An accident in FASTRACK on the BMT Broadway Line from Rector st to 57 St.

 

No foam, or I keel you.

[Guest Lance]

I didn't know Achmed joined the forums here.

 

Anyhow, assuming this takes place during the same time the other FASTRACKs take place (10p-5a):

- split service; Ditmars Blvd to 57 St-7 Av, Rector St to Stillwell Av via local

- 57 St/6 Av to Stillwell Av via 6th Avenue Express, Brighton Local

- truncated to shuttle early

- weekday service ends early

 

Interesting that you chose Rector St as the southern cutoff instead of Whitehall St since the latter has the middle track and the ability to turn trains around easily. Terminating at Rector St means you'd have to single track between the two aforementioned stations.

[Brighton Express]

via the 5 Av to Astoria Ditmars (Astoria Local)

 

via the CI to DeKalb Av (Brighton Local)

via the DeKalb Av to Whitehall St

 

Bay Ridge Shuttle

 

Shuttle Buses provide Broadway Line service (Express and Local), free transfer between 21 St and 39 Av.

An accident in FASTRACK on the BMT Broadway Line from Rector st to 57 St.

 

This assumes Fastrack runs the same hours as others:

 

runs all night to Columbus Circle-59th Street OR 57th Street-6th Avenue and replaces the in Brooklyn from DeKalb Avenue-Coney Island as a local (special OOS transfers are available at whichever location the is originating from and 57th/7th as well as between the Times Square and 6th Avenue line stations on 42nd Street).

 

during FASTRACK runs all times Astoria-57th Street/7th and Whitehall Street-Coney Island (Shuttle train between Whitehall and Rector Street)

 

 

runs to Brooklyn from Whitehall Street until normal end of service, then shuttle is extended to Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center

 

is suspended during FASTTRACK.

[VWM]

What I meant was trains could not pass rector and whitehall was the southern cutoff, sorry if I was unclear.

[Wallyhorse]

Okay:

 

In the first scenario I wrote above, change the 's terminal once FASTTRACK begins each night to Court Street until end of normal service (there is a crossover just past Metrotech), then after that the late night shuttle remains extended to Atlantic Avenue.

 

Below is a second plan for this situation:

 

runs in two sections:

Ditmars-Astoria to 57th/7th

Whitehall Street-Coney Island

 

The is shortened to five-car, 300' trains and operates via the Nassau Street line and then Montauge Tunnel from Essex Street-DeKalb Avenue before resuming regular route (the actual old route of the ).

 

The runs in Brooklyn from Court Street-95th Street to the end of regular service, then runs as an extended shuttle to Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center.

 

The runs all night to take pressure off the on 6th Avenue and runs it's daytime route to 71st-Continental ( riders can switch to the or at Essex for 6th Avenue).

NEXT:

 

In 2018, the eastern-most Williamsburg-bound Nassau track is to be reconnected to the south side of the Manny B, for a new Nassau loop service. The MTA takes this opportunity to fix Chambers St (yeah, 2018 they do this...) and have a FasTrack on the Nassau line.

 

Reroute the & .

 

Montague St can only handle 6 TPH, and the Willy B can only handle 13 TPH. Fix the & as well. The & are unaffected, for now. (There is a follow up situation.)

Problem chief? It will run some trains during rush hours, doesn't matter at all. You never asked for the complete stats...

Why is the running from 2nd Avenue-Continental?

[Brighton Express]

Why is the running from 2nd Avenue-Continental?

 

 

...Because I want it too perhaps?

 

I am sure you solve scenarios here, not criticize other people's. If I wan't it to make some rush hour trips up, then thats what I want chief. Haters can hate. Let the haters talk.

Ok chief, no harm intended here. I never meant it directed towards you. I am just putting it out as general advice. If someone wants to do something about you, don't blow it out of porportion, just drop it. No use trying to move a wall that you cant.

 

I am sorry.

I'm not gonna attempt this one...

[Guest Lance]

Gotta love all these localized natural disasters you guys come up with. It's like something out of a made for TV SyFy channel movie. Not for nothing, but I'm pretty sure an earthquake in New York would utterly demolish the subway system. But whatever. I'm just making an observation.

I was about to say that...

 

Let me propose my own, with a bit more realism:

Because of a police investigation, the power had to be shut off to the southbound 8 Av Local track. It is not usable between 59 St (including 59 St station) and 34 St - Penn Station (including 34 St station).
