What if an Volcano had erupted let's say in 125th Street (I KNOW IT IS BEYOND IMPOSSIBLE)

Scenario: Earthquake in Harlem (on the Harlem Fault Line). All stations along 125 St are closed, along with 110 St 2/3, 110 St 6, and as a precaution, The Astoria Line N/W. Also as a precaution, MNR cannot run in Manhattan, and the 63 St Tunnels are closed.

Reroute: 1/2/3/A/B/C/D/4/5/6/N/W/F, MNR, and Amtrak (Empire Corridor).

Here we go:

runs in two sections:
South Ferry to 96th Street
145th Street-242nd Street (137th is used for turning trains)

runs in two sections:
Flatbush Avenue to 96th Street (local from 14th to 96th)
149th Street in the Bronx-241st Street

runs New Lots Avenue-42nd Street ONLY.

runs in two sections:
Utica Avenue (New Lots overnights)- 86th Street (local in Manhattan)
149th Street-Woodlawn

runs as a shuttle between Dyre Avenue and East 180th Street ONLY

 runs between 3rd Avenue-138th Street and Pehlam Bay Park ONLY
LIMITED service between Brooklyn Bridge and 86th Street (some trains terminate at 59th Street)

runs in two sections:
Far Rockway or Lefferts Boulevard to 59th Street
145th Street (Upper Level)-207th Street

 and are suspended

runs in two sections:  
Coney Island-59th Street-Columbus Circle
145th Street (Lower Level)-205th Street

is a four-way split:
Some trains run 21st-Queensbridge to 179th Street
Some trains run regular route in Queens and Brooklyn BUT via the between Roosevelt Avenue and Bergen Street
Some trains run regular route BUT via the between Roosevelt Avenue and 53rd Street-5th Avenue before resuming regular route at 47-50th-6th Avenue.
Some trains run 57th Street-Coney Island

Some trains run with the  to 96th Street-2nd Avenue
All other trains terminate at Queensboro Plaza

All trains run regular route to Queensboro Plaza.

Same as my prior post above.

I understand that we want to be creative and whatnot, but can we somewhat reasonable scenarios? In most of these recent scenarios, the solutions would be for most, if not the entire system being shut down.

AM Rush 7:15 AM

A bomb threat at Jackson Heights/74 Street requires immediate evacuation of the area. No trains are allowed to pass through this stop.

Meanwhile, a water mainbrake at Grand Street has the Chrystie St connection backed up

There are unauthorized people on all tracks of the Manhattan Bridge because they mad about something so there a crowd of people littered all over the tracks. Police get there and a person warns a cop that he'll touch the 3rd rail, so there is a standstill on the bridge. Trains are unable to use the Manhattan Bridge. 

Then a unruly passenger pulls the emergency brake on the  in the between Grand Central and Vernon Blvd.

Also a Person jumped I front of the  at 191 St Manhattan Bound.

In addition, major signal problems are occurring on the  and   and halts Service south of 3 Av 149 st.

Then a Manhattan Bound  catches fire at Marcy Av.

Then a  train derails as it leaves Grant Avenue damaging Queens and Manhattan bound tracks.

Manhattan bound  Trains are stuck at Smith 9 street because of debris on the track. The Express tracks are undergoing repairs after a cracked rail, and no Express trains are allowed to run.

Sadly, A work train broke down inside of the city hall loop affecting  trains

Then in the Bronx, A fight breaks out at Bedford Park Blvd on a Manhattan bound  which requires police to be called.

Then a shoot out is happening in Coney Island terminal with rival gangs. All platforms are not to be used in Service.

And for the Cherry on top. We have a major collision in Times Square were a  rear ended a  and a fire engulfs both trains. 

... oh and no trains may pass through 42 st because of smoke filling up in All tunnels. (Except 6 Avenue and Lex)

In an effort to steer things to some normalcy...

It is 1:00 AM on a Saturday.

Background: 

• The connection from the 8th Avenue Line to 53rd Street is unusable NB.
• All of 53rd Street is unusable SB due to signal maintenance and signal repair.  
•  trains are running to/from 2nd Avenue
• WTC is not accessible
• All Broadway service is running on the local track.

Scenario:

The 6th Avenue line had to be taken out of service at midnight to fix signals which severely delayed service earlier on. No service is able to run on 6th Avenue in Manhattan. Broadway line remains in service, but there has been a person hit by a train on the SB local tracks at Prince Street.

Reroute away.

Note: You must first deal with the 6th Avenue situation, then deal with the Broadway Line situation to get a complete list of changes.

Three separate incidents happen:

2. There is a door problem at a  train in the northbound express track at 34th St/Herald Square.

3. Similarly, there is a track fire at the northbound track in Grand St, and it has spread to the other track, forcing the station to close.

Reroute away!

Also, you can't fit  and  into the local tracks. Similarly,  on Culver isn't going to work without having to reduce the headways or rerouting a line, and is also  on 6th Ave, this would cause considerable delays.

Actually, on weekends and overnight, you can have three lines running on 63rd since it doesn't come close to 30TPH.  That said, here goes:

ends early on Friday.

Select  trains runs local on 6th Avenue

runs via the from Roosevelt Avenue-West 4th, then regular route.

(A)(D) runs local southbound from 125 to 59. Select (A)(D) trains may turn around at 125.

(W) is extended to 86 St (N) and (R)(W) goes via Manhattan Bridge northbound. Select (R)(W) may terminate at Court Street, or go via 6th Ave to reduce delays. However, you now have to deal with DeKalb Avenue...

A perennial favourite.

The answer is always to first send only trains through and to pull the plug on service in Manhattan ASAP so the major routes can pass through with minimal delays. (Chambers Street or Broad Street will be the western terminus.) Those in midroute will run via 63 Street. For alternatives, transfer to the at Canal Street, Chambers Street, Fulton Street, or Myrtle–Wyckoff Streets.

Southbound trains will be sent via 8 Avenue between West 4 Street–Washington Square and Jay Street–MetroTech. When traffic conditions are unfavorable, they will be rerouted via the Crosstown Line and northbound trains may be truncated to Delancey Street–Essex Street. trains will make some nearby station stops in Manhattan; transfer at Queens Plaza (), Lexington Avenue–63 Street (), 34 Street–Herald Square (), Jay Street–MetroTech (), or 4 Avenue–9 Street (). trains will continue serving express stations between 47–50 Streets–Rockefeller Center and Broadway–Lafayette Streets in both directions.

trains from Queens will terminate at Lexington Avenue–53 Street or Queens Plaza (whatever @Wallyhorse means by “the switch at the Manhattan end of the 53rd Street Tunnel”). Use the at Jackson Heights–Roosevelt Avenue or at Queens Plaza to connect with alternatives and nearby stations in Manhattan.

trains will be suspended ASAP to free up capacity on the local tracks. Use the trains instead.

Northbound trains will run local along Broadway. trains will run local along Broadway in both directions to remove an additional merge in Manhattan. trains will run via tunnel in both directions to keep DeKalb Avenue from becoming a logjam.

trains will stop at DeKalb Avenue in both directions.

may be delayed as rerouted/truncated trains share tracks with them. Additional merging delays are expected at Queens Plaza (), Court Square (), Prince Street (), West 4 Street–Washington Square (), Canal Street (), Jay Street–MetroTech (), DeKalb Avenue (), and Atlantic Avenue–Barclays Center ().

 service reduced to 10 minutes. Allow additional travel time.

Most  from Queens terminates at Court Square or Queens Plaza. Select trains go via 63rd and 6 Av, running express northbound. Limited service between WTC and Lexington Av-53rd. [11 btw Jamaica Center and Court Sq or Queens Plaza] [5 btw Jamaica Center and WTC via 63rd and 6th Av] and [4 btw WTC and Lexington Av-53rd]

TPHs:

And now you have to deal with DeKalb again, and the merging mess...

This is the best I could do without suspending any services. If you suspend  temporarily, you can get away with 30 TPH in 6th Ave Express by removing " via Nassau" and 24 TPH on DeKalb Bridge tracks, without the need to divert  via Montague.

Next:

's executives did not like what the new person whatever that leads the , and it led into a fight that ended up shutting off power west of Broadway (exclusive) between Houston Street and 57th Street (inclusive).

For a weird reason, the switches south of 59 St and the tracks that  use between 59 St and 7 Av has still has power. There's just enough power to allow up to 5 trains to stop on either level. More trains and the entire station loses power. 

Area affected: 

Reroute away!
