Kamen Rider Posted December 14, 2013 Share #101 Posted December 14, 2013 You never know. On it's opening day, New South Ferry worked for about half an hour before a water main break, I think it was at canal or in the low teens, shuttered the entire west side IRT. The trapped trains were then pilfered of their "First five cars for south ferry" signs. Transit fans, MTA workers, heck even the cops were stealing them.

Kamen Rider Posted December 14, 2013 Share #103 Posted December 14, 2013 Some MTA staffers actually asked me if there were any left. and I saw some cops walking around with the signs under their arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. I guess we have railfans in the NYPD police force, more than I've realized. Make a long story short one time a cop gave me props on a pic of a R142A as I showed it off on the camera in friendly conversation even though I didn't have to. He thought it was cool. So amusing as it is not surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted December 15, 2013 Share #107 Posted December 15, 2013 Doesn't that stuff go pretty high on eBay? It did but since the loop is back open again and they made more signs, they pretty worthless now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted December 15, 2013 Share #108 Posted December 15, 2013 It did but since the loop is back open again and they made more signs, they pretty worthless now That is until they finish rebuilding the new SF station finally 10 years from now or whatever (exaggeration) knowing the extent of the damage inflicted on the station.

realizm Posted January 27, 2014 Share #114 Posted January 27, 2014 Sounds like the engineers are encountering problems with construction of the station also the elevators in the station hence the delays. Shit happens. Understandable. At least this is not due to cuts in funding or protests from NIMBYs delaying progress here like with the rest of the projects so maybe theres hope with this one...

Vistausss Posted January 27, 2014 Share #115 Posted January 27, 2014 Well, at least this is only pushed back a few months, so far.(yes, I know the extension is already delayed but I'm talking about the (now former) 'new' date of June 2014) ESA, for example, is pushed back worse.

More importantly, we know that there are escalators and elevators that are in place and can be tested. This is, at the very least, more information than we have with East Side Access.
