Also, maybe it's just me, but it seems very rare that anyone refers to the between Marcy Av and Broadway Junction as a BMT Broadway Line.

When we said Broadway we meant the elevated line running from Bridge Plaza to Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn. When I moved to Flatbush the folks I knew never called Brighton, Sea Beach, West End, or 4th Avenue trains Broadway trains when they entered Manhattan. I think my generation picked up the names from our elders. For example my older family members never referred to the or it’s local counterparts as the IND Fulton St. line. It was always called the 8th Avenue subway. The reason why was simple if you think about it. The BMT Fulton el ran in their neighborhood before the subway was constructed. Same applies to the BMT Lexington Avenue el. I guess it’s just a neighborhood and generation thing. Look at this post and notice how how I refer to the BMT Southern division lines. Those lines were known by names and/or numbers in my youth. Same applies to the BMT Eastern division. My younger years were #14, #15, and #16 trains before I moved to Flatbush ( Lefferts Garden ) and the Brighton was #1 and #7 before the BMT went to lettered lines. Just my recollections. BTW the BMT Broadway Short line, #14, never ran on Broadway in Manhattan. Carry on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abba Posted February 23, 2020 Share #6909 Posted February 23, 2020 It’s probably the same train. They just moved it to get service running again on the and lines. I’ve noticed less of these work train incidents by the way. Or at least less time that service is affected 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue is with the middle part of the switch at 34th St, so in order to minimize disruption they're just running the express from 57th St. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R68OnBroadway Posted February 25, 2020 Share #6914 Posted February 25, 2020 Was anyone riding Broadway around the time of the broken rail today? Did service operate any bit smoother with a merge at 57 vs 34. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted February 25, 2020 Share #6915 Posted February 25, 2020 It’s probably right on the switch. a train went BIE before but then they said it was 34th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted February 28, 2020 Share #6916 Posted February 28, 2020 Express to Local Posted: 02/28/2020 2:17PM Southbound and trains are running on the local track from 125 St to 42 St-Grand Central while NYPD and FDNY respond to someone fatally struck by a train near 68 St. Some southbound trains are running on the line from 149 St-Grand Concourse to Nevins St. Southbound and trains will arrive on upper level at 86 St and 59 St. Delays Posted: 02/28/2020 2:20PM Expect longer waits for trains as we send and trains on the local track while FDNY and FDNY respond to someone fatally struck by a train on the express track near 68 St. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted February 28, 2020 Share #6917 Posted February 28, 2020 Wow I wonder If everyone is still on the train. Or did they bring rescue train back to 86th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted February 29, 2020 Share #6918 Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) Trains Rerouted Posted: 02/29/2020 12:47AM Coney Island-bound trains are running on the line from West 4 St-Washington Square to Coney Island-Stillwell Av because of a work train experiencing a mechanical problem on the Manhattan Bridge. For bypassed stations, take a Bronx-bound train. BTW, this is a lie, and they're running trains down 8th Ave and into Brooklyn. There's a GO making SB and trains run express from Smith-9th Streets to Church Ave, bypassing 4 Ave-9th Street. Go figure.

If you're going by what SubwayTime was saying then take it with a grain of salt. For some reason everytime there's an incident causing the Trains to run via Culver, SubwayTime for whatever reason always has it programmed to run via 8th Avenue when it actually doesn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted March 4, 2020 Share #6922 Posted March 4, 2020 Anyone saw the advisory today. It said trains are running on the line from Broadway Junction to Chambers st. Anyone was there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence St Posted March 4, 2020 Share #6923 Posted March 4, 2020 This happened earlier; PART SUSPENDED There are multiple delays and service changes on the line in both directions due to a water main break at Bedford Av. There is no service in both directions between 1st Av & Myrtle Av. trains will board at the Canarsie-bound platform at 1st Av & 3rd Av. Some 8th Av-bound trains will operate over the line making express stops from Broadway Junction and end at Chambers St. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
