This is where if the is a 480' train, they could have it run via the between West 4th and Essex and then via the to Broadway Junction and terminate there. That would at least give those in midtown going to points east of Broadway Junction a one-seat ride there and then being able to continue from there normally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on where you’re starting from and your destination the or the LIRR aren’t bad ideas. If you’re in Downtown Brooklyn the B25 stops above the subway and provides transfers to other bus routes at the subway stations. While your suggestion would be possible that train would only be in the way of normal service and missing from the IND Fulton service when the problem cleared up. I don’t know the particulars in this case but, unless you’re money hungry, I would hate to be on your if that was my last trip and layup. We were taught to isolate any problem and not spread it around. Just my take. Heck, I’ve been on rerouted a train and ended up in Lenox yard because of trouble on Lexington Avenue and then on the WPR side. Redbirds in Lenox yard were a rarity.

CenSin Posted February 2, 2020 Share #6858 Posted February 2, 2020 Definitely not “planned” at all: the hobbled by track workers along the entire length of the line from Chinatown to Coney Island. I was able to prepare for the 10-minute headway, but not the slow crawl of the trains. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MTA has an issue that whenever service is messed up trains can never run normally . In this case once they got to Broadway Junction I doubt service was normal. I’m sure trains were not running normal headways. It’s not a bad idea though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, but the idea is to be able to get and riders who are going east to Broadway Junction there without having to make more than one transfer if possible. That is worth doing even if it messes the up somewhat. Sometimes, spreading the pain is the right call. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took over two hours to clear and surprisingly the person didn't die. Lost a leg however. The crews on the Train that was sitting at Franklin Avenue for over two hours sure had "Fun" especially when they ended up staying in service to finish up its trip. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not so bad if they terminate it on the middle track. As long as they send them out the other way in a timely manner back to Manhattan. But now that I think about it it requires a move to 6th line and a merge with and that’s not so great.

My concern was about the train crew and the equipment. Looking at the time frame for the that crew and train might have been scheduled to finish up at Euclid Avenue upon arrival.. It’s easy for us to be cavalier about these things but imagine sending this run back uptown , to who knows where, on a train where scheduled service has ended for the night. Whether you end up at 168th, 207th, yard or station. An RTO guy like me would look at the time and ask “now what “ ? I’m uptown with this train from left field when I should be home or at least on my way. Depending on the supervision uptown I might have to take the consist back south to Pitkin yard. Either way I have to make my way back to Euclid Avenue to sign out and get home. Emergency situations do happen every day but why make things worse ? I’m sure the people on Wallyhorse’s rerouted train are happy tonight. Probably some of them will complain about the system the next day. Meanwhile the train crew is screwed over with no grease and the outside observers say it’s okay, they get paid, or something to that effect. I have been in this type of situation before. Turned back south at Chambers on my last trip to Lenox Avenue on a . Sent back to Utica . G.O. in effect between there and New Lots. After the last scheduled left Utica I made a trip in service to Lenox. I lived in Brooklyn at the other end.. To get home I had take a bus to 149th and the Concourse, the to Fulton, the to Broadway-East New York and a cab from there because I didn’t want to take the to Rockaway Parkway for the B6 bus that ran once an hour. BTW the dispatcher that turned us was written up and transferred after we told some people what happened to us. I remember that when I first started posting here some of my mentors would check out the postings and call me about “ my little Lionels “ and some posts that they saw. Back then we had more active RTO people on the board and I was told that it was our job to explain the workings of our department. I’m still trying. The Surface boards have more active employees responding it seems. I was told that many people don’t realize that just because there are tracks in the system many are unused for a reason. Just my take. Carry on. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
