Rode on a (7) train this evening that had program problems, or rather, the conductor(s) (there were two) were playing around. First, they signed up the train as a Manhattan bound <7> to Times Square. Then they signed it up as a (7) Shuttle to Vernon-Jackson, which was actually quite interesting to see and hear. I'm uploading the video and will post the link when it's up.

LMAO they really abbreviated Vernon-Jackson...You can't be serious

 

Jesus... because Vernon by itself TOTALLY makes sense to tourists... Can't imagine the look people gave this sign... sometimes I just don't get the MTA...

Yeah, it doesn't make sense but that's what they did. I think they should've kept it as "Vernon-Jackson". They did the same thing to "Queensboro Plz", they changed it to "Q Boro Plz"...

 

In other news, R188 sets 7491-7495 and 7496-7927-7500 are in service.

I know this is off topic but your name interests me. Do you work in tech? Or have knowledge about gaining experience?

Funny thing is, they use the same format for the Woodside - 61 St terminal announcments.

 

But they really need to fix that 74 St. - Broadway transfer announcements. It sounds like she's saying " Transfer is available to the (E)(F) (M- (the M is cut off) and (R) trains."

That's during the weekends or late nights, when the (M) doesn't go to Forest Hills I believe.

No lol. Technology and Transit are two of my biggest hobbies so that's where the name comes from. I know some minimal stuff about technology, but nothing that advanced.

 

In R188 related news, I've noticed that a lot of R188 floors are getting salted (primarily towards the Flushing bound side, C car and lead car towards Flushing) I was on 7927 (the newest C car in service) and Corona had salted it's floors. Does the salt in any way damage the floor? I've noticed on a lot of older 188 cars, the floor has turned very rough.

Well if you wanna be technical, South Ferry on the R142's and R142A's isn't technically a terminal, it's more of a regular stop because of it's loop. Here's the programs for the (2) line but they haven't been updated since last year. Plus there's a (5) to South Ferry.

You trying to kill me lmao?

 

Yes I do, let me find it but let me warn you, it is at least 180 pages long.

Send It to me in a PM then in parts. (A) then (B) then (C) etc. :lol:

 

Right now I'm really interested in the (J) and the (R) but having the others in a word document would be nice!

(I made one of the IRT ones you just posted)
