For a weird reason, the switches south of 59 St and the tracks that (B)(D) 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. 

Correction: This is supposed to say "There's just enough power to allow up to 5 trains to stop on either level at 34 St-Herald Square. More trains and the entire station loses power. "

The Manhattan Bridge both the North Tracks and South Tracks will closed for train traffic due to some urgent maintenance and repairs. Reroute (B)(D)(N)(Q) lines.

This will be fun:

(B) runs via 6th Avenue and CPW between 2nd Avenue (F) station and 145th Street or Bedford Park Boulevard ONLY (and runs local on 6th Avenue to replace the (M) there).

(D) is split as follows:
Via 6th Avenue to 2nd Avenue (F) station.
Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center (Pacific Street) OR 36th Stereet to Coney Island

(G) is temporarily extended to 71st-Continental to replace the (M) in Queens

(brownM) returns to being Brown and runs all times between Metropolitan Avenue and 95th Street-Bay Ridge

(N) and (Q) via tunnel, regular route otherwise

Since I could not edit the previous post to add a few things:

(B) runs via 6th Avenue and CPW between 2nd Avenue station and 145th Street or Bedford Park Boulevard ONLY (and runs local on 6th Avenue to replace the there).

(D) is split as follows:
Via 6th Avenue to 2nd Avenue station.
Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center (Pacific Street) OR 36th Stereet to Coney Island

(G) is temporarily extended to 71st-Continental to replace the (M) in Queens

(brownM) returns to being Brown and runs all times between Metropolitan Avenue and 95th Street-Bay Ridge, replacing the (R) in Brooklyn.

(N) and (Q) via tunnel, regular route otherwise (see below on notes).

(R) is truncated to between Whitehall Street and 71st-Continental (select (R) trains and and begin at Canal Street)

(W) is suspended with additional (N) service running between Canal Street and Ditmars Boulevard as need.

Suppose it happens right when everything and all train are running normal.  At first trains will be all over the place, traffic jams, and become a Transit disaster. 

(B) and (D) from Bronx and Manhattan some would Travel Via 6 Av line to 34 St-Herald Sq or to 2 Av and then return back Uptown and to The Bronx. Some could run Via 8 Av terminate at World Trade Center or follow the (A)(C) line into Brooklyn and then at Jay St run the (F) line. In Manhattan at West 4 St local track could switch from 8 Av to 6 Av (F) Line to 2 Av or into Brooklyn. Then they would start suspending (B) trains and taken them out of Passenger Service .

(B) from Brooklyn to Manhattan would be Suspended and some Trains that are still on the road would be taken out of Passenger Service.

(D) trains in Brooklyn operate from Coney Island to Atlantic Av run Express Via 4 Av.

(M) trains would start to operate only from Metropolitan Av to Chambers St. Some (M) trains that are still on the road on 6 Av and Queens Blvd will complete their run until there is no more (M) trains on those lines and then no Passenger Service.

(F) trains some will run normal and some will run Via (G) line. 

(N) would make all Local stops and Via Tunnel in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens.

(Q) would make all Local stops Via Tunnel in Brooklyn and Local in Manhattan to 96 St.

(R) normal service.

(W) Suspended and some Trains that are still on the road will complete their run and then No Passenger Service.

Some (E)(F) in Queens would make Local stops to help out (R) trains.

(MTA)'s executives did not like what the new person whatever that leads the (MTA), and it led into a fight that ended up shutting off power west of Broadway (exclusive) between Houston Street and 57th Street (inclusive). This means the Broadway Line and 7th Av north of 45th Street is not affected.

For a weird reason, the switches south of 59 St and the tracks that (B)(D) use between 59 St and 7 Av has still has power. In Herald Square-34 St, there's just enough power to allow up to 5 trains to stop on either level. More trains and the entire station loses power.

Next scenario (PM rush):

  • Myrtle Avenue ((J)(M)(Z)) — switch malfunctions preventing trains from traversing tracks east of the station
  • 2 Avenue ((F)<F>) — drunk man spotted among middle tracks trying to use the third rail to juice up his smartphone; power to station shut off and consequently no trains are able to pass through
  • West 4 Street–Washington Square ((A)(B)(C)(D)(E)(F)<F>(M)) — woman struck by (B) train pulling into the station on the southbound 6 Avenue express track
  • Queens Plaza ((E)(M)(R)) — smoke condition and low visibility
  • Hoyt Street ((2)(3)) — hit and run with injured passenger in New Lots Avenue-bound (3) train in the station

At the start AM rush, a drunk person trying to walk across the tracks at Kingston-Throop on the (A)(C) causes a massive derailment that causes big damage to all four tracks there.  This occurs early on a Friday and causes the area to have to be closed for repairs for several days including two weekends.

In addition, there's a rail condition near the switch on the upper level of Bergen St. on the (F)(G) that requires emergency work

On top of that, there's a malfunctioning switch between the express tracks on the Broadway line in the area between Herald and Times Square

and

Because of a switch issue north of 42nd Street-8th Avenue, the (E) can only reach its 50th Street northbound via the express track.

Next:

Monday, 4am: A water main bursts near Dyckman St. The entire station floods, rendering it impassable. This also means there is no connection from Dyckman St to the 207th St Yard, so there will be a shortage of rolling stock on when rush hour comes.

Monday, 8am: Due to the ongoing reconstruction works, there is a fire on the Grand Central (S) platform. The entire station must be evacuated and no trains may pass through due to large amounts of smoke.

Monday, 10am: A suicidal person somehow makes their way from the walkway on the Manhattan Bridge to the tracks. As the NYPD attempts to calm them down, no trains can cross the bridge on either side.

Monday, 12pm: The person is coaxed off the Manhattan Bridge and service may resume.

Monday, 2pm: A drunk person on the tracks causes a major derailment on the (L) where a Manhattan-bound train jumps off the rails and crashes on to the (J) and (Z) platforms at Broadway Junction. Power is shut off to the (A) and (C) platforms. Miraculously, no one dies, but no trains will be able to go through Broadway Junction for a while.

Monday, 2pm: The fire at Grand Central is extinguished and the FDNY gives the all-clear to resume normal service.

Monday, 10pm: All water is drained from Dyckman St and the station is usable again.

Tuesday, 2am: A round-the-clock effort pays off, and the wreckage is cleared off of the tracks at Broadway Junction and service may resume.

How does this even happen...but, (A)s will terminate at Utica Avenue southbound, northbound (A)s terminate at Euclid Avenue. (J)s will run Between Broad Street and Metropolitan Avenue, and Crescent Street to Jamaica Center. (L)s will run between Halsey Street (yes, you can terminate trains there), and 8th Avenue, as well as Livonia Avenue (not risking Atlantic Avenue), to Canarsie-Rockaway Parkway.

Next scenario:

A switch malfunction east of Broadway-Lafayette St prevents (B)(D)(M) from switching to/from the Chrystie Street Connection.

Additionally, a passenger falls onto the tracks at 47-50th Sts-Rockefeller Center and gets struck by an incoming express train, prompting the closure of the station.

Lastly, a fire breaks out at Fulton Center, which spreads and damages the (4)(5) platform. NYPD and FDNY orders power to be shut down on all of the station complex.

What if Times-Square-42nd Street and 34th Street-Herald Square Suffered a Sarin Attack?

No (1)s, (2)s, or (3)s, between 14th Street and 96th Street.
No (N)s, (Q)s, (R)s between Whitehall and 57th-7th. (W)s are suspended.
No (B)s, (D)s, (F)s between W4th and 57th/59th Street. (M)s run between CI Via Brighton and Middle Village.
No (7)s between Grand...Hunters Point Avenue and 34th Street.
No Shuttle trains.
I suppose the 8th Avenue Line is affected, so No (A)s, (C)s between 59th and W4th Street on 6th Avenue. No (E)s between Lexington Avenue and World Trade Center.
Imma add buses, so M42 runs between 5th Avenue and 1st Avenue, M104, M5, M7, runs between its respective terminals and Columbus Circle, M1-4, Q32, runs between 50th Street and their respective terminals, M34/A runs between Park and their respective terminals, all northbound buses from downtown between 10th and Park terminates at 23rd Street.
(4)s, (5)s, and (6)s are skipping Grand Central.
