Subway - What If?


VWM

Recommended Posts

Track fires in the 63rd St Tunnel and the 53rd St tunnel has led to the closure of both. 63rd/Lex is operational. Court Sq and Lex/53rd are closed.

 

(A) 8th Avenue Local.

(E) Jamaica Center to Whitehall Street via Broadway Local.

(F) 96th Street to Coney Island.

(F) Jamaica-179th Street to Coney Island via Queens Blvd Local and Crosstown.

(G) Service unaffected if Crosstown Court Square is open.

(M) Metropolitan Avenue to Chambers Street or Essex Street.

(R) Jamaica-179th Street to Bay Ridge.

(W) Astoria-Ditmars Blvd to Canal Street.

Oh. I feel so dumb... XD

 

There are center tracks at some of the (G) stations that are currently disused. I believe you could snake the (E) through that section.

Out of curiosity, when the (G) operated via Queens Boulevard, what was the (V) doing other than 6th Avenue?

1.Impossible because the only places to have (space for) more than two tracks are Classon Av and east of and including Bedford-Nostrand. Both are far from being any use at the moment (besides layovers and short turns at Bedford-Nostrand), let alone be any use to the (E).

2. The (V) was asleep when/if the (G) ran on QBL.

Here goes (assuming 60th Street is unaffected and assuming the other (non-53rd Street) stations at Court Square are unaffected):

 

(E) runs via the Broadway Line after Queens Plaza to Whitehall Street (Select (E) trains terminate at Queens Plaza southbound).

 

Alternating (F) trains run from Coney Island as follows:

Via regular route to 63rd-Lex and the (Q) to 96th Street-2nd Avenue, where it terminates.

Via the Crosstown between Bergen Street and Roosevelt Boulevard, normal route after that.

 

(G) and (R) are both extended to 179th Street to help with traffic flow along the Queens Boulevard Line ( (G) replaces the (M) in Queens) and to accommodate for lost (F) service on Queens Boulevard.

 

(M) runs to 96th Street-2nd Avenue.

 

(N) runs with delays due to the (E) operating on Broadway.

 

(W) is suspended due to the (E) having to use the Broadway Line.

A very high operator has derailed his (N) train at Atlantic-Barclays, making it impassable for the (D)(N) and (R) in both directions. What would you do?

 

My take:

(D): Runs in two sections: Coney Island to 36th Street or 9th Avenue (to avoid too many trains at 36th), Herald Square to 205th Street

(B): provides alternate service to Manhattan and Bronx, select trains run to Coney Island

(N): Runs in one section: Coney Island to 36th Street

(R): Runs in two sections: 95th Street to 36th Street, Whitehall Street to 71st Avenue

(W):provides alternate service in Queens, service increased, select trains run via Brighton Local to Coney Island

Kinda undoable with only one track to turn back trains. Combined TPH is going down to 10.

You can if needed turn back some (D) trains at 9th Avenue and/or Bay Parkway if necessary if you don't have enough capacity at 36th.  Also, you can have (D) trains cross over and come in on the southbound track at 36th Street to increase capacity, plus have trains go north of the station to turn as well.  So if you do it rapidly, you can pull it off.

 

This was mine on this:

 

 

(D) and  (N) begin and end at 36th Street in Brooklyn and run via regular routes to/from and through Coney Island, then running as follows:

 

(D) runs via the Culver Line between Coney Island and Broadway-Lafayette, then via regular route.

 

(N) runs via Brighton Express to Atlantic-Barclays and stops at DeKalb Avenue before resuming regular route to Astoria.

 

(R) runs in two sections: 

71st-Continental to Jay Street-Metrotech

Shuttle between 36th or 59th Street and 95th Street-Bay Ridge

 

Shuttle buses run between Jay Street-Metrotech and 59th Street in Brooklyn.

 

Adjusting it as noted:

 

(D) runs via Culver between Broadway-Lafayette and Coney Island, then through Coney Island via regular route to 36th Street (some trains terminate at 9th Avenue or Bay Parkway).

 

(N) runs via Brighton between Canal Street (stopping at DeKalb Avenue) and Coney Island, then through Coney Island via regular route to 36th Street (some trains end and begin at Kings Highway).

 

(R) still runs in two sections:

71st-Continental to Jay Street-Metrotech

36th or 59th Street to 95th Street-Bay Ridge

Some mean person at 77th St pushes vegan children and her mother into local platform.

In addition, there is stalled train on express track below.

Assuming there is just one stalled train on one of the express tracks....

(5) Northbound Normal & Southbound via the (2) Line from Grand Concourse to Borough Hall

Several women are blocking the train tracks at 34 St, making the (1)(2)(3)(A)(C)(E) impassable. What do you do?
