Subway - What If?

Since no one has posted on this for over a month...

 

Derailment on the northbound (N) train while it was leaving Atlantic Avenue. The switches changed at the last minute, and the train derailed instantly. 

 

Reroute away.

 

Depends on how bad the switch is...

 

(D) Norwood to 2nd Avenue, 36th Street to Coney Island

(N) Astoria to Whitehall, 36 Street to Coney Island

(R) Forest Hills to Prospect Park, 59th Street to Bay Ridge

 

Shuttle Buses operate as follows:

 

Jay Street-Metrotech to 36th Street via Jay Street, Livingston Street, Flatbush Avenue, 4th Avenue.

 

(Before I get shot down, I extended the (R) to Prospect so people can get a transfer to the (F) at Jay St for (D) service, and there could still be somewhat of a transfer from Atlantic Avenue to the (R), then the (D) and (N).)

Was it an R160 or R68/A

 

Why would that matter...

Just curious, Anyway (N) I think the create (N) shuttle service between 59 St in Brooklyn and coney island and have trains terminate at whitehall st (on the express track)

 

(D) I agree with you (except have trains run local)

 

(R) Short turn some trains at whitehall Street to provide decent service to queens, shuttle service between 59 St and 95 st

Signal Problems at 36 Street on the QBL and at 71st Avenue as well as Roosevelt

 

36 Street:

 

Local track to Manhattan has to enter the express track Street because of a signal malfunction. Express track from 63 Street cut is also set to the local.

 

71 Avenue: The Jamaica-bound local track is set to the layup track only, and can't be changed.

 

Roosevelt Avenue : All switches at that station don't work.

 

 

Reroute away.
