Pelham Parkway (5)

 

 

Incorrect.

 

Woodside-61 St (7)<7>?

 

(if so, I pass.)

 

 

Right you are. On 61 Street (7) and <7> the trains run over the LIRR and the next stop after 61 Street is 69 Street, near the BQE.

A couple of answers here...

 

2nd Av as CDTA said... former (V) terminal, (C) terminate there sometimes during GO and the (E) during FASTRACK... and 21st Queensbridge former (B) terminal, and the (Q) goes there during FASTRACK.

 

 

That is former (B)(Q) and ( Q ) terminal for 21 St.

 

But yeah the answer is probably 2 Av, I was thinking former (V) terminal and (E) during GOs.

Here’s one:

 

While I only have an average amount of ridership, I’m home to one of the few transfers in the system between an open cut line and an elevated line. Recently, my transfer was closed for renovation.

 

 

 

I'm guessing... Court Square-23 Street (7)(E)(G)(M) ?

The answer was 62nd-New Utrecht Avenue (D)(N) station. Court Square-23 Street is not open cut, it is an underground station. Opencut lines are technically underground too but with exposure to the weather. Examples: IRT Dyre Avenue Line (5), BMT Sea Beach Line (N) and the BMT Brighton Line (B)(Q) north of Kings Highway to Prospect Park I think. My guess is that you probably didn't see the answer so there.

BMT Brighton Line north of Avenue H (not Kings Highway) to Prospect Park. ;)

This is fun.... here's one:

 

Van Siclen on the C train wasn't the only station of its name. Where was the other?

 

 

From up to down

 

Van Siclen (J)(Z)

Van Siclen (A)(C) the station that was in your question.

Van Siclen (2)(3)(4)(5)

This station has these features

 

1, A different line runs next to the station.

2, One of the stations platform is big enough to platform an 8 car M7.

3, This station is one of the local stations where trains enter 35mph or 40mph.

Can you guess which station has these features?

Actually your answer is correct, but the question was worded wrong. Sorry about that!

 

Here's what I should've asked:

 

I'm a station that was named Van Siclen, but I'm nowhere near Van Siclen. What is my name now and why did I originally have the former name.

Are you referring to Neptune Av (F)?
