R62A 1991 Posted July 22, 2008 Share #3 Posted July 22, 2008 This is my service alert, here's the story. I work at the A.G.'s office in the Equitable Building, which means I get off at Wall St on the 4/5. Well, today, I was late (I was going to get there on time, but to me, that's late). I had to keep turning back, and I missed my 5 train from New Lots. Well, when I got to Utica on my 3 train, there was an R62 4 train across the platform. I'm thinking it was my lucky day. We speeded through the Eastern Pkwy EXP & the Joralemon tunnels. We get to Bowling Green, I'm listening to some good music, and we wait a minute. And, woosh!, smoke fills the entire platform. Everyone runs out the train, I follow them. I am not good with smoke, so my next instinct is to run before I start to feel faint. I do, but through everyone else who seems to be moving at a leisurely pace for some reason. It's like, I know I would have a problem moving at that pace, so I had to keep moving. I get out the station and make sure I'm ok by taking a breath in the park nearby. The fire trucks run down Broadway & I walk to the Equitable Building. I'm doing fine for now, though.

MattTrain Posted July 22, 2008 Share #4 Posted July 22, 2008 Due to signal problems at the 190th Street Station, there is no train service in both directions between the Inwood-207th Street Station and the 168th Street Station. Please expect delays in service on the a trains at this time. Inwood bound trains aren't going to Inwood after all. What a hectic day today. Must be a hot and smoky day.
