Nah, the WP dropouts are data errors — ignore them. The gigantic gap is the real story.

You have the one for the  earlier today?

It would appear that being early to catch a train isn't always advantageous. Just passed by DeKalb Avenue on the express and there was a local dwelling on the bridge track. There was a in front of it at the junction.

Couldn’t they just deinterline the entirety of 8 Avenue all the way up Central Park West? It should make the service faster after accounting for confused riders at the express stops. Having the and cross each other’s paths north of 145 Street is just stupid. Did nobody in operations foresee delays attributed to that alone?

Unless they removed the switch north of the station('s upper level), that's not an issue.

1257 EST, "Northbound trains are arriving on the local track at 59 St-Columbus Circle because of a switch malfunction near that station. Expect delays in northbound  , , and service."  

1516 EST, "Northbound   trains are holding in stations while we request NYPD to respond to reports of a subway surfer at 14 St."

1535 EST, "Update: There are service changes in northbound and service because of a switch malfunction at 59 St-Columbus Circle.   

Northbound trains are running on the express track from Canal St to 145 St.  

Northbound trains are running on the local track from 59 St-Columbus Circle to 205 St. " 

1538 EST, "Update: There are delays and service changes in northbound , , and service while we request NYPD to respond to reports of a subway surfer at 14 St.    

Northbound trains are running on the express track from Canal St to 59 St-Columbus Circle.  

Northbound trains are running on the express track from Canal St to 42 St-Port Authority Bus Terminal. " 

 

I think that they suspended the  local service because of the safety problem(while they were fixing the switch) and to not mess up the rush hour service. The local track cannot handle  at the same time at rush hour without delay the services. Or the switch might not be working while they were fixing it.
