B35 via Church Posted January 11, 2020 Share #1629 Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) Quote from the news12 article: "During one particular month, the comptroller says there were 24 mechanical incidents reported by the MTA, but 14 other mechanical incidents that resulted in delays or lost trips were not reported. Had they been included, “the number of failures would have been 58% higher.” The report also criticizes the LIRR for recording ridership numbers based on tickets purchased instead of actual people on the trains." Hilarious, for several reasons..... 14 hours ago, EphraimB said: Someone told me that there's a lot of light by the Croton-Harmon train station. It is well lit over there, but what's wrong with that exactly?

danielhg121 Posted January 11, 2020 Share #1630 Posted January 11, 2020 I just realized New Hyde Park is one of those special stations where in some cases the Peak Fare is cheaper than the Off Peak fare. LOL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted January 13, 2020 Share #1637 Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) On myLIRR, it states that train 6153 (11:54 PM from Babylon to Penn) is a 2-car train. I have my suspicions about that, but what's the story with this train? Is a 2-car set a thing anywhere in the system?

The 'cars' section only listed two cars as well (it was an M7, IIRC, 7801/7802). I want to believe that it's a mistake, but at the same time, I can believe it if it actually was a 2-car train. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, this was on the Babylon branch itself (I looked at it from Babylon all the way into the Massapequa), and then after Jamaica. In both instances, it mentioned that the train was 2 cars long.

It's one thing to run entire 8 car trains & locking like half of them from passenger consumption... It's another to simply run 2 whole cars on a particular train in service.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainfan22 Posted January 13, 2020 Share #1644 Posted January 13, 2020 I doubt they ran a two car train in service, 6 MU is the minimum allowed in service IIRC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N6 Limited Posted January 13, 2020 Share #1645 Posted January 13, 2020 @BM5 via Woodhaven I've been on trains where only the first 2 car numbers are listed in MyLIRR, but the train is 6 or 8 cars long, is that what you're referring to? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps. IDK what the story is with that train because I didn't get to see it in person. I was just browsing through, and came across it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
