Vistausss Posted October 24, 2011 #1 Posted October 24, 2011 Note: I didn't make this video, just found it on YouTube. Especially towards the end are some rare announcements from Charlie, but also some rare destinations B)
2 Train Master Posted October 24, 2011 #2 Posted October 24, 2011 Nice the 1st 5 min 45 sec is a waste it isn't rare or special just a regular service or and G.O To New Lots via 8th Av. 5:50 and beyond is serious business! It's about time someone got the To Burnside via Jerome Local I have the express version.
Vistausss Posted October 25, 2011 Author #3 Posted October 25, 2011 "5:50 and beyond is serious business! It's about time someone got the To Burnside via Jerome Local I have the express version." I fully agree with you! B)
GojiMet86 Posted October 26, 2011 #5 Posted October 26, 2011 I heard that strip map announcement a lot Saturday. I'll thow in "This is an Eastchester-Dyre Avenue bound train" and "This is a Wakefield-241st Street bound local train".
SubwayGuy Posted October 26, 2011 #6 Posted October 26, 2011 So the CAN go to brooklyn. The 6 actually has a real selection of re-route possibilities. It can go to any of the Bronx terminals (except maybe 241st, I'd have to look that up to make sure it's not an option), and yes it can go to Brooklyn.

I read somewhere on Wikipedia (Or some other place) that the went to Brooklyn for about 1 day in the past. Is this true? And if so why?

And if so why? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6_(New_York_City_Subway_service) During Spring and Summer 1985, there was one rush hour 6 train that ran to/from Atlantic Avenue. This was the only 6 service to run in Brooklyn.

SubwayGuy Posted October 28, 2011 #11 Posted October 28, 2011 In a nutshell, numbered routes, except for the , can go anywhere? Any train can go anywhere in the system, given enough moves. Whether or not there's a route program is a different matter. Since the discussion in this thread has been generally pretty good, I'll throw up a bonus here... These are the RARELY SEEN R142 route programs for the 3 and 7 lines:
GojiMet86 Posted October 28, 2011 #12 Posted October 28, 2011 There's one for Hunterspoint and one for Grand Central. That's quite interesting.
Vistausss Posted October 28, 2011 Author #13 Posted October 28, 2011 There's one for Hunterspoint and one for Grand Central. That's quite interesting. Indeed. Wonder if it's ever been used.
SubwayGuy Posted October 29, 2011 #14 Posted October 29, 2011 The other thing to note is that not every train will have every route programmed in. Depends on hardware space restrictions as well as which programs were uploaded. All trains will have MOST of the routes, but not all trains will have all routes. For instance there are trains assigned to the 2 and 5 that do not have either 4 line program for Utica to Burnside Av.

4P3607 Posted October 29, 2011 #16 Posted October 29, 2011 5:50 & beyond = foaminess lol. I once got this: "This is a Bowling Green bound train, the next and last stop is Rector St". ^------------Thompson-------------^ ^--------------Jessica-----------^ I have a video of it, will upload it soon. EDIT:
Vistausss Posted October 30, 2011 Author #17 Posted October 30, 2011 Lol, foaminess indeed. And nice catch with that BG-bound -train! B) @Subwayguy: Thanks for the information
SubwayGuy Posted October 31, 2011 #18 Posted October 31, 2011 How come the has a program to Soith Ferry, but the doesn't. Because the has a program to Bowling Green via SF Loop. That's the only way to get a "2 to South Ferry" program. It's one of the programs used for one of those "split GOs" where a train goes to the Ferry Loop as a 2 and comes back uptown as a 5, or vice versa, which pop up every few years. Ever since new South Ferry opened you don't see those much anymore though since the loop station is now officially closed (and used for storage...it's a mess and not even fit for emergency service at this point anyway - there is stuff all over the platform there). In the case of the current recurring Dyre->South Ferry GO, they use the 241st to Chambers St. program and make manual announcements from Dyre to 180, and from Chambers to the Ferry. Ironically, there is a program for Dyre to South Ferry (via 7th Avenue no less!), but there's no way to use it and have the train display and announce .
