Service Change  Posted: 07/16/2018  2:49PM 
 

Southbound (E) trains are running local from Jamaica-Van Wyck to Forest Hills-71 Av.

Southbound (F) trains are running express from Jamaica-179 St to Forest Hills-71 Av.

These service changes are because of a rail condition at Sutphin Blvd.

What's with the MTA not listing the service changes?

Service Change  Posted: 07/16/2018  4:35PM 

There are delays and service changes on northbound (2) and (3) lines in Manhattan and the Bronx because of signal problems at 96 St.  There is reduced northbound service on the (2) line north of Times Sq-42 St
 

UPDATE:

Service Change  Posted: 07/16/2018  4:38PM 
 

Northbound (E) trains are running local from Queens Plaza to Jackson Hts-Roosevelt Av.

Northbound (F) trains are running local from 21 St-Queensbridge to Jackson Hts-Roosevelt Av.

These service changes are because of a train with mechanical problems at Jackson Hts-Roosevelt Av.

Expect delays in (E) , (F) , (M) and (R) train service.

Could've sworn I heard an R142 at 207th St...

Some southbound (A) and (C) trains are stopping along the (E) line from Canal St and end at Chambers St.

Expect delays in (A) , (C) and (E) train service in both directions.

These service changes are because a train's brakes were automatically activated at Jay St-MetroTech.

O-la-la, R62A's on Jerome:

There is no (6) train service between 125 St and Hunts Point Av in both directions because of flooding at 3 Av-138 St.

Some northbound (6) trains are stopping along the (4) line from 125 St and end at 149 St-Grand Concourse or Burnside Av.

As an alternative, customers can use the Bx15 bus at 125 St or the Bx19 bus at 149 St-Grand Concourse for continuing service.

See a station agent for a courtesy ticket for continuing service.

Southbound (6) trains are running express from Hunts Point Av to 3 Av-138 St because of flooding at 3 Av-138 St.

Expect delays in (6) train service in both directions.

Northbound (6) train service has resumed.

 

Service Change

Some 8 Av-bound (L) trains end at Myrtle-Wyckoff Avs or Bedford Av because of signal problems between Bedford Av and 1 Av.

Our crews are on site working to restore normal service along the (L) line as quickly as possible. We'll keep you updated.

Service Change

There is no (3) train service between Crown Hts-Utica Av and New Lots Av in both directions because of an NYPD investigation at Sutter Av.

As an alternative, customers are advised to use the B14 and B15 bus service. 

 

UPDATE 7:16 PM

Not mentioned on the website, but here's what I'm noticing:

*SB (4) trains are running local in Brooklyn and are terninating at Franklin Avenue, Utica Avenue, and maybe even Flatbush Avenue (need confirmation on the latter though)

 

* There is limited(3) train service between Manhattan and Brooklyn. Some service may be running via the (1) south of Chambers Street.

 

UPDATE 7:20 PM

There is no southbound (2) or (3) service from lower Manhattan into Brooklyn.

Southbound (4) and (5) trains are running local from Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr to Franklin Av.  

Some southbound (5) trains are stopping along the (2) line from 149 St-Grand Concourse to Nevins St.

Expect delays in (2) , (3) , (4) and (5) train service.

These service changes are because of FDNY activity at Nevins St.

There are currently about 10 full size fire trucks at all the 181 St (A) entrances and delays going uptown. MTA.info says this is due to an “investigation”. Anyone know what happened?

Delays  Posted: 07/17/2018 11:21PM 
 

Northbound (A) train are running on the southbound track from 181 St to Inwood-207 St because of hanging electrical wires at 181 St.

Expect delays in (A) train service.

Honestly hats off to whichever dispatcher thought of this -- flexing the reverse signalling/absolute block capability. The NYCT I know would suspend service north of 168.

What percentage of the system has reverse signaling?

There are extensive delays and service changes on the (B)(D)(F) and (M) lines with limited service between Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan because of a switch problem at 34 St-Herald Sq. Please take another train line if you can.

They have done this quite a few times when Apple service has had issues up that way..

Actually most of the system, any place with new signaling definitely has it..

Also most of the underriver tunnels have some level of reverse functionality. 

I had heard that in areas without true reverse signaling you can operate as an absolute block between entry/exit switches. Is this true?

You can but these days they wont let it happen Unless there is a emergency...

Also hooking down stop arms will have to be needed or the train will go BIE every time.
