Kacie Jane Posted April 3, 2011 Share #1076 Posted April 3, 2011 ... Actually, if you read that closely, that's just one author's guess as to why there was low ridership. The 5 trips were just turned into 70(N)s, ergo the same number of trains were still running along that section of track... ergo track capacity wasn't why they cancelled it. (Track capacity may have slowed down the NX, making it more effective to just run them as Ns instead, but it didn't prohibit them from running it.) Splitting hairs, of course.

Kacie Jane Posted April 4, 2011 Share #1082 Posted April 4, 2011 Well, the switches from railroad south to railroad north going through Chrystie Street, but I'm not sure if that counts as IND or BMT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NX Express Posted April 4, 2011 Share #1089 Posted April 4, 2011 does it NEED to be on Revenue trackage? Yes. The trackage must be usable to revenue, in-service trains with no modifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kacie Jane Posted April 4, 2011 Share #1090 Posted April 4, 2011 Guess #2... this one also might not qualify since it's also a connection between two divisions, but I'm pretty sure it was IND built, so I'll throw it out there. A train heading railroad (and compass) north on the Concourse line can enter Concourse yard and exit railroad south on the Jerome Avenue line without reversing.

Kacie Jane Posted April 4, 2011 Share #1095 Posted April 4, 2011 I facepalmed once I figured it out - admittedly with help from the interwebs. But yeah, you leave railroad north from Rockaway Park, via the connecting track, and end up railroad south towards Far Rockaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kacie Jane Posted April 4, 2011 Share #1097 Posted April 4, 2011 I looked around there for a while (that's where I came up with Concourse Yard), but couldn't quite find it. I pieced it together from a combination of tidbits on Wikipedia. Longish question from me... Name every line post-Chrystie that has had a "four-borough run" - in regular service, of course - either four different boroughs, or entering the same borough twice. Also, include at least one pair of qualifying termini for each line. A few of them (the 70(M)(Mx) has at least one for each color - and hopefully that answer was obvious) will have more than one pair of correct termini, and getting as many as you guys can would be great, but the question's answered once you get every line and at least one pair for each.

MikeGerald Posted April 4, 2011 Share #1098 Posted April 4, 2011 The 1980's version of the CC or C train that ran from Bedford Park Blvd to Rockaway Park during the rush hours, one of the very few lines that traveled to four Boroughs - the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens.

Kacie Jane Posted April 4, 2011 Share #1099 Posted April 4, 2011 Yup. That's the only one I have that did it by hitting each of the four subway boroughs once. But there are several that hit one borough twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
