NYCRailfan523 Posted January 24, 2013 Share #3303 Posted January 24, 2013 A fire on the tracks of Queensboro Plaza station (both and ) is disrupting services to all directions. What would you do in this situation? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzxeternal Posted January 24, 2013 Share #3304 Posted January 24, 2013 - Suspended - Normal service - Extended to Jamaica Center --- A terrorist attack has destroyed the Times Square station, making it impassable for trains. How would you reroute the ? This would be one hell of a catastrophe to rival 9/11 if not exceed it. In such a situation, extraordinary measures would have to be taken. from 237th Street to 49th Street from 34th-Penn to South Ferry Service from Main Street to Grand Central. No Express service, see (8) (8) Since this is an emergency, i'm getting creative and turning the LIRR Port Washington Branch into a Subway line. Tracks 20-21 at Penn Station converted to emergency subway use. Free Metrocard transfers at Woodside, Flushing (for local 7), Penn Station. Astoria-57th Street - Free Metrocard transfer at Queensboro Plaza for Queens Plaza service 95th Street Brooklyn - 34th Street Herald Square via Broadway rerouted to 6th Avenue, runs local to 71st Continental to replace R service and E local night hours. Since it wasn't mentioned that the or stations were damaged, i would make the following changes Service runs 24 hours Increase Frequency of Service Run local between 168 St and World Trade all times (Increase service) Run Express in Queens after 71-Continental all times, switch to F line after W4 St, last stop Church Avenue. Service Terminates at Hoyt-Schermehorn in Brooklyn, Extended to 71st Continental in Queens. Finally above ground, I would remove all of Bloomberg's sidewalk sitting areas, making Broadway a bus only street with free shuttle buses running from 33rd Street -57th Street in both directions. No Thru traffic would be allowed within the route area from 6AM-9PM, and HOV 3+ restrictions would be in place for all of Manhattan south of 96th Street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendell Posted February 2, 2013 Share #3309 Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Wait change my idea to this. Due to an earth quake , an train has derailed at Bedford ave 5 cars only , south ferry,rector st, and Chambers st has collapsed , Franklin ave has collapsed including tracks , and 2 trackways have fell on the train tracks from the train track at QueensBoro plaza. What is the reroute? Edited February 2, 2013 by Kendell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted February 2, 2013 Share #3310 Posted February 2, 2013 Lemmie take a crack at this for once: To 14th Street via express. and runs local. extended to 57th Street via 6th Ave. to Lorimar Street only. Suplemtal Bus service to Bedford Ave. train rerouted via 63rd Street to QBL, probably terminating at 71st-forest hills or 179th Street. Bus shuttle service to replace service to Queens Plaza or Court sq which would be the better option as it worked for the closures during the 53rd St GO's (if the structure collapsed then the switches past QBP and before 39th cannot be used for at least Astoria Line train shuttle service. Besides i would imagine the line would be swamped with track workers with equipment desperately trying to fix the problem) train from 71st-Roosevelt to Main street with supplementary special bus service to QB. (same reason, not enough distance to wrongrail from 33rd if the structure's ROW is obstructed preventing the deadheading from the switches there) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realizm Posted February 2, 2013 Share #3313 Posted February 2, 2013 What about the And at Franklin? Oh didn't see that. then Flatbush is screwed. All Brooklyn IRT trains will have to terminate at Alantic Ave and bus shutle, bus shuttle, bus shuttle service to Flatbush Ave, Brooklyn College. shuttle to New Lots from Utica if possible, depends if they had trains on relay at the time. I think if it was earthquake, all subways properly would shut down just like storm relatived. True. very good point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get the joke NEXT: A downtown train has derailed at Chambers Street, knocking out the uptown express, and both downtown tracks. Also, the crossovers between the downtown express and uptown express north of the station cannot be used. These ones: runs between 14 St and 242 St. (use shuttle buses or M20 service south of 14 Street) runs on Lexington Avenue. runs late night mode. (replaced by in Brooklyn. of course) A crack in the water main line causes disruption to 66th St. - Lincoln Center station. What should you do? : shuttle buses runs between Times Square & 96 St. (or use M7/M104) (depending on the severity) via Lexington Avenue. runs between New Lots Avenue & Times Square. (shuttle buses or use M7) Expect delays on all. Edited February 3, 2013 by Metro CSW 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
