Concourse Express Posted October 29, 2012 Share #126 Posted October 29, 2012 This is bad. With MTA services shut down for a while, we're gonna take a huge economic hit after Sandy's done wreaking her havoc... :-( More importantly though, I share Princelex's sentiments - stay safe!

6 Lexington Ave Posted October 29, 2012 Share #127 Posted October 29, 2012 According to the TA, the subway might not open up for another four days, and it's rumored (based off last time's events), that the won't open until next week.

Via Garibaldi 8 Posted October 30, 2012 Share #135 Posted October 30, 2012 Lower Manhattan i.e. Stuyvesant Town is flooding badly so I would imagine that some parts of subway Downtown is flooding too.

RtrainBlues Posted October 30, 2012 Share #147 Posted October 30, 2012 I'm not sure why there is an "all or nothing" thought with regard to the subways. If, let's say, the only train that can run on Wednesday is the F train from Church Ave to Rockefeller Center, then just run that train. And all others can stay down until they are ready.

Wallyhorse Posted October 30, 2012 Share #148 Posted October 30, 2012 Has anyone even been able to get on Facebook? It's been down for quite a while (ironically enough). Anyway, it's clearly obvious the did the right thing here. Service would have been suspended anyway due to flooding and now power problems, and it would have been much worse, especially now that power is out in lower Manhattan and elsewhere thanks to a Con Ed explosion at 14th and the FDR Drive.

FamousNYLover Posted October 30, 2012 Share #150 Posted October 30, 2012 I found another photos pre-Hurricane Sandy The MTA has posted several pictures to Flickr showing subway stations and Grand Central totally abandoned ahead of Hurricane Sandy. MTA The New York City Subway system suspended service starting at 7 p.m. on October 28, 2012, in advance of Hurricane Sandy. This photo shows Times Square, normally the busiest station in the system. The previous systemwide suspension of service took place in August 2011 for Tropical Storm Irene. MTA MTA Grand Central Terminal closed early on October 28, 2012 in advance of Hurricane Sandy. This photo shows the largely empty Terminal after the last trains had departed. Metro-North Railroad took the opportunity to scrub the floors of the lower level dining concourse. MTA The last train to leave Grand Central Terminal on October 28, 2012, left from Track 18 at 7:10 p.m. It was a Stamford local. MTA Grand Central Terminal closed early on October 28, 2012 in advance of Hurricane Sandy. This photo shows the largely empty Terminal after the last trains had departed. MTA Grand Central Terminal closed early on October 28, 2012 in advance of Hurricane Sandy. This photo shows the largely empty Terminal after the last trains had departed.
