NYCTSignals Posted July 7, 2011 Share #4 Posted July 7, 2011 they was a man hole fire so that probably means the primary and reserve powers are down........they said athey were bringing in generators so thats gona be a while till they connect em to the signal power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious2train Posted July 7, 2011 Share #6 Posted July 7, 2011 I was about to say "not important" until I read this. Anyway... needless to say, this stinks. My mother is going to blow a gasket or something... Granted, there are bus alternatives people in downtown Brooklyn can use, but aside from the B41 or such, how many might think of that? Maybe I should get around to calling my mom and warning her, lol @Chrisliz: do you or Con Ed have a time frame? Just curious... EDIT: Update, as of 5:38 P.M., (MTA)'s site says the trains are apparently running again with delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRT Bronx Express Posted July 7, 2011 Share #11 Posted July 7, 2011 <Image>Apparently, you missed the point. The OP posted "no service in brooklyn due too signal problems at atlantic ave no (5)". I was going to say what I intended to post because signal problems are NOTHING NEW or RARE. I checked the MTA website after looking at this thread, hence, why I posted this link. @chrisliz09: My apologies for making that remark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like signal problems caused by fires are more important than signal fires. Or something.

IntExp Posted July 8, 2011 Share #15 Posted July 8, 2011 It was pretty chaotic on the - At Brooklyn Bridge, the platforms were dangerously crowded, and at Atlantic Ave, there were TD Cops who did not know how to guide the passengers. It did not help that service was rerouted at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abba Posted July 8, 2011 Share #18 Posted July 8, 2011 Interestingly enough at Franklin Ave the Countdown clocks were off but the announcements were functional even though there were trains coming in and out.I wonder if they turned them off so to guide people away from the station.

Wallyhorse Posted July 8, 2011 Share #20 Posted July 8, 2011 Perhaps this would have been a good time to do an emergency extension of the (J)/(Z) to Prospect Park to handle the excess passengers from the (2)/(3)/(4)/(5) at Brooklyn Bridge and Fulton Street, especially with the (A)/© having its problems at the same time. That would have allowed those passengers to use 7th Avenue if they normally go to Grand Army Plaza and after a transfer to the at Prospect Park, Botanic Garden if they normally use the Franklin Avenue (2)/(3)/(4)/(5) station. It might have inconvenienced those who take the (:P/(Q), but this was a special situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
