restore it to operational condition (and put into the Museum Collection). That way, all three post GOH phases (I, II, GE) can be represented and be showcased. If ppl want a pre GOH representation, then this pair is the easiest to convert back to near pre GOH, seeing that the marker lights and the EXP/LCL holes are present, albeit currently patched. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely your typical train but 1000x worse. Its a wannabe Tokyo subway line, push and shove. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a few color circles on some 46s (not every one). Yellow = Jamaica, Blue Diamond = Pitkin -> That was before. 23 hours ago, MeeP15-9112 said: So thats what those dots are for! The blue diamonds IIRC were used on JA—Pitkin 46s and then there was the few that were involved in the JA—CI swap (5842-5). The B Division did have yard stickers back in the late '80s and early '90s, they were just never as widely used as stickers on the A Division. Cases in point: https://www.nycsubway.org/perl/show?2462 https://www.nycsubway.org/perl/show?4594 https://www.nycsubway.org/perl/show?50027 As to the R46s, the blue diamonds may have been something else; when they first were pasted on the cars there was talk that it was to denote air compressor modifications done on those cars- don't know the whole story though, an employee would probably know more about this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting @R10 2952. Looking at the photos, it seems that the yard sticker assignments are: half orange/yellow combo: Concourse full orange strip: CIY. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
