itmaybeokay Posted January 25, 2013 Share #677 Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) I was there a few hours ago and it was a stalled train on the Manhattan bound express track. Curious choice to refer to it as a "Rail Condition" then. Also, not to be argumentative about it, but I feel like if it were simply a stalled train they'd have towed/otherwise gotten it out of there by now. Edit: looking at the chain of archived email alerts the story goes down something like this: 2:45 PM: s/b E & F trains via local from 71 Av to Roosevelt Av, due to a train with mechanical problem at Roosevelt Av. 3:59 PM: UPDATED - s/b, E & F trains via local from 71 Av to Roosevelt Av, due to a train with mechanical problem at Roosevelt Av. 4:23 PM: UPDATED - b/d, E, F, M and R trains are rerouted and delayed, due to a rail condition at the Roosevelt Av Station. Details atwww.mta.info of course the details revealed the convoluted shenanigans detailed above. It's curious that it IMPLIES the M is going to chambers, but it really isn't clear about it. Well it isn't clear about anything. In any event, I feel like this must be something fairly serious to divert trains on such a busy trunk for 3 hours at this point. I'd love to hear the whole story.

Today after visiting MoMa I usually take the E/M to Court Square where I transfer to and when the E came it was totally packed and I noticed on the screen where they show the time about what is going on. I saw that the M is not running to Queens so that explained the packed E train I did not get in because no space at all. I walked all the way to Lex Ave/59th st got the noticed people were waiting for the seemed that they didn't know what was going on. It was a mess really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowblock Posted January 26, 2013 Share #679 Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) LIRR is cross honoring tonight. Enjoy. Oh, and nobody mentioned the obvious yet, but this is yet ANOTHER appearance of the brown to Chambers!

Amtrak7 Posted January 26, 2013 Share #680 Posted January 26, 2013 And the worst time for LIRR to cross honor as the eastbound KO rocket broke down in Kew Gardens. Trains behind it were backed up and incurred hour-long delays, the incident train itself is being evacuated right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itmaybeokay Posted January 26, 2013 Share #681 Posted January 26, 2013 Still borked. Does anyone have any details as to what the incident actually is at roosevelt? I feel like, for it to take this long, and to turn from "Mechanical Problems" to "Rail Condition" it has to be at least a minor derailment? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted January 26, 2013 Share #682 Posted January 26, 2013 I passed the incident today, it seems the rail is broken is a switch and a chunk of the rail looks like its missing. There was a bunch of trackworkers working on it, boy it was a mess. Got a few s to 57 St, one was signed up as to Canal St. I also heard that a got sent to Forest Hills in this mess... now thats something to foam over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the trackworkers can get it finished before the train GO begins because lots of people rely on the and the . I agree it was a mess today. When the arrived at 5th ave/53rd st at first it said Queens Blvd Exp then the sign flipped to Queens Blvd Lcl. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must have taken the wrong line-up @ Rockefeller Center... Also, with the N/B terminating at 57th Street/7th Avenue, I wonder where they are going to lay-up all of those R46s, since they usually get laid-up in the Jamaica Yard, considering they do not need as many of them tomorrow?

It possible that after the crews finally fix the rail/switch whatever that the problem is. The trains would go not in service heading to the yard late night on the express tracks possiblity 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowblock Posted January 26, 2013 Share #689 Posted January 26, 2013 Yeah there's a rail on the express track at Roosevelt Ave that keeps breaking...... that was NOT a wrong line up, it was rerouted purposely. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itmaybeokay Posted January 26, 2013 Share #690 Posted January 26, 2013 Wasn't there an (F)/(G) GO on the culver viaduct this weekend? It's showing normal service now, I wonder if they cancelled it because of this situation (now resolved) or because of weather 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lance Posted January 26, 2013 Share #691 Posted January 26, 2013 Nope, not this weekend. Next weekend, Stillwell Av-bound F trains will run express between Jay St and Church Av. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel The Cool Posted January 27, 2013 Share #692 Posted January 27, 2013 Nope, not this weekend. Next weekend, Stillwell Av-bound F trains will run express between Jay St and Church Av. There was another one originally for this weekend with Northbound And Express From Church Avenue to Carroll Street.

RestrictOnTheHanger Posted January 27, 2013 Share #693 Posted January 27, 2013 Service Change Posted: 01/27/2013 11:50AM Due to police investigation at 4 Avenue-9 Street Station, there are no trains running between Whitehall Street-South Ferry Station and Bay Ridge-95 Street Station.

Southbound and trains are running on the line from DeKalb Avenue Station to Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue Station. Please allow additional travel time. If the trains are running Brighton express, I can expect the extra travel time to be from people crowding around the middle asking too many stupid questions. Excuse me, is this train going to Brighton Beach? Edited January 27, 2013 by CenSin 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted January 27, 2013 Share #697 Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Why do you think and trains are running on the Brighton line? For your info, they only wrote that the is suspended between 95 and Whitehall. So I wonder why they didn't do what I mention above. And why do you think delays can happen on the between DeKalb and Prospect Park? Edited January 27, 2013 by RollOverMyHead 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm............my point was that there was a police investigation at 4 Avenue-9 Street on the BMT Fourth Avenue Line which was why I wonder how come they didn't short the at 36 or run it express after Atlantic-Barclays instead of completely suspending it entirely in Brooklyn and rerouting the Coney Island-bound and services to the Brighton Line from DeKalb to Stillwell Avenues.

Presumably because both southbound tracks were out of service for the investigation. Power was probably cut to both tracks. http://parkslope.patch.com/articles/man-in-critical-condition-after-jumping-in-front-of-4th-ave-r-train 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
