Due to emergency Manhattan bridge repairs, only the Manhattan-bound side of the North Side of the Manhattan Bridge ( (B) and (D)) is open. Additionally because of scheduled Sandy repairs, the Rutgers Tubes are closed. This is a weekday.

 

How can you provide adequate service?

A single-track shuttle runs between Broadway-Lafayette and Grand Street (Manhattan Bridge is only used in an emergency)

 

(A) runs local north of 145th Street at all times

 

(B) is suspended

 

(C) runs at all times and replaces the (D) between 145th and 205th Street.

 

(D) runs via the (R) and then (Q) between Atlantic Avenue-Barclays and 96th Street-2nd Avenue, where it terminates.

 

(F) runs as follows (one-quarter of the trains run each route):

Some (F) trains run via the 8th Avenue line between Jay Street-Metrotech and 50th Street and then via the (E) from there to Roosevelt Boulevard

Some (F) trains run via the 8th Avenue line between Jay Street-Metrotech and West 4th before resuming normal route.

Some (F) trains run via the Crosstown between Roosevelt Avenue and Bergen Street

Some (F) trains run via normal route to Delancey Street (with LIMITED service to East Broadway), where such terminate

 

(M) runs at all times between Metropolitan Avenue and 71st-Continental.  Some (M) trains run via 63rd Street between 47-50 and 36th Street.

 

(N)(Q) and (R) all run via the tunnel.  If necessary, a limited number of (Q) trains will run non-stop on the Nassau line between Court Street and Broadway-Lafayette on the 6th Avenue Line in both directions, using Essex Street and the Williamsburg Bridge to change directions (with if possible, the front half the train stopping at Essex to discharge passengers before going to the bridge to do the change and what becomes the front half after the direction change stopping to do the same afterwards). Such trains then run via the (F) to 63rd Street-Lexington Avenue, where they resume normal operations).

 

(W) is suspended due to the (D) running via Broadway/SAS.

Yes.  This is NOT 1985 when you can get away with service during Hurricane Gloria like you did then.  The risk of lawsuits and so forth is too great.

 

Next:

 

A transformer explosion in Brooklyn has knocked out the Montague, Joralemon and Clark Street tunnels though the Cranberry and Rutgers Street tunnels are not affected (as well as none of their respective stations) by this nor is the Manhattan Bridge or the stations on the Manhattan side of said tunnels or the tracks immediately after said tunnels are not affected and can be used to turn trains.

 

Stations affected in Brooklyn:

Clark Street on the Broadway-7th Avenue Line and Court Street-Borough Hall on that and the Broadway and Lexington Avenue Lines (stations east of there are NOT affected, including Jay-Metrotech).

Whitehall St gets flooded and is heavily damaged. Montague is impassible, except if the train goes to Nassau. 

 

What would you do?

LMAO. Water always flows down. Guess where the Whitehall Street station empties into? That line is closed from Whitehall Street all the way to Court Street. Canal Street is the terminus for local trains operating in Manhattan unless they’re squeezing into the Manhattan Bridge to serve Brooklyn.

 

(W) is suspended. The (R) runs in two sections: Forest Hills/Chinatown and MetroTech/Bay Ridge. Passengers are advised to use the (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (A), (C), (E), (J), and (Z) for stops close to City Hall, Cortlandt Street, Rector Street, and South Ferry–Whitehall Street. Use the (2), (3), (4), (5), (A), (B), (C), (D), (F), (N), and (Q) to connect to the (R) in Brooklyn.

 

Next:

In an attempt to bomb the Lexington Avenue/63 Street station, the amateur terrorist detonates his explosive backpack in an open space on the lower-level platform. The explosion fails to damage anything, but makes a loud noise and fills the lower level with smoke (which rises and eventually fills the upper level and the mezzanine as well). Trains are restricted from passing through Lexington Avenue/63 Street during this weekday PM rush. Reroute.

A transformer explosion throws lower Manhattan into chaos everything south of Canal Street on all lines in Manhattan can't be used due to lack of power EXCEPT a very small slither of extreme lower Manhattan that allows Bowling Green and Whitehall to remain in service (and SF so trains can use the loop to turn).  This is expected to take at least two days to fix.
