CDTA Posted June 22, 2012 Share #1 Posted June 22, 2012 I was wondering if any trains that are listed in the City Terminal Zone schedule are shuttles that only go to/from Jamaica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilbluefoxie Posted June 22, 2012 Share #5 Posted June 22, 2012 Sunny do these show up on the City Terminal Zone schedule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NX Express Posted June 22, 2012 Share #6 Posted June 22, 2012 Just curious - who are the intended customers of these shuttles? And how much use do they get? And why do some trains end at Jamaica (from the west)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted June 22, 2012 Share #7 Posted June 22, 2012 Just curious - who are the intended customers of these shuttles? And how much use do they get? And why do some trains end at Jamaica (from the west)? Most trains from diesel territory end at Jamaica, with the exception of a select few during rush hours that run to and from Penn using 2 DMs on each end of the train.

Amtrak7 Posted June 22, 2012 Share #8 Posted June 22, 2012 Sunny do these show up on the City Terminal Zone schedule? Yes they show up on the CTZ schedule. For the sake of convenience I just pulled the list above from the ridership book. Their intended customer base is for those transferring at Jamaica.

Snowblock Posted June 23, 2012 Share #10 Posted June 23, 2012 Those Cityzone trains are layups into Jamaica yard tracks, and make connections with other trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nostalgia Posted June 24, 2012 Share #12 Posted June 24, 2012 Just curious - who are the intended customers of these shuttles? And how much use do they get? And why do some trains end at Jamaica (from the west)? The trains that terminate at Jamaica usually come from non electrified territory and they are scheduled with electrified trains going to Penn Station or Flatbush Avenue. (I'm older than 40 so I can use the terminal's old name.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted June 24, 2012 Share #13 Posted June 24, 2012 There is one case of electrics terminating at Jamaica from the east—late night Brooklyn trains to/from Hempstead, Far Rockaway, Long Beach, and Huntiington that were cut back in September 2010.
