Fresh Pond Posted October 27, 2012 Share #2951 Posted October 27, 2012 Single-track shuttles run as follows: Broad Street to Canal Street Canal Street to Essex Street Regular trains run via the to West 4th and then to 168th Street, using extra equipment (R32s) from and replacing the in upper Manhattan for the duration of this. runs Chambers Street ( platform)-Euclid Avenue ONLY. For Spring Street from upper Manhattan, take to West 4th and change for the and the reverse from Spring Street. You're just making a simple problem worse...why involve the in it? ...why am I even asking in the first place 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is insufficient terminal capacity for the to terminate at Flatbush, how are the supposed to terminate there? How in the world would the 2/3 reverse on a pair of tracks that has 30tph in each direction?
