I've been dealing with the photo-linking problem for a while now, though. Greatly appreciate any help. Well there's your problem; you have to include the file extension....

Thanks. Yeah, any time I tried the "Insert Image from URL" button, things never went through. And whenever I tried putting in an image directly from nycsubway.org or any other site, it would just show up like: For now, I'll just stick with using image-hosting places as a proxy. Still trying to wrap my head around some things since the last site update here on NYCTF, but I'll figure it out eventually. Been using computers since the turn of the millenium, but trying to keep up with technology I sometimes feel like CJ trying to follow the damn train 😆 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gong Gahou Posted April 9, 2020 Share #23753 Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) Since you are still copying the web page link instead of the image link, you need some clarification on this procedure. After you open the image in a new tab, you need to click on that newly-opened tab if the browser was not configured to immediately switch to it, and copy the link shown on that address bar. That will be the direct link to the image. A direct image link always ends with a file extension. It does not contain the same address information as the webpage with the embedded image; this is why adding the file extension to the end of a web page link does not work. Entering this link into your browser will display only the image and nothing else, except for a single-color background if necessary. The direct link for the image you are trying to embed is below: https://s3.amazonaws.com/nycsubway.org/images/i108000/img_108110.jpg Edited April 9, 2020 by Gong Gahou grammar corrections 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that passengers dont fall in between the cars and be crushed to death. This is because at the ends of each car, theres a large gap because its the end of the subway car. All cars (SMEE, NTT, and 75 footers) have some sort of barrier that serves this purpose; the SMEES have gates, and the NTTS and 75 footers have three spring chains.

The barriers in discussion are not supposed to prevent people crossing between cars from falling into the tracks; the six-chain barriers in-between cars serve that purpose. The role of the three-spring barriers/pantograph gates is to prevent straphangers on the platform from falling into the tracks. And if you are directing your response to the chain barriers: They are certainly not pointless. Even though the storm doors are locked, employees do cross between cars and passengers do cross during evacuations. As long as there will be people crossing between cars, some form of barrier will be necessary.

trainfan22 Posted April 11, 2020 Share #23767 Posted April 11, 2020 I hear the subway is damn near a wasteland now with dirty cars and piss and poop being common in the cars, poop BETWEEN the cars and ppl openly urinating inside the train rather than between the cars or on a subway pillar. Ridership is down 90 percent. I would imagine the employee shortage gotta be effecting the department that maintains the tracks too? I wonder if this train derailment is because they have a shortage of ppl inspecting the tracks. And if you think I'm crazy for suggesting this, derailments were common in the 70s & 80s "deferred maintenance" era and once the system improved in the 90s derailments hardly ever happened. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted April 11, 2020 Share #23768 Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) Seeing the 46s on the is unique: regular sign, or even the . Before that time, I first remembered seeing the first picture of the Second Av Subway station: 96 St and it was two SAS wraps that are 160s and its the main fleet for that line (including the via Sea Beach trippers). Btw, on the R46s running on the , are the 96 St codes formally the option or is a newly added code to the screen?

MHV9218 Posted April 12, 2020 Share #23771 Posted April 12, 2020 Some of those R46s have seriously old LCD programming. 71st-Continental for the Forest Hills trains has to be at least 15 years old, possibly original to GOH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should just let it end at Essex St all week. during these times its not about the ridership. Its about maintaining social distancing and ensuring that essential workers get from point A to point B. They didn't want to go to the "essential plan" but had to when they realized that too many crews were missing, causing a lot of gaps in subway service on every route. Subway service ws very spotty, with random gaps due to missing crews, so the solution was to transition to saturday service (but keeping the weekday train service) running. If it weren't for the low availability of train crews, we would have normal weekday service (like we did prior to March 23rd.) despite only 8% of daily ridership. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
