Eric B Posted December 24, 2012 Share #30 Posted December 24, 2012 It's great to see and hear about all the work they're doing. Great public involment! Slightly OT, but the latest update on the Rebuilding the Rockaways page calls the Rockaways a "barrier island". Guess it comes from living there that saying that gets under my skin because the Rockaways are on a PENINSULA! Actually, it IS considered a "barrier island": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Barrier_Islands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaw3c1 Posted December 24, 2012 Share #31 Posted December 24, 2012 My main question is how did the R46s get there. It was my understanding that they got all equipment out of the Rockaways before the storm. Also when could service to Beach-116 start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmallParkShuttle Posted December 24, 2012 Share #32 Posted December 24, 2012 Actually, it IS considered a "barrier island": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Barrier_Islands The article you linked does not include rockaway on the list of islands. The closest thing I found was Rockaway being referred to as a "barrier spit" - http://www.seagrant.sunysb.edu/cprocesses/pdfs/LIDynamicSouthShore.pdf (sorry link is being copied from mobile so may not be hyperlinked). My position stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmallParkShuttle Posted December 24, 2012 Share #34 Posted December 24, 2012 It calls it "Rockway Beach" (Second paragraph). Rockaway Beach is listed as the west boundary (the NYC/Nassau border) just like Shinnecock Bay is listed as the east one. This has been beat into my head during the 3rd grade geography lessons at PS 42 (on the peninsula). Totally OT now, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lance Posted December 25, 2012 Share #35 Posted December 25, 2012 My main question is how did the R46s get there. It was my understanding that they got all equipment out of the Rockaways before the storm. Also when could service to Beach-116 start. 1) The 46s were towed by diesel cars across the flats. One track from the mainland to the peninsula has been restored to facilitate the car move. Said track still has no power to the third rail or signals, so no, they can't resume any type of normal service yet 2) Service to Rockaway Park will resume when the Rockaway Park tower gets its power back on.

R42N Posted December 28, 2012 Share #36 Posted December 28, 2012 Maybe when they do restore service, they should keep the H instead of the S and maybe extend it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgood6195 Posted December 28, 2012 Share #37 Posted December 28, 2012 They should keep the in my opinion. There is already an along Franklin ave and 42th street. The should just rename the one on Franklin ave the and have the IRT keep the , so they don't confuse people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far Rock Depot Posted December 28, 2012 Share #39 Posted December 28, 2012 theres really no confusion. franklin, rock park and 42nd. And besides, this way, each "division" (IRT, IND, BMT) has its only shuttle. The confusion would be turning the Rock Park back to the H and the Franklin to the W. The MTA eliminated the H for a reason. Shuttles are more commonly known as S. Lets not turn this into another bullet renaming thread shall we please?

RollOver Posted December 28, 2012 Share #41 Posted December 28, 2012 +1 for the #39 post. That said, back to topic. So sorry for the Rockaways getting hit hard. Sometimes, I even keep having dreams at night about me heading to school and an R46 pulls in with the LCD signs reading "TO FAR ROCKAWAY". Then I wake up and its just some crazy dream of the past. Hope to seeing the IND Rockaway Line's entire restoration as well as the and routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far Rock Depot Posted December 28, 2012 Share #42 Posted December 28, 2012 well, since ive moved upsate, i probably wont be around for the reopening of the line. i was hoping to be on that first train across the bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted December 28, 2012 Share #43 Posted December 28, 2012 Make the Rockaway Park one the and the rest keep the same (technically the grand central shittle is called the 0 train) no, the designation is 8 since the 3rd av el was torn down decades ago. Maybe when they do restore service, they should keep the H instead of the S and maybe extend it? extend it where? Howard beach? I mean technically it'd be a major plus over broad channel, but its not like the shuttle is ever crowded enough (excluding the summer) to warrant an extension.
