CenSin Posted November 7, 2012 Share #701 Posted November 7, 2012 I'm guessing this 59 Street terminal is causing N and D trains to back up. I have an audio recording of a very angry passenger cursing at the conductors at 36 Street… It's quite funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted November 7, 2012 Share #702 Posted November 7, 2012 Smh... I guess you haven't looked at the track layout of the . After the double crossover at Bway Junction, the next set of switches is for the pocket track at Myrtle-Wyckoff. But here's the kicker. The switches aren't facing towards Manhattan, so if you was to send trains from Canarsie to Myrtle-Wyckoff, you would have to do the following... 1. Fumigate the train on the Manhattan-bound platform 2. Reverse the train and relay it into the pocket track 3. Bring the train from the pocket to the Canarsie platform 4. Switch directions again and run it to Canarsie Its too much problems than what its worth They do it that way in G.O.s And they did a relay move like that at Marcy where they didn't have to. I believe the whole line is CBTC. I don't think the winds would pose too much of a problem with it, the immersion in salt water for several days, however.... IF the problem is CBTC, then the ENY-Canarsie stretch still has the conventional signals as well, since non-CBTC trains use the yard (both storage and the car wash). I still wonder how these cars being brought to the isolated Rockaway peninsula will be serviced when there's no maintenance facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GojiMet86 Posted November 7, 2012 Share #704 Posted November 7, 2012 Why the J is not running to Broad Street yet? I think it's the same reason the isn't running downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDNYSquad6 Posted November 7, 2012 Share #705 Posted November 7, 2012 Does anyone know when the F will be going to Stillwell ave, and what the hold up is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacemak3r Posted November 7, 2012 Share #706 Posted November 7, 2012 Does anyone know when the F will be going to Stillwell ave, and what the hold up is? All trains as far as I know aren't going to Coney Island. Coney has been hit pretty bad, so it could be numerous reasons why they haven't opened it again.

checkmatechamp13 Posted November 7, 2012 Share #713 Posted November 7, 2012 How do B trains reverse at Kings Highway? http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/caption.pl?/img/trackmap/pm_southeast_3.png I assume they come in on the southbound express, discharge, then continue down past the switch, reverse ends, and then come back up on the northbound express.

-CT1660- Posted November 7, 2012 Share #716 Posted November 7, 2012 I was actually expecting something like this to make up for the lack of G & L service. Hopefully that should do the trick for now until they get the G and L back up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallyhorse Posted November 7, 2012 Share #717 Posted November 7, 2012 2 miles is not a crazy walking distance..assuming you are young as well, you'll live. I try to do that kind of a walk whenever possible. Good exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dj Hammers Posted November 7, 2012 Share #718 Posted November 7, 2012 I still wonder how these cars being brought to the isolated Rockaway peninsula will be serviced when there's no maintenance facility. Even though the railfan side of me is loving the Rockaway shuttle service they are going to implement, it seems like it will be an operations nightmare.

Eric B Posted November 7, 2012 Share #723 Posted November 7, 2012 I was wondering if it would keep running, when it ran all through the weekend (and that it usually runs when there is no to Manhattan), but didn't hear anything about it. I did figure that maybe that was why they they made the Parsons-34th service instead of ( can be rerouted to 6th Ave. and that was done a lot); anticipating joining them together to fill in for the once the lower Manhattan section reopened. Maybe this will make people on both ends see the usefulness of 19/7 service, finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
