BM5 via Woodhaven Posted January 29, 2021 Share #7226 Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) Interesting how 39th Avenue is supposedly being used as a terminal. How does that work? The only way I see it is that trains are using the southbound track at Queensboro Plaza and terminating on the northbound track at 39th Avenue. MULTIPLE IMPACTS Posted: 01/29/2021 2:31PM and trains are delayed and/or rerouted because of a signal malfunction at Queensboro Plaza. Some northbound and trains are stopping along the line from 57 St-7 Av and will end at 96 St. Some northbound and trains will end at Times Sq-42 St or 39 Av-Dutch Kills. Expect significant delays in both directions. Edited January 29, 2021 by BM5 via Woodhaven 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect significant delays in both directions. Yeah that 39 Av terminal operation doesn’t sound practical, since you’d have to single track thru Queensboro Plaza anyways. Might as well have just kept the running in Astoria while single tracking at Queensboro Plaza (yes, some trains would be terminating at Times Sq-42 St) and all trains rerouted to 96 St 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxwell179 Posted February 3, 2021 Share #7238 Posted February 3, 2021 Part Suspended service is temporarily suspended between Queensboro Plaza and 74 St-Broadway while NYPD responds to several people on the tracks between 46 St-Bliss St and 52 St. For service between Queensboro Plaza and 74 St-Broadway, see a station agent and receive a courtesy pass for continuing service. Consider taking Q32, Q53-SBS, and Q60 bus service. For service between Queens and Manhattan, consider taking trains.

Trainmaster5 Posted February 19, 2021 Share #7244 Posted February 19, 2021 I have a question about last nights advisory about Queens service. There was a mention of issues at 46th St and a suspension of service between Queens and Manhattan . I don’t know what happened or when it cleared up but the site mentioned and service being suspended because of issues at Queensborough Plaza . I’m figuring that the site meant Queens Plaza but does anyone know what was going on in that area. Just curious. Carry on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, power was just lost near that area. - Southbound and trains are delayed in both directions in Queens while we investigate a temporary loss of third-rail power near 39 Av-Dutch Kills. Posted: 2/19/21 8:55 PM - *Edit* Power was restored there in the southbound direction (according to twitter). Southbound and trains are proceeding after our crews restored third-rail power near 39 Av-Dutch Kills. Continue to expect delays while our crews work to get trains back on schedule.

This is basically all the details I got about the whole mess. I see your perspective as a commuter or as a railfan (keep 'em moving) but as a dispatcher or an RTO crew member you have violated a basic premise that we were taught back in the ancient times, KISS. Depending on how long this went on ,and any G.O. in effect isolate the n/b service on the express track between Canal and 50th after being discharged. Same thing applies to the between West Fourth and 57-6th. and local on Eighth and and local on Sixth Avenue with the discharged trains stacked on the express tracks. to 57-7th or 96th with the with the to Essex or Chambers. This was called the KISS principle aka keep it simple, stupid, because rerouting trains to foreign terminals means losing the crew and the equipment when service returns to a normal operation. An crew at 168th St is useless to the dispatcher at Jamaica Center, especially if they were scheduled to make another trip from Jamaica to WTC or Delancey-Essex under the recent G.O. . The same would apply to the dispatcher at 179 st or the supervision at 71st Avenue on QB. Stacked trains give the supervision a chance whereas the alternative might leave them with a couple of arriving trains with finishing crews. Try sending them back out when you have nobody available because some genius sent your scheduled people elsewhere. Just another thing to consider. Carry on. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MTA said emergency brakes on a northbound 4 train were activated around 7 a.m. near the 28th Street station in Manhattan. Two hundred sixty-six riders were safely taken off the train, causing disruptions on the Lexington avenue line. According to the MTA, the train has since been removed, but there were residual delays. The Fire Department says debris on the subway tracks prevented the train from moving forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
