Dj Hammers Posted November 5, 2012 Share #652 Posted November 5, 2012 There's word that a couple pairs of R32s are being trucked to the Rockaways for Rock Park - Far Rock Shuttle Service.... I wonder how long it will be until this service will start? From what I hear, buses in the Rockaways are Jam-Packed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M31clinton Posted November 5, 2012 Share #653 Posted November 5, 2012 The is running Astoria to 59th Street in Brooklyn. What I don't get is---why not just run the to 95th Street and suspend service? (Only one stop would be affected - Jay Street-MetroTech.) As for the , I don't understand why it is not running. Why cut off one station and overcrowd the N if they dont have to? It's a busy station and many are transferring there from/to the A,C,F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read this on sub chat, it would make sense since the R32's are in pairs vs an R46 that is in ABBA order, they will send about 20 or 30 of em to there, i doubt an R32 is running on the , wouldn't make any sense because its using the R160's and might use some R68A's as well http://www.subchat.com/read.asp?Id=1183905 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the service begins sooner rather than later because it would make the trip from the Q35 to the rest of the area a lot faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted November 5, 2012 Share #656 Posted November 5, 2012 yeah, the R32's will mostlikely come from the pitkin yard since its closer, they did have R32's there layed up there as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threxx Posted November 5, 2012 Share #660 Posted November 5, 2012 Like you told me... Patience... Patience!! I understand that, but I feel this is just being done spitefully because they feel the has lower ridership than other lines in the system. the Newtown creek tube btwn 21 st and greenpoint got flooded, but of course the is gonna take their time, but they should be pumping the tubes out now, the is gonna take awhile since the CBTC equipment might have been damaged due to flooding Well then why not run service Greenpoint-Church Avenue?

Calvin Posted November 5, 2012 Share #662 Posted November 5, 2012 so far the is almost good just no service after kings hwy. seeing the trains layed on the express track meaning that they are going back to C.I yard once the power is back on and will resume.

itmaybeokay Posted November 5, 2012 Share #663 Posted November 5, 2012 The not running is a real drag - but I do unterstand the need to prioritize the Manhattan connecting tubes - last week we were talking about 3 hour lines for a shuttle bus so, yeah, probably for the best they restored them first. Of course one could have suggested restoring the first, and having everyone shuttle up from brooklyn onboard to transfer to a manhattan-bound train at Court Sq, which might seem like a great idea to anyone who has not tried to board a manhattan-bound train at court sqare at about 8:30am . In any event, I made this gif of the progress so far which might be relevant to all your interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threxx Posted November 5, 2012 Share #664 Posted November 5, 2012 Why not run the over the bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacemak3r Posted November 5, 2012 Share #665 Posted November 5, 2012 I believe it's to support the Jay Street station. Damn I got friends going a bit wacked without they running past 59th ST. Any news on the status of the Sea Beach? I've been told the water was pumped out very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted November 5, 2012 Share #666 Posted November 5, 2012 Why not run the over the bridge? They probably don't feel like dealing with the double switching where the crosses to the Brighton tracks and then has to cross to the Fourth Avenue local tracks.

checkmatechamp13 Posted November 6, 2012 Share #668 Posted November 6, 2012 Well, the LIRR mentioned that weekly/monthly passes were being extended until November 5th (which is today). See here Now we just have to see what they'll do about the weekly/monthly MetroCards. It might be somewhere on their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted November 6, 2012 Share #670 Posted November 6, 2012 Just curious: There's no talk of shutting the system down again for the storm on Wednesday/Thursday is there? The forecast isnt a lock yet but wind gusts of up to 60mph, heavy rain and/or wet snow are supposedly possible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted November 6, 2012 Share #671 Posted November 6, 2012 Also, is the not running because it suffered more flooding, or did all the CBTC equipment get completely fried with the water? I hope that is not the case. I wonder, because someone somewhere said something about then thinking it "impossible" to turn the trains at intermediate places. But that's not true, as there's both Lorimer (if the flooding doesn't reach there) and Myrtle if nothing else. (these are used frequently in G.O.s)If that's the case, it seems like because the people closer in don't have the Manhattan connection, so nothing can be done for them; so just screw everyone else on the line. (Like those of us who need to get to Bway Jct for the other lines). So I hope it is CBTC problems, and if so, that's what they should say. Also, if they're bringing cars to the Rockways (to run via the wye from Rock Park to Far Rock?) then it won't have any access to a full yard for servicing. (Rock Park is just layups). Unless they'll have to keep trucking them back and forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted November 6, 2012 Share #672 Posted November 6, 2012 Found a 68A running yesterday, figured I should post this here since it involves the hurricane recovery (though I don't get why it was a 68A only going to Atlantic-Pacific) and it's a quick video I just got to the platform in time to get: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowblock Posted November 6, 2012 Share #674 Posted November 6, 2012 We're not closing down the subway for this storm. Just gonna be doing Plan IV. Can't turn trains at Lorimer St, because the switch is north of the station, and the trains would not be able to clear it to change ends without going into the flood zone. You COULD turn trains at Myrtle Ave, but it would require a single pocket operation, so the TPH capacity would be cut. However, neither of these are possible if the CBTC on that line is still out of whack, which is what I've been hearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted November 6, 2012 Share #675 Posted November 6, 2012 I read this on sub chat, it would make sense since the R32's are in pairs vs an R46 that is in ABBA order, they will send about 20 or 30 of em to there, i doubt an R32 is running on the , wouldn't make any sense because its using the R160's and might use some R68A's as well http://www.subchat.c....asp?Id=1183905 But there are still R46 AA pairs, unless the MTA intends to send those down for the SIRT? Either way, I guess if anything happens on the Rockaways, the MTA wouldn't care about what happens to the R32s as opposed to some R46s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
