darkstar8983 Posted October 23, 2023 Share #8028 Posted October 23, 2023 what happened this morning with the train was UNACCEPTABLE! people have to get to work, and running one train every 10 minutes and only to Queensboro Plaza does not cut it. And this is not the first time that GOs wrap up late for the Monday AM Rush. This should be a sign to GO planners to start them earlier, or not stack too much work so that the work has to run late. With Queens Blvd the way it is right now with only the running along the corridor, the really cannot afford any screwups . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything was a mess, especially with the express service being cut off from Queensboro to 61 street, which could’ve been used to run trains back on the express track to flushing, and turning around at willets point to run more trains, and avoiding congestion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielhg121 Posted October 23, 2023 Share #8030 Posted October 23, 2023 Yea, I was in for a rude awakening when I swiped went downstairs. Saw that trains were only going to Qboro Plz, made a U-turn and went for the LIRR. Headed to Grand Central anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyclonicTrainLookout Posted October 24, 2023 Share #8033 Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) A Broad St-bound train became disabled on the Archer Avenue ramp. Service was suspended between Jamaica Ctr and 111 St. A rescue train is apparently being sent to evacuate the passengers or so I heard. Emergency vehicles and helicopters are rushing to the area right now. Part Suspended There is no train service between 111 St and Jamaica Center-Parsons/Archer. What's Happening? We're investigating a mechanical problem on a train near Sutphin Blvd-Archer Av-JFK Airport. The last stop on Jamaica-bound trains is Broadway Junction, Crescent St, or 111 St. Listen to announcements to hear how your train will operate. Expect delays in both directions. Alternatives: LIRR is cross-honoring MetroCard holders and OMNY users between Penn Station, Grand Central Madison, Atlantic Terminal and Jamaica. For alternative service between Manhattan and Brooklyn, consider nearby trains. For service along Jamaica Ave to Jamaica Center-Parsons/Archer, take a Q24 or Q56 bus. For service to the AirTrain to JFK Airport, take an or train. Transfer to an train at Fulton St or Broadway Junction. Transfer at Delancey St-Essex St to an train for connections to service in Queens. Posted: 10/24/2023 03:58 PM UPDATE: It seems it was reported that the train - or I think one of the cars - started to smoke. The link here has a video where it can be seen passengers going into the rescue train from the front of the broken down train: https://abc7ny.com/queens-disabled-train-subway-j/13965462/ Edited October 24, 2023 by CyclonicTrainLookout 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the MTA had sent a rescue train to evacuate passengers on that train, I don't think it was a usual "mechanical breakdown". The link to the news page I posted above stated there was some smoky conditions on that train, but I'm not sure if it's confirmed. EDIT: service is now suspended between Crescent St and Jamaica Ctr. The third rail was probably shut down. Edited October 24, 2023 by CyclonicTrainLookout 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted October 27, 2023 Share #8039 Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) Lots of stuff going on. The incident has been going on for a good chunk of the PM rush and is still ongoing.

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted November 3, 2023 Share #8041 Posted November 3, 2023 There's an train reading on the countdown clocks along 2nd Avenue right now, apparently some train is going down to Metropolitan Avenue. Has to be some glitch or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulturious Posted December 1, 2023 Share #8043 Posted December 1, 2023 Trains Rerouted trains are severely disrupted in both directions while we address a mechanical problem on a train near Ditmas Av. There is no northbound service from Kings Hwy to Church Av. Most trains are running on the line from Coney Island-Stillwell Av to Broadway-Lafayette St. The last stop on some southbound trains will be 2 Av, where they will turn for northbound service. Some northbound trains are running on the line from Jay St-MetroTech to W 4 St-Wash Sq. Listen to announcements to hear how your train will operate.

Isn't there a switch going from the local track to middle track Manthattan bound at Ave X? Unless the track maps on nycsubway.org is wrong. If they went express at Ave X at least it would be more convenient for riders vs sending most N/B trains via the line.
