Cause it probably wasn't in service and and most likely was an minor derailment? Trains probably have minor derailments in yards all the time, and never make the news or railfan sites. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, it did make it to the internet although people aren't going really crazy about it, I saw 1 post and not much talk about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The train itself didn't suffer terrible damage but the tracks, signals and switches, well that's another story...

MeeP15-9112 Posted September 18, 2020 Share #24734 Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) When the Montague and Clark St tubes were being fixed, the paper subway maps printed during that time were altered to show those changes. When the ran overnights to 96 St-2 Av, neither the online nor the paper subway maps reflected that service addition. When the was truncated from CI-Stilwell to 86 St, the online map was revised, but the paper maps that were still being printed DID NOT reflect in that change. Why doesn’t the TA maintain consistency with the online and physical maps? Edited September 18, 2020 by MeeP15-9112 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyer 230 Posted September 19, 2020 Share #24735 Posted September 19, 2020 I’m on a train to Jamaica Van Wyck and it sounds like they took the “Jamaica Van Wyck” stop announcement and stuck it in the place of “Jamaica Center” when the train announces where it’s bound. It’s a little sloppy but it gets the job done. However they have to update the FIND and the announcements to reflect that it will stop at 75th Ave and Briarwood during the evenings, and weekends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted September 19, 2020 Share #24736 Posted September 19, 2020 Caught one of those R46 Q trains early this morning after coming back from PABT (quarter after 7am or so)... Nice being the only person in that particular car from TSQ to Dekalb (which is where I got off), but to be fair, that is reverse peak.... Not seeing the Manhattan stations as hectic as they've been prone to being, is definitely going to take some getting used to.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted September 19, 2020 Share #24737 Posted September 19, 2020 Did the MTA stop posting printed papers displaying weekday/weekend G/Os? Lately, there wasn't any by the board at stations like Sheepshead Bay, Kings Highway etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know about Burnside Avenue, since I am not down there as often as I used to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the same guy that believes he should be able to live amongst the rich, solely because he's a good, law-abiding citizen.... Meritocracy be damned. Pinepower is & has always been a useful idiot to this community - you don't heed his takes on matters (unless your aim is to make a mockery of him), but he's good for bringing certain stories to the forefront that aren't/haven't been talked about (as much)..... Chucking the homeless into jails, at absolute best, is a band-aid solution.... Edited September 21, 2020 by B35 via Church 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he'll just "do this one video & that's it, because I said I can't keep doing this" regarding something transit related... Rinse..... wash.... repeat.... Same old tired ass M.O. When he can't muster up a cogent or a plausible counterargument to something, all of a sudden he's stressed out.... This is over 10 years of this charade with him....

Daniel The Cool Posted September 22, 2020 Share #24746 Posted September 22, 2020 Welp the IND had more "Fun" earlier. Trash can caused a huge track fire at West 4th Street shutting down 8th Avenue Line Service and all trains were bypassing the station. Oh and it was no accident unfortunately 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Releasing a mentally ill person back into society with no treatment is the real issue here. I was being sarcastic, and referring to something earlier. Mentally ill people fall victim to falling off on meds, which leads them to spiral off hard. They should definitely be treated, and checked on regularly by a nurse that can make sure they're on meds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
