official Subway - What If?

[Metro CSW]

There's no need to suspend the E. Just run them down 6th av, switch at W4th and end as normal to WTC and probably suspend the M at Essex.

Metro: does the switch affect just the E? Ie: can either A and/or C trains pass thru normally?

I was going for the middle track from the lower triggering some kind of chain reaction of all three components on that set alone, actually. It would only be temporary,  a whole day. I think I agree with Quill's arrangement.

Then I rise up from the Ashes and rule the MTA with an iron fist....

 

becomes full length

Fish the R38s out the water, clean them and run them on the

Everything runs on 5 minute headways at all times

The R32s get the boor and get replaced by more R143s...we bully Kawasaki to build more

 

...sorry, I couldn't help it lol

And bring back The older RTS's, Orion V's and return MTA LIBus!

What am i doing???? Im being like all of you! I just came back from a break of trains and its been 13 Months since  last posted! But if you dont want me here fine. Ill tend to my own threads..

 

I'm sorry, but your posting What If's that are not really par. I'd suggest putting more time into making them. I suggest you use the NYC Subway Track Maps:

[Metro CSW]

Or use the Full system map, Lance gave us the link to, awhile ago.

 

Just thought it would be easier.

Then there is less service to Jamaica. Jamaica riders take the to the , instead of the .

Lot more people takes the E, you can't just sign them up as extra Fs either. If people need the M, they can take the F to Delancy-Essex like they always did. Plus anytime there's something really wrong, the M on 6th av is usually among the first to get suspended.

I wanted to do one so let me try:

Due to a Major Occupy Wall St. protest with countless thousands blocking ways to enter/exit the subway/buses and its uncontrollable, all trains/buses under Chambers Street are rerouted......Who can reroute this?

Last Stops:

  - Chambers Street

  - Canal Street

  - Canal Street

  - Canal Street

  - 14 Street (Brooklyn Bridge Station is blocked)

Remember all tracks after these stops are not passable

Combo of the and .  I clearly noted that the would borrow cars from the as needed for this (assuming the was all-R32s as I also noted at the beginning).  Easier to suspend the and have the replace it (though that also could be done the other way with the replacing the to Jamaica Center).

 

I also use both the and with the in this, very similar to the post-9/11 setup (with the obvious except of the and continuing to Brooklyn as the would be split).

Good luck with to 168th, my friend.
