Threxx Posted March 19, 2012 Share #352 Posted March 19, 2012 I agree with two timer. it is hard to come up with a riddle. Sometime when you think it only answer but didn't realize a possibility of another. riddle As of right now i only touch Queens for one stop. Who am I ? most of you should get this. Hold off on your riddle for now. It is NX's turn. If he passes, you can go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NX Express Posted March 19, 2012 Share #353 Posted March 19, 2012 If you extend me past one terminus and reroute me on the other end, you will make me into a teardrop shaped route with the same terminal on both ends. I stay away from beaches. Who am I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoTimer Posted March 20, 2012 Share #361 Posted March 20, 2012 The ? Pass if correct.. Incorrect. The has trips starting/ending at 238th (and 137 as well). Don't go by the map on the , because another map would have the entire station in Brooklyn, with the Queens border "buried" deep in the graveyard. That's why I never asked that question because that too is a bit leaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share #364 Posted March 20, 2012 I'll go. Please. If you hate me so much, and value that other service along our segment together, I'll just go to my brother's terminal, or to a friends terminal, but if I go to my friend's my cousin sometimes heads there to torment me. What's a cousin that keeps trying to avoid me. I meet my cousin more than once. I don't want to hear my cousin so I just go my own path, but sometimes I get diverted but if I do, I stall my cousin.

Who am I, the sufferer? Who is my idiotic cousin? Who is my Brother? Who is my friend? ------------------ Who I am? The #5 line Who is my idiotic cousin? The #3 line Who is my brother? The #2 line Who is my friend? The #4 line. Several transit fans have expressed their dislike of the #5 line, saying that is simply duplicates other services, and "goes nowhere" on its own. Also for a while the MTA suspended the #5 route on weekends for weeks on end for G.O's. Plenty of transit fans have expressed their love of the #4 line which gets 24/7/365 service, fairly quick trains, and is often seen as the useful express service on Lexington Avenue. The brother's terminal is Flatbush Avenue, while the friend's terminal is Utica Avenue. The #5 route rarely if ever had its own sole terminal in Brooklyn. Sometimes #5 trains are sent to or originate from the New Lots terminal where the #3 calls home. The #3 and the #5 meet only on certain stops, with the #3 traveling the westside but not the Bronx, while the #5 travels the eastside on Lexington Avenue. When #5 trains are diverted to the westside, riders become fearful and crowd the #3 line because it is not a usual line that is expected. Just my thoughts.

Mike You got the sufferer right: The The idiotic Cousin The brother : The friend: The is inconsistent the way it is. People would prefer the better in the Bronx and in Brooklyn The cousin is the since the Bronx and Brooklyn Sections are almost the same. However, the Manhattan Section is different. The Brother is the . They operate together from 149 street to Bowling Green or Franklin Avenue. The is really more of a reliever for the . The goes to either Utica Avenue hence the brother term for the . The can also go to New Lots Avenue hence the reason of the being a friend, however the also goes to New Lots Avenue. The in the Bronx makes 5 stops by itself. Some trains however go to 238 street/Nereid Avenue, stalling the at the station before Nereid Avenue.

Definitely something about the . I am going to have to say Essex/Delancey Street. But then again, Chambers Street seems pretty legit to be the answer. It seems to be the ideal terminal, and I can see those inner tracks being put to LIRR use. But Essex/Delancey, because it has plenty of tracks, and 2 are unused I think.

TwoTimer Posted March 22, 2012 Share #375 Posted March 22, 2012 at Chambers, used to connect to the Manny B (Nassau Loop), and the LIRR used to run trains out of there (there's that Rockaway branch again) for a short period of time (looked that piece up, knew the other parts). The rise at the end of Chambers st was an abandoned attempt to connect the station to the Brooklyn Bridge above. Its the south terminal for the now on weekends, it used to be about midway when the (Mx) went down to Bay Parkway, and it was the north terminal for those <R> bankers specials. http://www.columbia.edu/~brennan/abandoned/chambers.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
