Right now there's  and  trains going along 8th Avenue going wherever they're going (whether uptown or Downtown). 

Only 1  and  Train went down via 8th Avenue during that mess. That  Train went all the way to Euclid and the  Train went via 8th Avenue to World Trade Center and went back Uptown via 8th Avenue all the way to Bedford Park Blvd. It all had to do with a signal problem between West 4th Street and Broadway Lafayette Street on the southbound tracks.

 

Interesting though is that the Southbound  Trains ended at five different locations during the whole mess before it was suspended entirely. Two went via West End  to Bay Parkway, one turned at Prospect Park, then 2nd Avenue obviously, the one that went to World Trade Center and one turned at 34th Street-Herald Square due to the Broadway-Lafayette Street incident.

Gotta admire how resilient the Queens Boulevard Line is with all these redundant East River tunnel crossings. I don’t think there’s much that could knock out the trunk.

• Crosstown Line down? Nothing happens to Queens Boulevard.
• 53 Street Tunnel down? via 63 Street, some via Crosstown Line, and to Whitehall Street via 59 Street if necessary.
• 59 Street Tunnel down? via 63 Street.
• 63 Street Tunnel down? via 63 Street, and some via Crosstown Line.

When I look at what we’re building nowadays… one incident and the whole line is out-of-order. Go get a bus.

The last time the QBL was knock out like that (suspensions) was in January. Now, the context of that situation was that a broken rail occurred at Steinway, and the express tracks were out of service. The Q32 and  trains were basically putting in that work, because if I'm not mistaken, the  was not running into Manhattan that weekend as well which made matters a lot worse. But yes, thankfully those are only a very small minority of instances. 

Also, on the weekends when the  ran via Broadway, if something happened on 63rd Street, trains were simply rerouted via 60th Street. Same thing when other trunks are also affected.

While I favor streamlining the system to avoid conflicting train movements, which would mean no longer having regular QBL service on the 60th street tunnel, I can certainly appreciate the redundancy that is built into the system for emergency reroutes.

Stay tuned?

I feel like this reroute and service suspension happens at least twice a week :

 

 service is temporarily suspended in both directions between 96 St and Harlem-148 St /149 St-Grand Concourse because someone was struck by a train at 116 St.

trains will operate via the  line in both directions between Nevins St and 149 St-Grand Concourse.

 train departures from Harlem-148 St are suspended. Limited  service will operate between New Lots Av and 137 St-City College on the  line.

Expect delays on the  line and  line while they share their tracks with re-routed  trains.

ABC7 and Reddit are reporting that objects were thrown onto the tracks causing the train to derail.  Possibly steel pipes.

3 minor injuries. Now if items were thrown onto the tracks, could that be treated as a terrorist incident?

Someone clamped a plank onto the tracks, and was arrested for it. Such should be prosecuted as an act of terrorism.

Yikes, I don't know why people just think it's a good idea to destroy trains and ruin everyone else's travelling. 8th Av no trains running because of the derailment, 6th Av because of Track Maintenance, well the  is running, but it's going to get crowded real quick,  trains had to be rerouted via the . I think the list goes further than that, but that is just off the top of my head.

One thing I've noticed about you is that you tend to push for extremes over things that (probably) don't remotely justify such.

I honestly doubt that politics played any role in this, and as such, I would only support prosecution that grave if a political motive can be credibly established.
