This isn't very realistic, since a power outage at 36 St, Queens should not affect switches in Brooklyn. Also, how come 4 Av local trains can only run via 6 Av Local, while B and D trains can continue via 6 Av Exp (that's only one inconsistency, there are others)? Despite that: Trains run express south of 59 St. Unaffected Unaffected Trains run via 8 Av in both directions between 5 Av/53 St and W 4 St. Trains run via bridge, 6 Av, and 63 St. NEXT Because of a fire in a control tower, no switches can be moved along the Broadway Line between Queens/Queensboro Plaza and Atlantic Av, inclusive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason why I didn't make it an was because it makes quite a few stops. And also, I think it would make it easier to distinguish which train was going where with two different designations.
