ladyjay114 Posted August 13, 2011 Share #1 Posted August 13, 2011 Its another bad day on the Q train :cry: There's a track fire between the Ocean Pkwy and West 8th Street stations. I can see the smoke and flame from my window. Lots of fire apparatus down here. Q trains ending at Brighton Beach and I haven't seen an F train pull into West 8th either. The B68 is PACKED. Share any developments if you have any.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Young+ Posted August 13, 2011 Share #2 Posted August 13, 2011 Someone on facebook who is a conductor said "F trains running on the D from Coney Island to West 4th street and Q running on the N via Sea Beach due to a Signal Room Fire at West 8th Street on the F."

MattTrain Posted August 13, 2011 Share #8 Posted August 13, 2011 It was actually a signal room underneath the Brighton line and next to the Culver Line on fire. I saw it myself going home, the fire was big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRG Posted August 13, 2011 Share #14 Posted August 13, 2011 The fire was serious...until further notice the will turn at Brighton Beach and the will turn at Avenue X. This is basically 2002 all over again as shuttle buses will replace service where the and aren't running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTA1992 Posted August 13, 2011 Share #18 Posted August 13, 2011 I heard from a passenger that went to Luna that the conductor said that signal box got overheated or something and caught fire... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadcruiser1 Posted August 13, 2011 Share #19 Posted August 13, 2011 Whatever the reason is the fire was bad, and there could be structural damage. I haven't forgotten the Myrtle Avenue Elevated Fire from my readings a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted August 14, 2011 Share #20 Posted August 14, 2011 Not sure ,but it looks like service might be restored. The MTA says this Home > Current Service Status / Subways-NQR Posted: 08/14/2011 12:59AM MTA Service Notice Following an earlier incident, train service has resumed with residual delays. But also says this as a regular detour No trains between Brighton Beach and Stillwell Av Free shuttle buses provide alternate service Until further notice (Q)trains operate between 57 St/7 Av, Manhattan and Brighton Beach, Brooklyn. Free shuttle buses run between Brighton Beach and Stillwell Av, making stops at Ocean Pkwy and West 8 St. As an alternative, please use and train service to and from S EDIT: On my radio i heard there was a train at Ocean Pkwy, so it appears service has resumed.Unless it was a light train.
