NYCRailfan523 Posted December 5, 2012 Share #1278 Posted December 5, 2012 @NYGovCuomo: "The South Ferry station, which had been a large fish tank, has now been pumped dry." @MTAInsider Unforeseen problems w/electrical svc and unexpected track work at the W.4 St have slowed the timetable for subway restorations. ... And I'm now waiting for the rest of South Ferry station to be fixed. W. 4th St. still needs fixing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted December 5, 2012 Share #1279 Posted December 5, 2012 http://mta.info/nyct/service/RebuildingRockawaysAfterHurricanSandy.htm Some of the before-after pictures, as well as the statistics, are astounding. I feel that trackage to the Rockaways might be restored by the end of the year, but the complete signal rebuild will take a long time. Could they operate it without signals? I think they did that during the chambers St fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortline Bus Posted December 5, 2012 Share #1280 Posted December 5, 2012 Could they operate it without signals? I think they did that during the chambers St fire. Biggest issue is the bridge connecting the Queens mainland and the Rockaways near Broad Channel was destroyed by the storm. That why it will be around next Spring at the earliest, the Rockaways-Manhattan full line will reopen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Concourse Posted December 6, 2012 Share #1291 Posted December 6, 2012 I wonder how service on the has been (since it's shortened to HB)? Also I wonder: if they get service from the Rockaways to Broad channel, would they do a round robin or have two separate shuttle services? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I wonder: if they get service from the Rockaways to Broad channel, would they do a round robin or have two separate shuttle services? it still sucks, but what i was thinking ( i spoke to Track workers on the bus, they were telling me that work is getting done out there) I would say about 6 months, if it does takes up to a year then this summer is gonna be a nightmare (Beach goers If the beaches are open by then) then they will have to add more trains and buses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted December 6, 2012 Share #1293 Posted December 6, 2012 Due to the massive damage, new reports from the MTA say a full restoration on the my not happen for up to 12 months. What! 12 months? Did I read that correctly? Gotta be because of the severe damage to that bridge, if not total destruction to it prompting a complete rebuild from almost scratch, I'm guessing. (Another poster here mentioned that the MTA and the National Guard is withholding some of the pics depicting the destruction of that bridge as far as I know as of now. For a reason...)

It would not surprise me one bit if it takes until early 2014 until full service is restored on the Rockaway Branch. The damage there was incredible. The LIRR may have to do something this summer to accommodate people who normally use the to get to the beach out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The damage there was incredible. The LIRR may have to do something this summer to accommodate people who normally use the to get to the beach out there. If the MTA quoted a 12 month time before full service through the Rockaways, then yeah might as well add a few months to that for unforseen problems in the repair process (unless they have already took in consideration the possible delays that could occur in their 12 month repair completion and operation date estimate.) I doubt the LIRR will do anything about the upcoming summer traffic of ppl to the beach. Isnt the boardwalk washed out and copmpletely destroyed anyway? That in itself is a long term project. The MTA already did what they could do to restore some temporary service to the Rockaway. All they need to do is get more busses on the road and get Rockaway Park end service back in order. That should be sufficient until full Rockway service has been completely restored to the Fulton Street Line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted December 7, 2012 Share #1296 Posted December 7, 2012 Due to the massive damage, new reports from the MTA say a full restoration on the my not happen for up to 12 months. Which is worse, the bridges or the Flats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted December 7, 2012 Share #1297 Posted December 7, 2012 what I think they would do when atleast 1 or 2 tracks on the flats are ready, is extend the to Rockaway Blvd (simular to the in two sections GO but the 's would still turn around at howard beach) and run a shuttle train every 20 minutes between Rockaway Blvd and the Rockaways Rush Hours Only with the shuttle Buses until they fully restore it back to normal, THATS IF they can run trains over the flats, have trains run on one track between Howard Beach and Broad Channel, just have the full length, THAT IF they would do that, But to me they should take their time The bridges look okay, but if this takes a year then the bridges might get replaced, because it would take a full years work to replace the bridges esp the south channel bridge, The Flats they have already put down new rocks and are redoing the landfull so it would atleast take 4-6 months for that or less if they get the job done quicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
