Myrtle Local Posted October 28, 2008 Share #3 Posted October 28, 2008 I guess they're doing some major work at 57th / 7th Avenue since it appears no trains are going through there. I remember last week there was apparently a broken rail at 57th and there big delays on the Broadway line. Would this have anything to do with that?

Abba Posted October 28, 2008 Share #6 Posted October 28, 2008 Service shortlined to Court SQ running from Court SQ to Smith 9 St Well nothing new about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UlmerPark B6 Posted October 28, 2008 Share #7 Posted October 28, 2008 Well, the runs local and the runs express if the line is being used. I know the 8th Avenue-53rd St viaduct is being worked on but why don't you just have the run express, and remain local? Thanks for the info, Dave!

Pelham Bay Dave Posted October 28, 2008 Author Share #9 Posted October 28, 2008 The reason they want service to run Express is to aviod conjustion on the 8 AVE Local track since Uptown trains would share the same track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qns Blvd Dom Posted November 6, 2008 Share #11 Posted November 6, 2008 I am just wondering. Is the N going to be all local in Brooklyn and serve DeKalb this weekend or it's going express in Brooklyn and through the bypass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustLok Posted November 6, 2008 Share #12 Posted November 6, 2008 Sounds like tube work perhaps, but tube work is always done under traffic if need be. But that N GO has been in effect late nights for some time now. And new plates has been going on for quite some time at 57th/7th now since that derailment months back. What this sounds like is multiple work orders at the same time with several departments piggy backing on this GO. Last time they had the N terminate @ 57th/7th even though it said Times Square. Oh well, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric B Posted November 6, 2008 Share #14 Posted November 6, 2008 All of this is for the track bed replacement just past 5th Av, Queens bound. It's ridiculous why this affects so much, like going into Brooklyn, but just like the D being sent up Bway a couple of weeks ago, supervision it seems can no longer manage all the trains converging upon the same tracks. I noticed before that they slowed everything down holding and pestering everyone for call letters and such (they're so afraid of wrong routes now; yet it often takes time to get the communication on the radio both ways), so that service would be completely messed up beyond the scheduled disruption. So now, the practice is to change everything to increase flow. With everything that is done now, the is reduced to 12 minute headway as well. (Yet they still don't seem to think it is enough to reduce the congestion with the other lines). So the is being cut off in Manhattan, but to avoid crowding out the at the next availble turnback location, 57th, they terminate it at 42nd. (It should still be express in Bklyn, then). But then to avoid crossing one line over the other, they make the express, and the local. Before; they used to send the or D to 57th, or cross the over there, to access 63rd; and cut the back at 42nd. (And there was only the wooden shed on the southbound platform that served as the office; now they built the new permanent office at the far end of the station). To keep the out of it altogether, they just send it up 6th Av; and now the has to go all the way through the tunnel as well to cover it. Similar thing when the D was sent up and had to use 42nd. On one hand, they had extended my job by about a half out because they stick G.O. crews in there placing everyone else behind. Yet, the benefit with this one is that my job starts at Times Sq; cutting out over 20 minutes of travel time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustLok Posted November 8, 2008 Share #18 Posted November 8, 2008 Yeah, they got a chip out starting this morning just north of 5th Ave, thru the station and then about 200ft south of 5th Ave on G2. New signal boxes and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
