New problem:

 

This is post 2019, meaning that the and have been built fully.

 

There are junction problems at Lexingition Ave 63 St forcing the trains to go via the .

 

Also, there are major problems in downtown Manhattan as follows:

 

Due to police investigation at 33rd St all the way down to 14 St, trains are forced to terminate at Grand Central.

 

Due to debris falling onto the track, there is no service between Times Square 42 St and Chambers Street.

 

Due to a medical emergency at 34 Street Hudson Yardsand a stalled train at Grand Central trains terminate at Queensboro Plaza.

 

There are 2 stalled trains in the shuttle as there is no power to the shuttle.

 

Due to power problems, the following changes are in affect:

There is no service between 168 St And 242 St. There is no service between 242 St and E.180 St. There is no service between Woodlawn and Burnside Ave. There is no service.

Since no one else bit (I'm taking some liberties on this):

Do note that in 2019, only Phase 1 will be running, so there is no .

is re-routed to the after 47th-50th Street and runs at all times to 96th Street/2nd Avenue (all times, including weekends and overnights)
is re-routed to the after 57th Street to 71st-Continental to replace the in Queens (except overnights when it runs to 57th/7th).

As for the Bronx/Upper Manhattan power problems north of 180th Street and the other IRT issues:

runs in two sections:

181St Street-96th Street (there is enough power for the to go to 181)
(Note: Terminates on Southbound express track and runs express northbound between 96th and 137th Street, skipping those stations in that direction).

As a shuttle between Chambers Street and South Ferry.

Single track shuttle operates on the southbound local track between 96th Street and Times Square in both directions.

runs Chambers Street-Flatbush Avenue ONLY!!

runs 148th Street-72nd Street ONLY!!
(Note: Southbound runs express on uptown express track between 96th and 72nd Street, northbound runs on uptown local track, stopping at 79th and 86th Street)

runs in two sections:
Burnside Avenue-Grand Central
Brooklyn Bridge (uptown express track)-New Lots Avenue to replace the in Brooklyn

runs to/from 59th Street ONLY!!

Single track shuttles operate on both local tracks between Brooklyn Bridge and 14th Street.

runs between Hunterspoint Avenue and Main Street ONLY with LIMITED service to/from Vernon-Jackson Avenues.


NEXT:

Returning to the present day, a water main break at 61st and Lexington is playing major havoc with ALL of the subway lines in the vicinity, knocking out the Lexington Avenue line and lines coming from and going to the 60th and 63rd Street tunnels.  Simultaneously, broken rails between the 50th Street (lower level) and 53rd/7th Avenue stations on the 8th Avenue line has made it impossible for trains to access the 53rd Street tunnel to Queens from there.

Why was the even eliminated?

[FamousNYLover]

Why was the even eliminated?

It was eliminating b/c it hold up regular subway service and fare was higher than regular local/express service.

Select trains run via the between Queens Plaza and Bergen Street.
