The tunnel between 191st Street and 181st Street on the (1) is weakened and the Manhattan Valley Viaduct on 125th Street is structurally compromised with snapped beams

West Farms Square on the (2) and (5) is structurally compromised with a shift from its foundation

The PATH tunnel is in a dire emergency of near collapse on the 6th Avenue line

Queensboro Plaza on the (7)(N) and (Q) is structurally compromised with snapped beams

The Manhattan Bridge has beams snapped

The Rockaway Flats bridges and tracks have been twisted and weakened

The Queens Boulevard Viaduct on the (7) is structurally compromised with snapped beams

Stillwell/Coney Island Terminal is structurally compromised with snapped beams and a foundation slip

Broadway Junction on the (L) platforms is structurally compromised with snapped beams and may collapse on the (J) and (Z) platforms

 

Solutions?

Are we assuming that Montague is still closed? if we assume it's open:

 

(A) Howard Beach/Lefferts to 207th. (H) shuttle service runs between Rockaway Park and Far Rockaway over the wye track.

(B) Suspended

(D) 2nd Avenue to Norwood, running on the C between West 4th and 59th.

(F) Runs on the E between West 4th and Queens. Terminates at Neptune Avenue on the southbound track, crossing back over just south of Avenue X

(J) Metropolitan Avenue to Bay 50th on the West End and Alabama to Jamaica Center.

(L) 8th Avenue to Myrtle and Atlantic Avenue to Canarsie. Temporary free transfer to Livonia El at Livonia Avenue

(M) Suspended, replaced by F and J

(N) 86th Street in Brooklyn to Forest Hills, via Montague Tunnel and QBL. Single track shuttle between 39th and Ditmars. Temporary free transfer between 36th St on the QBL and 39th Ave on Astoria.

(Q) Ocean Parkway-Forest Hills via Montague, 63rd, and QBL.

(R) Suspended north of 36th in Brooklyn

(S) BMT/IRT Unaffected

(S) Rockaway Suspended, see above

(Z) Suspended

(1) South Ferry-148th/Lenox and Dyckman-242nd

(2) No service between 3rd-149th and E180

(3) Suspended

(4) Extended to New Lots

(5) No service south of E180

(7) Times Square-Court Square and Woodside/61st-Flushing

 

If Montague is closed, run a shuttle on the West End line, the N doesn't run between Court and Whitehall, the J terminates at Broad, the Q terminates at Prospect Park, and a shuttle runs between 7th/57th and Forest Hills via 63rd Street.

 

In either case, all express service is suspended to ease travels for those going to/from a closed or hard to access station

Interesting, I'd expect some River tunnels to be lost in such an earthquake.

Let's try this. Due to political fighting over funding there has been a stipulation attached to the MTA's next round of funding. All unused middle/third tracks must be used consistently (including the Sea Beach Line) at least 12hrs a day. In addition the connection between the Broadway line and the 63rd st tunnel must be used.

I'll assume that "at least 12hrs a day" doesn't include weekends.

 

Also, this goes for when SAS is already in effect.

 

BMT Jamaica:

(Z) becomes reverse peak direction express. (To not destroy the skip stop service in the peak direction).

 

BMT Sea Beach:

After (W) is brought back in SAS, every other train runs the Sea Beach Express, possibly with an express stop at Kings Highway.

 

BMT West End:

After (W) is brought back in SAS, every other train peak direction runs the West End Express.

 

63rd Street to B'way:

Every other (R) train runs via 63rd Street instead of 60th Street.

 

IND Queens Blvd and IND Culver:

(F) Express train created, runs express on Hillside and IND Culver. Runs express on BMT Culver in reverse peak direction.

(Yes I know this would be difficult, I've seen the discussions.)

 

IRT 7th Avenue:

South Ferry Loop is now free because the Island Platform is fixed.

(9) uses five-car sets and runs from South Ferry Loop to 242nd Street, express north of 96th Street reverse-peak.

 

IRT Jerome Ave:

(4) Express runs express peak direction, similar to that pilot the (MTA) did a few years back.

 

IRT WPR/Dyre:

This is probably where the service is least needed.

Some (2)(5) trains (About 4 TPH) run express north of E180 on their respective line.

 

IRT (6) :

Umm, Some Local (6) trains sent as peak express to Pelham Bay Park? This line doesn't need that service either.

 

IND Liberty/Rockaways:

2TPH of (A) expresses run along the third track to Lefferts and along the express tracks past Howard Beach. This is literally just to pass the requirement and I don't expect this service to benefit many.

Oh, boy. This will cause some delays. Without Montague, we're kinda limited. But, there isn't much that hasn't been previously thought of. In a perfect world, the Sandy damage would be fixed, so I'll assume that everything is back open. Here we go:

 

  • Bring back the (9). South of 96th Street, it runs local. North of there, it runs on the center express track. Downtown in the morning, uptown in the afternoon and evening.
  • Extend the (J)(Z) to Stillwell, running local in Brooklyn. The (Z) runs peak direction express between Broadway Junction and Marcy and on the West End.
  • Have a new service (W) run from Stillwell to Ditmars via Sea Beach and the Manhattan Bridge. Basically, the (N) / NX, but runs express on Sea Beach, Broadway, and in Queens.
  • The (Q) uses the 63rd Street Tunnel to Queens, running QBL/Hillside express all the way to 179th Street
  • The (F) runs express on the Culver line (peak direction only between Church and Avenue X).
  • The (V) is brought back and uses its old route. Every other train is extended to Stillwell via Culver Local
  • Concourse express service is expanded
  • The (B) is extended to Ocean Parkway and runs in Brooklyn 24/7
  • The Rockaways (A) runs express on Liberty Avenue. Some trains run express north of Broad Channel. 1/3 of Lefferts (A) run express east of where the Rockaway Line branches off.
  • The <4> runs express in the Bronx
  • The <6> is express all the way to Pelham Bay Park and the (6) no longer ends at Parkchester
  • The (5) is full-time express south of E180. North of there, every third (2) and (5) runs express to Wakefield of Dyre, respectively.

You didn't mention the connecting tracks at Broadway Junction, so I assume they don't have to be used. But, if they must, run the (K) from Canarsie to 168th via 8th Avenue local, running on the Jamaica line btwn ENY and Essexl. I think that covers everything.

(A): No train service south of Broad Channel.

Shuttle Buses and Access-A-Ride provide service.

1. Shuttle Bus will make all (A) stops between Broad Channel and Far Rockaway.

2. Shuttle Bus will make all Rockaway Park Shuttle stop between Broad Channel and Rockaway Park.

3. Shuttle bus will make all Rockaway station stops between Rockaway Park and Far Rockaway. This trip will be marked as "H" during this time.

4. Able-A-Ride will provide disabled wheelchair service non-stop between Howard Beach and Far Rockaway.

(J)(Z): Express service, skip-stop and (Z) service suspend. (J) will terminate/originate at Marcy Av station during this time.

B39 will provide free boarding duing this time.

(S): Rockaway Park Shuttle suspended.

(7) Times Square-Court Square and Woodside/61st-Flushing

 

If Montague is closed, run a shuttle on the West End line, the N doesn't run between Court and Whitehall, the J terminates at Broad, the Q terminates at Prospect Park, and a shuttle runs between 7th/57th and Forest Hills via 63rd Street.

 

In either case, all express service is suspended to ease travels for those going to/from a closed or hard to access station

We'll keep Montague open, sorry I didn't mention it.

I have a scenario

A magnitude 9 earthquake has struck the city (rest of situation snipped)

 

 

(1) : Service split into two sections: one from South Ferry to 148th Street, and from Dyckman Street to 242nd Street.

(2) : Service split into two sections: one from Flatbush Avenue to Freeman Street, and from East 180th Street to Wakefield-241st Street.

(3) : Service Suspended to free up space at 148th Street for the  (1) train.

(4) : Service operates local east of Franklin Avenue to New Lots Avenue.

(5) Service operates as a shuttle from East 180 Street to Dyre Avenue.

(7) : Service Split into two sections: one from Times Square to Court Square and from Woodside-61st Street to Flushing-Main Street.

(A) : Rockaway-bound trains terminate at Howard Beach-JFK Airport. Service runs local north of 145th Street.  (H) shuttle trains run across Far Rockaway using Hammel's Wye.

(B) : Suspended.

(C) : Suspended.

(D), (F) : Combined service operates between Norwood-205 Street and Avenue X (terminating on the pocket track). Service will run local along 8th Avenue to West 4th Street, and then operating on the IND Culver line to Avenue X.

(E) : In order to provide extra capacity to Brooklyn, trains are extended through the Cranberry Street Tunnel, operating local to Euclid Avenue.

(J) : Service operates only between Jamaica Center and Alabama Street, terminating in the ENY yard. Shuttle Buses operate between Myrtle Avenue and Alabama Avenue.

(L) : Service split into two sections: one from 8th Avenue to Myrtle Avenue, and from Atlantic Avenue to Canarsie-Rockaway Parkway.

(Z) : Suspended.

 

 

We'll keep Montague open, sorry I didn't mention it.

(M) : Service operates between Metropolitan Avenue and Bay Parkway (need a brown "M" for this).

(N) : Service operates from 71st Street-Forest Hills, along Montague Street tunnel and runs local along 4th Avenue, terminating at 86th Street.

(Q) : Service is extended along the 63rd Street Connection, and terminates at 179th Street, operating the service pattern of the (F) train. Trains also terminate at Ocean Parkway.

(R) : No service north of 36th Street.

 

Shuttle buses will be operating:

  • Along 6th Avenue from West 4th Street to Central Park, Terminating at 5th Avenue-59th Street.
  • Along the Brooklyn Bridge from Canal Street (BMT Broadway Line) to Dekalb Avenue.
  • Between Freeman Street and East 180th Street.
  • Between Marcy Avenue, Atlantic Avenue and Alabama Avenue.
  • Along 31st Street between Ditmars blvd, Queens Plaza and Court Square.
  • Between Woodside-61st Street, Queens Plaza and Court Square.
  • Between 96th Street and Dyckman Street.
  • Between Howard Beach-JFK Airport and Beach-90th Street.

After the earthquake is over, there is a high risk that there may be fires in the system. Many of the routes, which are combinations of multiple routes, will have to be operated with whatever is available, meaning that there will be instances where some train models will operate to location where they are rarely seen. This will have the added benefit of providing a fire-suppression system in the parts of the system that are still running, as foamers flock to the subway entrances, putting out any fire before they can spread.

I have a scenario:

 

During a riot following a Rangers-Islanders game at Madison Square Garden, much debris was deposited by rioters on the tracks of the 7th and 8th Avenue subway stations at Penn Station, causing structural and electrical issues. Support beams and third rails at both stations have been severed, preventing trains on both lines from passing through.

 

While this shouldn't matter, assume that all Sandy damage has been fixed.

Support beams and third rails at both stations have been severed, preventing trains on both lines from passing through.

 

While this shouldn't matter, assume that all Sandy damage has been fixed.

Here goes, and I'm assuming this is going to be a long-term fix (at least two weeks) as the damage was quite extensive:

 

Shuttle buses run in a continuous loop from 14th Street-7th Avenue to 42nd Street-7th Avenue, via 8th Avenue uptown and and 7th Avenue downtown (stopping in both directions on streets of 7th Avenue stops).  Additional shuttle buses operate between 14th Street-7th Avenue and 72nd Street-Broadway.

 

There is no express service on the CPW line during this stoppage.

 

(1) and (3) run from their northern terminals to Times Square-42nd Street (all downtown trains run local 96th Street-72nd Street and express 72nd-42nd Street with a special OOS transfer to the CPW line at 72nd Street) as this assumes the transfer tracks are not affected enough to allow trains to change directions south of Times Square.

 

(1) also runs South Ferry-18th Street, where it terminates.

 

(2) runs via the Lexington Avenue line to Flatbush Avenue at ALL TIMES.

 

(3) also runs 14th Street-7th Avenue to New Lots Avenue at ALL TIMES

 

(4) is truncated to Atlantic Avenue late nights since the (3) is running 24/7 in Brooklyn.

 

(5) runs via the 7th Avenue line from Dyre Avenue-96th Street at ALL TIMES.

 

(A) runs local on CPW, via the (D) to 34th Street and via the (F) to West 4th Street before, then local to Chambers Street before resuming normal route.

 

Single track shuttles operate between Columbus Circle and 42nd Street on the downtown express tracks.

 

(B) runs West 4th Street-Brighton Beach ONLY (using the express tracks at West 4th to terminate).

 

(C) runs 14th Street-Euclid Avenue ONLY (NOTE: 23rd Street station is CLOSED because the (C) must use the express tracks at 14th Street since only the pocket track south of 34th Street station can be used to have trains change directions as that area was unaffected by the rioting).  For Spring Street, take the (A), which is making that stop.

 

(D) runs local on CPW (and in The Bronx in both directions rush hours) and expect delays due to the (B) terminating at West 4th.

 

(E) runs via 60th Street and via the Broadway line to Whitehall Street (local).  Special OOS transfer between 63rd Street (F) and 59th Street Broadway/Lexington Avenue line stations is available (ask for special OOS transfer when leaving either 59th or 63rd street so you don't use your regular MetroCard transfer).

 

(M) runs to 71st-Continental at ALL TIMES during this service interruption (no late night-weekend shuttle since the line is running the full route).  If necessary, (M) is extended to Jamaica Center or 179th Street.

 

(R) runs via 63rd street between 36th Street in Queens and 57th Street-7th Avenue in Manhattan.  If necessary, (R) is extended to Jamaica Center or 179th Street.

 

 

Next:

Water main break near Penn Station knocks out service at 34th Street on the Broadway, 6th Avenue and 7th Avenue lines.  Do note the 8th Avenue line is unaffected and that the 42nd Street stations are NOT affected by this.

While this shouldn't matter, assume that all Sandy damage has been fixed.

(1) No service south of 137th St Manhattan. Stations on CPW, 6 Av (Midtown), and 8 Av, Broadway and Lex Av Lines (Downtown) provide alternate service.

(2) Two sections: Wakefield-241st St and Time Square. Chambers St and Flatbush Av.

(3) Two sections: Harlem 148th St and Time Square. Chambers St and New Lots Av.

(A) Runs via 6 Av local from 59th St to W4 St.

(C) Two sections: 168th St to 59th St. (Trains turn on northbound express track using switches north of station. All northbound service will be on local track) Chambers St to Euclid Ave.

(E) No service south of Lexington Av.

(M) Runs via (F) to 36th St Queens.

Free shuttle bus service provided where necessary.

Expect delays on all affected lines including (B)(D)(F) and (R) trains.

Dayum! What were they rioting with to take out support beams, RPGs and zooks? Good thing there is no upper deck or SAMs woulda come into play. Them's some rowdy mofos.

 

(1) btn 242 & 42nd St. Runs Exp SB from 72nd to 42nd St. Local NB. For 66th, 59th & 50th St. stations, change at 42nd St. for NB local. Shuttle bus service btn South Ferry & 42nd St.

(2) via Lex Ave.

(3) btn 148th St & 96th St. All service at 96th St. from the NB plat.

(4) to New Lots Ave. Local btn Franklin & Utica Aves.

(A) via 6th Ave. Local btn 168th & 59th Sts.

(C) btn Euclid Ave and 14th St. Skips Spring St in both directions.

No service at 42nd St & 50th Sts.

(E) btn Jamaica Center & Lexington Ave.

(M) via 63rd St tunnel.

 

One question: how would the SB trains N/O 34th St. and the NB trains S/O 34th St. at the time of the incident be removed? Hopefully it was a night game that went into OT with a hella long shootout so that s#it didn't start poppin til around 11ish.

All at once...

A train derails at 14th St making all of the 8th Ave Line unusable there, while simultaneously, Rutgers is flooding, and there's a stalled train switching between the manhattan bridge northbound tracks. (This means only the Dekalb local track can be used, and ONLY to 6th Ave)

Go :)

The entire Fulton Transportation Center is dealing with a water main break that has shut down the entire complex (except for the (1) and the 8th Avenue line at Chambers Street-WTC).   This will knock out the complex entirely for at least a week.

 

Also, a suspicious package at the same time has forced all service to be suspended at Herald Square and a separate water main break has knocked out the 6th & 7th Avenue and Broadway lines (and the (7) ) at Times Square, the latter of which will also knock that out for at least a week.

 

Reroute away!

The ideal situation is to have the it would be best if all the trains in the outer boroughs ran to a central location like Atlantic Barclays (Or to court) in that case to stop delays and have shuttles between there and Manhattan
