NX Express Posted November 18, 2009 Share #102 Posted November 18, 2009 Try something a little easier: Manhattan Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down, Manhattan Bridge is falling down, and it breaks the Rutgers tube too. What is there to do?:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NX Express Posted November 21, 2009 Share #106 Posted November 21, 2009 I have one. FBI agents overhear a terrorist saying, "Bomb 42 St in Manhattan". They don't know where, so all service on/near 42 St. is affected. This includes: (S)42(V). I don't know what to do:confused::confused::confused::confused: Well, that is a doomsday scenario.

CenSin Posted November 21, 2009 Share #107 Posted November 21, 2009 Well, that is a doomsday scenario. That also highlights the fact that the is the only non-shuttle route to never touch Manhattan. I would bet that the Crosstown line would be very crowded in such a situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EE Broadway Local Posted November 25, 2009 Share #109 Posted November 25, 2009 Situation: Switch malfunction at Rogers Junction involving the switch that sends trains from eastbound Eastern Parkway to southbound Flatbush Avenue. Flatbush Avenue-Brooklyn College bound approaching Franklin Avenue; Flatbush Avenue-Brooklyn College bound approaching Eastern Parkway-Grand Army Plaza; Utica Avenue bound just departing Atlantic Avenue; New Lots Avenue bound at Bergen Street. Time: 3:30pm Tuesday afternoon Estimated Time Of Fix: 20 minutes (possibly slightly longer.) How would you handle this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NX Express Posted November 25, 2009 Share #110 Posted November 25, 2009 I would send the trains you mentioned somewhere, like the via the to Utica, the would be turned at Eastern Parkway. Then, I'd turn all (5)s at Atlantic and all (2)s at Eastern Parkway. East-bound (3)s would run express from Atlantic to Utica. To sum it all up, not that bad!

Trainmaster5 Posted November 29, 2009 Share #115 Posted November 29, 2009 s/b : normal servicen/b : trains north of Chambers dump passengers and lay up on n/b local track until incident is over. Trains south of Chambers follow the n/b pattern below runs via the both directions s/b : local 96th-42nd n/b and any (1)s south of chambers: express to 34th, switches to s/b express track b/t 34th and 42nd, wrong-rails to 96th, then switches back to n/b track using crossover b/t 96th and 110th You were OK until your n/b and proposal. No train can proceed n/b from the s/b exp track at Times Square because the signal system will not allow it under normal conditions. The desk superintendant, signals, and track departments would have to institute a major emergency G.O. and every interlocking area between Times Square and 96th would have to be blocked and clamped and monitored by on site personnel. I remember when a train derailed one Halloween at 96th St ( 1983 or 1984) and my train was re-routed to Van Cortlandt Park. The general consensus by supervision was rhat bus service would suffice until the problem was cleared becuse it would take too much time to institute an emergency G.O.. Now you don't even have supervisors experienced enough to do that. Add to that a derailment normally does not take that much time to clear up.

Send the approaching to Utica or New Lots Ave via Express Either terminate the approaching at Franklin and have it relay or send it to New Lots Ave or Utica Ave via Local departing Atlantic Ave would proceed along its normal route terminate at Franklin Service Plan during repairs Eastbound trains operate express to Utica & New Lots Aves respectively (trains would cross to over to the exp tracks east of Nevins St) Terminate at Atlantic Ave ( trains would terminate on Eastbound local track and reverse on to its proper manhattan bound express track after discharging) Terminate at Bowling Green (to reduce congestion at Atlantic Ave) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamaica Express Posted December 3, 2009 Share #119 Posted December 3, 2009 I got one. A train broke down when switching from local to exp @96 St. Both tracks are blocked. Shuttle service between Chambers and South Ferry with every other train continuing to Times Sq where it will terminate and head downtown via express. Some downtown trains will be diverted to local track North of 34th st to Chambers st, to make way for exp all service returns to their proper routes at Chambers St* runs local north of Chambers terminating at Times Sq 42nd St* Uptown run via Lexington Ave, have the turn at City Hall to avoid congestion in Joralemon Street Tunnel and double track portion of line south of bklyn bridge w/some trains trains operating local to keep traffic flowing smoothly on uptown exp track *I made the continue to 42nd because I realized it can relay and head downtown as a normal express to bklyn *I had some trains continue pass Chambers so the wouldn't become overwhelmed. *Being that the relay track at 42nd can only send trains to the exp track, returning would be forced to run exp to chambers st, in order to avoid congestion of downtown exp trains and trains would alternate in running local whenever there was a returning filling in its route. Shuttle Bus service from Times Sq to 103rd St(1) and from 103rd st to 110th st (although passengers at 42nd st would be strongly advised to transfer to uptown trains which will make nearby stops) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time: 3:30pm Tuesday afternoon Estimated Time Of Fix: 20 minutes (possibly slightly longer.) How would you handle this? I'll take a crack at this -Send the to New Lots or turn it at Eastern Parkway by switching it over to the Westbound track and relaying although relaying with a T/O only on one end takes time since he has to walk back towards the westbound end and I don't wanna clog up the Westbound normal service -Send the to New Lots ^They're far enough not to create too much congestion along Livonia Avenue -Send the to Utica or New Lots -Send the to Utica as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
