Well, service is resuming, although with all the trains out of place, it'll take quite some time before service shows some semblance of regular service:

SLOW SPEEDS  Posted: 07/19/2020  3:48PM

and  trains have resumed their regular routes with extensive delays in both directions while our crews continue working to correct a switch problem at 47-50 Sts - Rockefeller Ctr. 
During this time downtown trains are running at slower speeds in that area.

 

Thinking about this, if a  train was in the right place and there was a lot of congestion on 6th Avenue, there may have been a possibility where one train (or two), may have ended up on the 8th Avenue Line into upper Manhattan to avoid the mess north of West 4th Street when the switch problem first started.

They’re doing work along the  Line, my guess is that the work is happening between Lex-63rd and 57th Street, which is why they can’t sent  trains up there anyway.
 

If that weren’t the case, then there wouldn’t have been a reason to send the  to 6th Avenue in the first place...

Well thats incorrect, because it says "southbound trains are terminating at 42nd St".

So the work is most likely at DeKalb Av, and to not clog up the they just run it via the to 47th St.

If that was true,  trains would have just operated via the Montague Tunnel in both directions, and they would have not had trains go on 6th Avenue. There's been multiple weekends late last year where both  and  trains were running via the Montague Tunnel with the . It is very likely that work was being done in that area, and they've halted work. I don't remember which GO it was, but something occurred that required trains to use trains to go through an area where there was work being done. If I'm not mistaken, it was that very section (57th/7th to Lexington Avenue-63rd Street) that was used.

Except for the  over Manhattan Valley, but bypassing 125 Street. As for winds, JFK Airport was reporting hurricane-force gusts...which prompted this decision.

Also, because of a signal malfunction, the  isn't running south of Bedford-Nostrand.

Not doing it again because I still don't have power, and I want to preserve the battery on my phone. Also, I'm typing on my phone with uber-slow data.
