You have that right, since the is making all stops in Brooklyn (Culver Line) and Manhattan (6 Avenue via the 63 Street Connector). That is a neat arrangement for late night service via local, and via express. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a neat arrangement for late night service via local, and via express. You got that one right, the F is much too long for all stop service. Thus they decided to have the F run express. The E is much shorter, justifying why they have to run local during the twilight hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted April 5, 2009 Well, I remember the running local between 21st-QueensBridge and Forest Hills-71st just after the 63rd Street connector is built... Must have been a GO or an abnormal disruption such as weather or a 12/9 or signal issues like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelham Bay Dave Posted April 6, 2009 Share #9 Posted April 6, 2009 I know its late but trains did run local between 71 AV and Roosvelt the signal problems were South of 63rd Drive almost all of the PM Rush Hour. Also because of the slow speed order at Grand Northbound during Rush Hours SOME 179 Street bound and Parsons Bound trains do make Local Stops between 36 Street and 71 AV. The crews don't get told until they sitting at the Homeball South of 36 St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTR Admiralty Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share #10 Posted April 7, 2009 How come? I rode it for a while... There shouldn't be so many GO, Disruption or 12/9... This WAS a service notice. It was a service disruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share #12 Posted April 8, 2009 A long-term Service Change... Not GO, not 12/9... The reason for me posting this is due to a service change. The F, generally, should not be running local on the QBL during late nights. When you saw the F doing local, there was a disruption of some sort. The F is normally scheduled to run express on QBL at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metsfan Posted April 9, 2009 Share #17 Posted April 9, 2009 That's nothing compared to SAS or 1 WTC, or ESA. Do you realize how many transit/transportation projects have been conceived planned and implemented since SAS and ESA were originally proposed & begun? 1 WTC is 20 feet above street level 6 years after the rubble was cleared. Do you realize how many buildings have been drawn up, finalized, constructed topped out and filled with tenants since 2003? One bryant park (BoA building), 11 times square (topped out), and several residential towers along the west side.... - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelham Bay Dave Posted April 9, 2009 Share #19 Posted April 9, 2009 During PM Rush Hours selected Parson/179 Bound run local Queens Plaza to Parsons/179 and selected 179 Street Bound run local between 21 QB to 179 Street until the slow speed on the Uptown express track is over at Grand.

They also found human remains. However, I do not think the 63rd Street tunnel connector got delayed by body parts or politics. When LIRR broke away from PRR they lost a lot of financial breathing room. This lasted till the state purchased it and made it part of the . This was at a dark time in us RR history where infrastructure was failing and trains often broke down, so the idea of the ESA was widely accepted as a good thing, however had its own problems leading into the hell years, and appropriate funding was not available till recently. There was money earlier, but it was needed to fix things neglected in the hell years including purchase new "R" fleet. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbirdbassist Posted April 9, 2009 Share #22 Posted April 9, 2009 Last night all trains were running on the local tracks. At around 1am I was waiting for a Jamaica bound train after dropping my GF off at 67th Ave. F trains were doing express on the the local, E was local as usual for the night hours. While I was waiting, a work train consisting of a leading crane car, a flat car, and R33 pushed by a diesel were on the Manhattan bound express track headed towards Roosevelt from 71st.

I guess that might be the norm. The express tracks might be used for maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
