The person did not die. He fell in that deep portion of the track and emerged unscathed.

179 St-bound (E) and (F) trains have delays and service changes while our crews replace rails at Sutphin Blvd.

Some 179 St-bound (E) and (F) train service will end at Forest Hills-71 Av

179 St-bound (E) and (F) trains are holding in stations.

 

UPDATE:

Looks like this rail repair is more urgent than expect. Let's hope it's done by the start of the rush hour (and also hope that a work train doesn't stall there):

Double whammy

Delays  Posted: 01/14/2019  7:25AM  

Southbound (A) trains are running with delays after we removed trains with door problems from service at 190 St and 168 St.   
 

Since both stations are key points that the (A) must be able to reach, turning the backlog of trains must have been troublesome. 190 Street is just south of a set of switches, and so is 168 Street. There are no switches around 145 Street to turn back (A) trains on the upper level, so the (A) and (B) have to share the single track on the lower level.

No they wouldn't because this was during the AM Rush Hour when the (B) Train runs to/from Bedford Park Blvd.

 

If anything they probably would've had the southbound (D) Trains local from Tremont Avenue to 145th Street if they had to used the center track at 145th Street to turn the (A) Train.

There are extensive delays and service changes in (B)(D)(N) and (Q) train service after we moved a stalled work train on the Manhattan Bridge and a signal problem at Grand St. 

(B) train service has resumed in both directions. 

Brooklyn-bound (D) and (N) trains are making local stops between Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr and 36 St (Brooklyn).  

Considering taking the (A)(C)(2)(3)(4) or (5) trains for service between Manhattan and Brooklyn.
