TrainFanInfinity Posted August 31, 2012 Share #2301 Posted August 31, 2012 Next: Switches between Canal and Chambers on the 8th Avenue line make it where ALL trains using the tracks to/from the Cranberry Street Tunnel must go through the layup track between those two stations in both directions to reach the other station (The switches to/from Chambers are NOT affected by this) At the same time, a switch at Essex-Delancey on the Nassau Line is stuck to where all trains from the Willamsburg Bridge must go through the 6th Avenue line from there with no access to the rest of the Nassau Street line going downtown.. The center track at Essex can't be used from the Willy B either. Via Rutgers Street. Runs in two sections: Between 168 Street & World Trade Center platform. Between Chambers Street platform & Brooklyn. No service b/w Manhattan & Marcy Avenue. Some trains terminate at Broadway Junction, Cresent Street or Cypress Hills. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect delays... : Any trains in Brooklyn travel via the line, any trains in Manhattan travel via the line, any trains b/w W. 4th Street and Jay Street use solution. NO, I AM NOT SENDING THE TO 168th STREET. / : Terminate at Hewes Street, layup on center track at Marcy Avenue. : Normal service, extended to late nights.

Quill Depot Posted August 31, 2012 Share #2304 Posted August 31, 2012 NEXT: There is a switch problem on the 7th Avenue Line where all uptown and downtown express trains are routed via the layover track between TSQ and 34th Street-Penn. One downtown train cannot run with one uptown train. Avoid a head-on collision and don't go over 30 tph. The has around 7-8 TPH and the has around 13-15. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted September 1, 2012 Share #2313 Posted September 1, 2012 The switch at essex streets are malfunctioning and sending and trains up to 6th ave what do you do? There's actually a way around this without cutting service... Have all Manhattan-bound (J)/(Z) trains enter on the center track and continue them from there. At the same time, have all Queens-bound (J)/(Z) trains enter on the same track as the does. There's gonna be some delays but it's possible. Next one... A train derails in homeball alley (between 135 & 145 if you don't know where at) rendering that whole area impassible. What do you do? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A train derails in homeball alley (between 135 & 145 if you don't know where at) rendering that whole area impassible. What do you do?

TrainFanInfinity Posted September 1, 2012 Share #2316 Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Sorry, I just get the kick for correcting people. NASSAU ST. I thought it might ve been called Nassau Street..... If it were just the Local tracks northbound, I would just send the on the Express, and let the continue to run on the Bypass. It would probably block the Concourse entrance....most likely, at least. Edited September 1, 2012 by TrainFanInfinity 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Express Posted September 1, 2012 Share #2317 Posted September 1, 2012 It would probably block the Concourse entrance....most likely, at least. Probably. Beacuse right after 135 St, you would have the on the Bypass trying to get to their respective routes. But it should not be that much of a problem, except for the stopping on the Express at 145 St, but it can switch over right after the station. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
