I was in a huge rush. They don't stop at Queens Plaza. I have a student MetroCard. I took the E to Forest Hills with no issue, but after being held for a few minutes, announcements stated that trains were extensively delayed/no service. I rushed with my brother to get the Q60. We leave early from home at 6:15 and usually arrive at school 25 minutes early for school. Because of that, and because we switched to the Q60. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are definitely express buses that serve Forest Hills. With the subways being what they are, I would know all of my options. Not faulting you, but perhaps you could've avoided being 30 minutes late for school. I check the service board every morning before I leave to see what is going on and am ready to change if need be.

That being said I’m wondering if they really had be in the tunnel/outside a station. If it’s outside maybe they can walk to the nearest station (being that power was off anyway) or it’s too dangerous since people may fall down below ? In any case both incidents are not the MTA’s fault so people shouldn’t bash them about being late for work . im wondering though if they had to turn off power on all tracks in both incidents Edited May 29, 2018 by Abba 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenSin Posted May 29, 2018 Share #5216 Posted May 29, 2018 My Manhattan-bound ran express from Mets–Willets Point to 74 Street–Broadway at around 5:30 PM. Along the way, we bypassed a local train at 103 Street–Corona Plaza and another stalled train at Junction Boulevard. The MTA site read “signal problems at Junction Boulevard.” Triple-track setup saves the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case both incidents are not the MTA’s fault so people shouldn’t bash them about being late for work . im wondering though if they had to turn off power on all tracks in both incidents I'm trained to rig scaffolding but the first time I had to walk the structure between stations I realized exactly how dangerous it was. I guess the changeover to the plastic fiberglass walkway is complete now. I will tell you that the wood walkways were totally exposed to the elements and rain and snow caused the wood to rot. Sometimes it was visible to the naked eye and sometimes it wasn't. I've seen employees fall through the structure although never all the way down to the street. A friend of mine , a M/M who was always taking pictures of trains even while working, went down to his waist when the wood walkway between tracks gave way in 240th St yard. He, I, and two other guys were walking the structure between Livonia yard and the New Lots station one night when I touched the handrail and a piece of it came loose and fell to the playground below us. Luckily no one was hurt. Simply put the NYPD won't walk the structure with the power off so I'm sure the supervision would never allow a structure evacuation unless it's an emergency and FDNY manages it. Trains stuck between stations don't normally qualify as an emergency situation. Just my experience though. Carry on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted May 30, 2018 Share #5218 Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) The entire NB board at W 4 Street on Subway Time says 'Delayed', while the SB has readings for trains to Second Avenue in addition to Stillwell. Let's see if something pops up on the MTA website.

How in the world do they terminate at 61st-Woodside if they removed the switches years ago? Do they run trains on the express track and just skip 69th? Looks like recipe for disaster!
