Downtown trains run express from 145 to Canal Sts. Uptown trains stop at the express track at 42 and 47/50 Sts. to Broad St. PS Here's the unusable tracks, highlighted in black: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallyhorse Posted July 28, 2012 Share #1569 Posted July 28, 2012 Some ridiculous layup, and even then I only think they can reach Clinton-Washington... That's why in parentheses I noted that some service begins and ends at Clinton-Washington or Utica Avenue, realizing not all service could do the turnaraounds at Lafayette (though they should re-do the tracks there so trains when running express can stop at Lafayette Avenue in both directions during events at the Barclays Center (which is reasonably close to that station), but that's another story). That was mainly done so at least half of the trains serve Franklin Avenue in such an emergency. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread is about fictional scenarios and how people would solve them.I don't have to listen to anything you say, you are no damn moderator! I'm moving on....Dude, you should listen to what people say...There's no rule against telling people not to post things that don't fit in the thread. Just because it doesn't come from a mod doesn't mean it isn't valid.I'm 15 and I don't need an 11 year old telling me want to do.You most certainly do, if he's right and you're wrong. No need to get so upset at him; he wasn't disrespecting you.My mistake...I'll create a thread about disruptions then, about that...There already is a thread for that:http://www.nyctransitforums.com/forums/topic/34484-unplanned-subway-service-changes-discussion/page__st__220 I was just sayin......wasn't tryin' to be mean to anybody, or to act like I'm a mod.....,.but I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. You weren't mean, and you didn't do ANYTHING wrong. RollOverMyHead didn't read the thread before he posted, so it's not your fault for telling him what not to post. He needs to calm down and stop taking this personally. Anyway, back to the thread... That's why in parentheses I noted that some service begins and ends at Clinton-Washington or Utica Avenue, realizing not all service could do the turnaraounds at Lafayette (though they should re-do the tracks there so trains when running express can stop at Lafayette Avenue in both directions during events at the Barclays Center (which is reasonably close to that station), but that's another story).
