Fresh Pond Posted August 13, 2015 Share #76 Posted August 13, 2015 Really?! On the R32? What a waste of dinero! But if they keep at least a few signs the brown it would look awesome! How is it a waste of money when said stickers would be highly inexpensive to make? The brown M is dead. Dead and gone. Gone forever.

Eric B Posted August 13, 2015 Share #77 Posted August 13, 2015 Are they also getting stickers of Metropolitan Ave. for the south (bottom) destination sign? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted August 13, 2015 Share #78 Posted August 13, 2015 Are they also getting stickers of Metropolitan Ave. for the south (bottom) destination sign? They Most likely will, buit some of the ex R38 rollsigns from 2003 are on some R32's 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted August 13, 2015 Share #84 Posted August 13, 2015 There are a handful at best of R38 south signs on the 32s. Something like the 1 to Rector paper sign wouldn't surprise me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get used to it Actually, since it's probably a good bet that the weekend Chambers service (running now due to the Essex switch being out) will probably lead to a demand to keep it (even without the current G.O.); what they could do, since they will have to shut the line down for structural work, is since the service from Continental will be cut off at 2Av, make that the again, (since it's identical to that service), and then when the work is finished, just extend the on weekedays, and the weekend Chambers service would be the brown M again. That way, you won;t have one like with two different destinations and trunk routes (with their respective colors). This time, they likely won't oppose the extension of the , since the M wouldn't be completely replaced this time (which is what they opposed), but just run part time (and on its old alignment).

Tomtoon Posted August 14, 2015 Share #86 Posted August 14, 2015 I think there's a different or a 2nd set on the J (8163 rather than 8153) unless I'm mistaken from the videos I've seen on YouTube? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priincenene Posted August 14, 2015 Share #88 Posted August 14, 2015 That doesn't make sense.... Well, if you read carefully you can see that he means the brown should comeback and the should comeback. Simple as that.

Eric B Posted August 14, 2015 Share #89 Posted August 14, 2015 Well, the work would be used to phase in the new service pattern, but what I was talking about was a permanent patern of to CTL on weekdays and M to Chambers on weekends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the MTA also planning to do some kind of heavy-duty construction in the Chrystie St connection itself that would require it to be shut down on weekdays? That kind of project is really the only way it would require the train to be split back up into the separate Continental-2 Ave (the ) and the Myrtle-Chambers (the old brown M) services. It would be no different from the way they split the and trains during the second time they closed the Manhattan Bridge north side tracks (by using and for the Brooklyn services). But if all they're doing is taking Essex middle out of service to repair the switches, then there's no point in officially "splitting" the back up into the old and "brown M" services. And on a slightly different note, what exactly is the MTA planning to do at Myrtle-Broadway? What kind of work is needed at that junction that I'm hearing about the need to run R32s on the ?

RollOver Posted August 14, 2015 Share #92 Posted August 14, 2015 There would be no need at all to rename neither split sections of the orange anyway. It's basically the same exact , which isn't ever coming back either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B Posted August 15, 2015 Share #93 Posted August 15, 2015 The work at Myrtle-Bway I understand is rehabilitation of the 101 year old viaduct connecting the two lines. (Not the Chrystie connector. It would be unused on weekdays if the is cut back due to the viaduct work). I thought most people here agreed that a separate letter should be used on different branches with different terminals. (like why they wouldn't have the run to both 96th and Astoria at the same time, as someone suggested, and others want the south branches of the redisignated). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted August 15, 2015 Share #94 Posted August 15, 2015 You'd still have the same headways on both Lefferts and Far Rock branches anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobtehpanda Posted August 16, 2015 Share #95 Posted August 16, 2015 There are two schools of thought on the whole Fulton St line thing. Some people want to rename a branch of the the or something, and others want to make all (A)s go to the Rockaways or Howard Beach and extend the to Lefferts instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooklynIRT Posted August 16, 2015 Share #96 Posted August 16, 2015 Might as well forget about the second school of thought (for now and the foreseeable future at least) since it has been well documented that Lefferts riders do not want to ride trains directly to/from there that run local in Brooklyn and absolutely will not stand for the loss of direct service from a train that runs express in Brooklyn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in this case, they won't be able to run service in Brooklyn at all (unless they can run a single-track shuttle from Metro to Central Ave), given that the viaduct is the M's only connection to the rest of the system. And with no turn back switches west of Myrtle, only the Queens Blvd/53rd St/6th Ave portion of the will be able to run while the viaduct undergoes reconstruction. While that is the former service, it should be called because it's still one continuous service.
