Guest Lance Posted November 7, 2012 Share #751 Posted November 7, 2012 Naturally, it wont just be Greenpoint to Court Sq that would shut down in any upcoming G.O.s. It'll most likely be the line north of Bedford-Nostrand that will be closed off at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realizm Posted November 7, 2012 Share #753 Posted November 7, 2012 Nice. train service is a very useful way for me to head into Brooklyn. I was anticipating another week or two before they get the Crosstown line going again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

checkmatechamp13 Posted November 8, 2012 Share #758 Posted November 8, 2012 YES! FINALLY! Screw the B38.... Hold up... LTD service? Does that mean a train every 20 minutes? Well, even if the trains are every 20 minutes, at least you won't be flagged by 7 buses if you take the B38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfs NJT459 Posted November 8, 2012 Share #760 Posted November 8, 2012 idk if anyone mentioned this but the Transit layer on Google Maps is back to normal, however, MTA's latest GTFS data has no A train trips to/from the Rockaways instead of putting out a GTFS-realtime alert on the affected stations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenSin Posted November 8, 2012 Share #761 Posted November 8, 2012 Apparently, they are pulling D trains from the West End express tracks. Instead of dropping the crew off at Coney Island yard, they drop them off between stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itmaybeokay Posted November 8, 2012 Share #767 Posted November 8, 2012 With eight 75 ft cars, do they have conductors? They only run OPTO on weekends normally anyway. Weekdays they still have a conductor and a TO anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Times Sq Station Flood? If the floodwaters from the storm surge got to 42nd street and 7th ave we'd have way, way bigger problems than subway shutdowns. Yes, obviously the hurricane brought rain as well but not particularly very much compared to the billions of gallons in storm surge that hit the immediate costal spots. I think the picture/video you're talking about is the Hoboken Path station, shown here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested Rider Posted November 9, 2012 Share #773 Posted November 9, 2012 I can just speculate on why the N is not running to Coney Island and I think it may have to do with the entrance to the two Coney Island yards. The D train enters the first yard from Coney Island with only one switch after the bridge on the northbound track. The entrance to the main yard is either before or after the Bay 50th Street Station when the line is elevated. The N line has one entrance to the first yard from the southbound track and an entrance to the main yard from the northbound track. It is here that there is a complex set of switches and signals that lead to the main yard, The second entrance is from the yard to where the N line becomes three tracks (later four) as it enters the 86th Street Station. All of these entrances to the yard are on ground level. The picture of the 86th Street Station with the water above the platformwas taken just north of the switching point. One should bear in mind that the water reached Avenue U and most likely beyond there to Kings Highway or above. I glanced through one of James Clifford Greller's great books "Brooklyn Trolley Cars from the BRT to the B&QT" and came across a picture that may help to explain what happened to the Coney Island yard and the sorrounding area. On page 57 there is a picture of a Gravesend Avenue Trolley Car crossing Coney Island Creek early in the last century. In looking at the map done by Alan Paul Kahn on page 319, Coney Island Creek extended all the way east to beyond Coney Island Avenue in 1904. This area has been filled in as the end of the creek is now Shell Road. It is quite possible that the storm surge came through the creek as well as Gravesend Bay and the Ocean and thus the high level of flooding.

peacemak3r Posted November 9, 2012 Share #774 Posted November 9, 2012 I hope you do realize that the water was pumped out not even a day or two after Sandy hit as confirmed by friends living right by the line. I'm sure the problem is not flooded areas but probably electrical and debris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted November 9, 2012 Share #775 Posted November 9, 2012 Are some trains terminating at different terminals? Like 96th st or 242 st? the Countdown clocks showed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
