Eric B Posted May 27, 2013 Share #276 Posted May 27, 2013 Beginning Tuesday morning, all Howard Beach trips will continue LITE from JFK to (alternating) Far Rockaway and Rockaway Park. Revenue service is supposed to begin sometime on Thursday, assuming these test runs go well. What's the purpose of that? Not crew familiarization or something?

Snowblock Posted May 27, 2013 Share #277 Posted May 27, 2013 It's for testing the signal system with regular headways. And would you all STFU about this and garbage???? The is the train which runs from Far Rockaway to B90. The is the train which runs from Broad Channel to Rockaway Park. I would think that YOU of all people would be able to grasp the difference between these two different services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GojiMet86 Posted May 29, 2013 Share #286 Posted May 29, 2013 The test trains were running to Mott Avenue. I didn't see one heading to the other end. There were actually more test trains than shuttles, lol. The shuttles no longer show the . They've gone back to the , except one that had a blue .

Grand Concourse Posted May 30, 2013 Share #287 Posted May 30, 2013 Yeah, I didn't think they'd switch them all to S, but eh... to me I really wanted to ride the 'H' when the r32s were there. My main consolation was riding the wye. Yeah they had almost as many A trains as there were S trains running today. Would've been nice if they could've sent more A trains back north as I had to wait like 15 min for an A to show up in Manhattan. Also there were a few trains running on the Rock Park side.

GojiMet86 Posted May 30, 2013 Share #288 Posted May 30, 2013 A bit of conflicting information: From secondavenuesagas.com : As part of the relaunch of the A train tomorrow, the MTA will run a Nostalgia Train from Howard Beach to the peninsula. The R1s and R9s will depart at 10:30 a.m. with various agency officials and local dignitaries on board. There will be speeches at Rockaway Park-Beach 116th Street Station, and then regular A/S service begins anew. If you want to ride the H train, get thee to the Rockaways as tonight and tomorrow morning are your last chances. From #Rockaways: A nostalgia train will help inaugurate the return of A train service to the Rockaways. This vintage R1/R9 train will make a run from Rockaway Park-Beach 116th Street to 168th Street in Manhattan. These cars were first put into service in the 1930s.

Snowblock Posted May 30, 2013 Share #293 Posted May 30, 2013 The R9 will leave Rock Park in customer service when the ribbon cutting ceremony is over (around noon). This will be the FIRST revenue train to cross Jamaica Bay, after which the call will go out to all other and trains to start running in service there. Chances are the first revenue is going to be running empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you have those that live across the globe. (me reference) j express, consider yourself lucky you live in the New York City and not the Eastern Hemisphere. You can visit the Rockaways anytime..... minus the vintage trains. Kinda glad I have to go to Penn State tomorrow so I can avoid all the foaming and go fan in peace later, maybe next week.
