(5) running between Dyre and E180

(6)<6> suspended between Grand Central and Brooklyn Bridge

This is the quick one, for the few hours after

(4) trains:

Trains north of Grand Central run from Grand Central to Woodlawn, all trains stop at 138

Trains in the power cut zone stop in the next station if enough power is in, if trains ahead, go to back of train

Trains in Brooklyn run to Livonia Yard

 

(5) trains:

In the Bronx, half go out of service, the others run via (2).

In Manhattan from Grand Central to 149th, downtown trains turn at Grand Central, not stopping tho.

In Manhattan, trains that do not turn run to 125th or Grand Central (1/2 and 1/2)

EVENTUALLY:

 

The (4) is completely suspended, AT NIGHT trains in Livonia go back OOS via 7th Avenue and reverse at 149th, go to 138th, reverse and go to the yard.

The next morning (4) peeps, take the (B) or (D), all (B) runs run to the Bronx

Due to an over-usage of power in Brooklyn, the (2)(3)(4) and (5) trains east/south of Franklin Avenue cannot run at all due to all those tracks not having power. Also the switches from Franklin to Nevins are in straight.

 

 

(2)(3) terminate at Chambers

(4)(5) terminate at Bowling Green
