Broadway Local Posted April 26, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 26, 2011 Today somewhere around 4:30pm-6pm, I saw 4 Manhattan bound Trains. One was skip-stop and three are local. Does anyone know what caused the Manhattan bound Trains to run on the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lance25 Posted April 26, 2011 Share #2 Posted April 26, 2011 If I had to take a wager, I'd say it was due to the signal problems at Bergen St, but I could be wrong and it could have been because of something completely unrelated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know what caused the Manhattan bound Trains to run on the line? Signal problems at Bergen St. Manhattan bound. In order to get the F's into Manhattan to get the folks out to Queens, good dispatching gets the job done by rerouting F's via whichever means were necessary.

TwoTimer Posted April 27, 2011 Share #4 Posted April 27, 2011 Which is out the back door, in this case. West End chosen as its the same trunk in Manhattan instead of going up the Sea Beach or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted April 27, 2011 Share #5 Posted April 27, 2011 Funny, I saw a on the local at Bway-Laf. (uptown) in the evening and I knew they used to have a put-in around that time that ran light over the Culver and went into service there around that time, and wasn't sure they still had that. But just checking the timetables now, I see they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTimer Posted April 27, 2011 Share #6 Posted April 27, 2011 Yup 324 job, making a 926 out of Bway-Lafayette. I have no idea why that's there but the WAA isn't enough to make up a train for service and bring it lite there, I wonder where they get the train from.

They use a train that just gets in the station and take it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's to create a 20-minute gap for getting the work trains out of 38th Street Yard for the night. It's not exactly the greatest bit of design to put the work train yard there, but it would be ridiculously expensive to change it now. The train itself runs light from Coney Island (Yard?) over the Culver Line. AIUI, they get it from a D train that lays up at Coney Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTimer Posted April 27, 2011 Share #10 Posted April 27, 2011 Or just take a layup from Stillwell terminal, run it thru the yard and out the Culver end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38th Street Yard Posted April 28, 2011 Share #11 Posted April 28, 2011 Funny, I saw a on the local at Bway-Laf.

But just checking the timetables now, I see they do. It's so the WORKTRAINS from 38th street yard can go north it allows a 20 min headway so they can get most of them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted April 29, 2011 Share #12 Posted April 29, 2011 Some problem at Bergen this evening, southbound, and the in front of me changed into a at W4. (So another glimpse of a R160 !) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
