I honestly don't see the problem. They can terminate at Franklin just fine.

 

As for the , short turn them at Sterling St and Beverly Rd.

Next: Due to long-term construction the CPW express tracks are not usable. (This applies from 125th St, to just after the first local/express switch north of 59th)

At the same time, due to budget costs, the southbound local track is disconnected, from Canal Street, to just after the 8th Ave/6th Ave connecter @West 4th.

Make a LONG-TERM plan for the above.

 

And while the above is occurring, work is being done at 14th St, and 34th St, so the southbound local track is not usable at those stops ONLY.

Southbound trains must also bypass 14th, and 34th Sts.

 

Make a SHORT-TERM plan for the above.

I got one that's non-fiction!

 

Due to a landfalling hurricane, all the underriver tubes to Brooklyn (14st/Rutgers/Cranberry/Montague/Clark/Joralemon) are flooded. Trains have been stored on all the express tracks around the system. Brighton line between Prospect Park and Atlantic have been used for layups.

 

Have fun

Mind you, Clark tube is also flooded.

And the Express tracks at 14 St are probably taken up.

The below Chambers might also be underwater in the area of Cortlant.

Looks like we may have to wait until Friday to do some semblance of how much re-routing and other things will be done for real thanks to this storm.

[Caelestor]

Not certain when the East River tunnels will be back, but here goes.

 

: turns at Chambers St instead of South Ferry.

/ : runs in two sections. Manhattan/Bronx: Wakefield/148th St - 34th St. Brooklyn: Atlantic Ave/Nevins St - New Lots Ave/Flatbush Ave.

: Express service suspended, no service between Queensboro Plaza and Times Square.

Times Square : Runs overnight.

Let's hope nothing bad happens at DeKalb Ave, because if service is suspended there, no one is getting from Brooklyn into Manhattan.

This is very stupid. So you can't just short turn the at Kings Highway and provide shuttle buses between DeKalb Avenue and Kings Highway on the Brighton Line? And why should the Franklin Avenue Shuttle run as a single train on one directional track? You know how much crowding and delays that will cause? And as for the running as shorter trains, that's just a no-no...

Better that than what happened when the got knocked out by the fire at DeKalb. The was overwhelmed that time by people who had the take the / / / to Franklin Avenue-Botanic Garden and switch to the there.

 

In that scenario, the would be a 300' train because I believe that is all that can fit onto the platform at Botanic Garden on the .

[Eric B]

They probably should extend that side of the station. It used to be 8 cars like the rest of the BMT, and I'm not sure if it could go 10 cars, as it then reaches the overpass to the next street. It might be very narrow.

I've suggested that for complete Manhattan Bridge shutdowns. It would be nicer to use the new connection to the IND instead, though, but there is space to extend Franklin also (It would extend all the way across Atlantic).
