Princelex Posted February 13, 2009 Share #3 Posted February 13, 2009 Man that sucks. I hope there were no injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted February 13, 2009 Share #4 Posted February 13, 2009 Oh NO!! If there is no service, what would replace service along local stations along the A line between 168 and 145 and south of 59? That's a LOT of stations to neglect? I suggest temporarily extending trains to Euclid to cover the area, and run local north of 125. Expect a lengthly cleanup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinnyBrooklyn Posted February 13, 2009 Share #14 Posted February 13, 2009 The was going local in Brooklyn. There was a shortage of trains going towards Queens so they used at least 2 trains to go to Lefferts and Far Rockaway. I took a train out towards the Rockaways around 2:30.

Amtrak7 Posted February 14, 2009 Share #15 Posted February 14, 2009 How do you run an train via CPW? Manhattan-bound has no way to access CPW without switching back at 47-50 St. (. Northbound via CPW would be possible, but some Queens station would lose service, especially if the is out. Also, traffic reports say the is suspended 125-59. The advisories page says otherwise. Which is true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the only way for the to get onto CPW is running uptown, at that point those trains would not be going to Queens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
via White Plains Road Posted February 14, 2009 Share #17 Posted February 14, 2009 How fast do you have to run an R68 to derail it? I doubt it was going fast....the timers are yellow along the way of that section! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R62A 1991 Posted February 14, 2009 Share #18 Posted February 14, 2009 I doubt it was going fast....the timers are yellow along the way of that section! Correct. The timers (although they supposedly clear at 40-45 in between 86th St & 72nd St) make trains go incredibly slow, so I think it might've been the track.

Forest Glen Posted February 14, 2009 Share #19 Posted February 14, 2009 The A train resembled a sardine can. There were about 500 people at the uptown platform at West 4 street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattTrain Posted February 14, 2009 Share #22 Posted February 14, 2009 I read and watch these different news sources and they say Downtown or Uptown train derailed at 81 Street, and some go on to say that the ( is the line canceled. NBC News reported a uptown derailed, but I may be wrong about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
