darkstar8983 Posted October 24, 2022 Share #7726 Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) This morning's rush hour was a mess! pretty much every B division trunk line had an issue. To sum them up: - Power problems along Midtown 6th Av and 8th Av - Track work on the Broadway and Brighton Lines that ran about 90 minutes later than anticipated, delaying Manhattan-bound trains. - Train breakdowns that snarled service on 4th Av in Brooklyn. - Switch problems near Coney Island that screwed up service (the one Coney Island-Manhattan route that had not been screwed up in Brooklyn...yet) Hopefully this will not be a glimpse of what's to come (especially the weekend track work running late - which has been happening quite a lot actually, with work trains breaking down on their way back to the yard, wrapping up the work to get the tracks and signaling ready for the AM rush, etc.) Edited October 24, 2022 by darkstar8983 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted October 24, 2022 Share #7727 Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Add the IRT into the mix: Some Reroutes Southbound trains express from 72 St to Times Sq-42 St. Northbound trains via from 149 St-Grand Concourse to Nevins St. trains are delayed in both directions while we emergency teams respond to someone who was struck by a train at 59 St-Columbus Circle. For service to/from bypassed stations, take a northbound train. You may wait longer for southbound and trains as they share tracks with these rerouted trains.

zacster Posted November 1, 2022 Share #7733 Posted November 1, 2022 They suspend the B entirely at the drop of a hat as it doesn't serve any lines not served by other routes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s true, especially because the and heavily interact with the IND lines. But it seems like anyone on here or NYC Rail Reddit - and definitely on SubChat -who suggests a fix for Columbus Circle that would result in the loss of somebody’s one-seat ride risks incurring the wrath of said somebody. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The is affected by the between Essex St and Myrtle Av-Broadway, but the affects it more because the runs with all other lines that run along QBL. Those lines are also indirectly affected by literally every other B division line in the system aside from the and Franklin Av huttle. Even the (imagine this as a circle) still affects the because it ran into South Brooklyn and along West End which ran with the (pre-2000) to later the current service, both being IND lines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamen Rider Posted November 10, 2022 Share #7748 Posted November 10, 2022 When that 12-9 at Jackson Heights over the cell phone happened, I was working the J. The minute it became clear the Queens Corridor was no-go, they sent Ms to chambers or turned them on J3-4 at Essex. I was only delayed a few minutes at best. conversely, if something has gone wrong on the BMT side, the M can be turned at 2nd Ave. so, honestly, the J is not as dependent on the rest of the system… also I firmly believe that the Gold Street/Dekalb interlocking complex is the true lynchpin of the B division. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its both Columbus Circle and DeKalb interlocking that hold the B division on pins and needles (to a lesser extent, West 4 St since there is no interlining there). And for the A division, obviously its Rogers Av Junction (and to a lesser extent 149 St-Grand Concourse) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
