bobtehpanda Posted July 19, 2019 Share #21755 Posted July 19, 2019 20 hours ago, JeremiahC99 said: It’s a great map. I do see that there are some big bottlenecks on the 60th Street Tunnel, so going by that map, I’m going to guess that making the 60th Street Tunnel connection to the Queens Blvd Line has now become a mistake that never should’ve happened. It was a fix for its time when the 63 St tunnel didn't exist and the City was rapidly losing population anyways. The real problem is that the 63 St tunnel connects with QBL west of Queens Plaza. It's the only thing IMO that makes deinterlining QBL with the current setup undesirable (in addition to the lack of tunnel between Lex-59 and Lex-63). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyer 230 Posted July 19, 2019 Share #21757 Posted July 19, 2019 PM rush hour is a disaster. All the IRT lines are suspended except the is down. I feel sorry for all those who have to rely on those line because there is always something going on with the subways. The certainly doesn’t need to keep having these disruptions because people are already flocking the subways because of poor service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably a problem with the ATS system, which is present on the lines. This happened earlier this summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some bottlenecks include sharp curves, Poor Terminal Operations, or Service’s using interlocking’s at Grade Level. Let me know what you all think of it: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1zW5OcTK4Zkc1_vlH-8LQ73k6UdrhA8hV&usp=sharing Great map. The easiest fixes would be to have Astoria Blvd serve as a short turn terminal for the during peak periods as well as making more s turn either at 111st or Willets. I can't understand how 71st or Euclid can have such crappy terminal ops other than the MTA's refusal to properly fumigate. The ACLU can't force the MTA to ride homeless into the yard no matter how much they scream, so start putting transit cops down there and get those trains moving. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNewYorkElevated Posted July 21, 2019 Share #21762 Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) I saw the Arnines partially empty on it's trip heading uptown while it was passing by Columbus Circle yesterday. Everyone was at the front, the rest of the train cars were almost empty. Clearly the hot weather made everyone stay home which is a surprise considering when an Arnine fan trip happens, alot of people show up for it (although this was not the case at Coney Island and 175th Street).

trainfan22 Posted July 21, 2019 Share #21765 Posted July 21, 2019 The Arnines have fans so that makes them more bearable than say, an 62A or post GOH 32 with broken A/C. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legally: Wait for a late night train GO where the trains are being rerouted to Wall Street on the Lex and reverse direction to BG and use the loop to go on 7th Avenue (or vice versa.) Illegally: Get two friends to the new South Ferry and push two shopping carts, one in each pocket track, while you wait at Cortlandt Street for a downtown train. When they start rerouting the trains, pray they don't kick you off at Rector. Also, make sure you have enough cash on hand to bail your 2 friends out of jail. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrivera Posted July 23, 2019 Share #21773 Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) @New Flyer Xcelsior Your plan didn't work. Good luck getting your buds out of the clink Part Suspended Posted: 07/23/2019 4:55PM There is no train service between Chambers St and South Ferry because a train's brakes were activated at South Ferry. The last stop for southbound trains will be Chambers St. Some northbound trains are running on the local track because train service is disrupted near South Ferry. Expect longer travel times uptown on trains. Edited July 23, 2019 by paulrivera 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve known about it for a while, but I’ve never actually seen anyone speak about it. How’d it go? I used it a couple of times. The second pilot (Woodlawn-Mosholu-Bedford-Burnside-149-125) was timed and paced better overall, but the pilot was still deemed a failure since it skipped too many important stops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
