It feels like the lines that still had them (Astoria, Jamaica, Culver, Liberty) have been renovated, so I don't know if anywhere else is left. How about Dyre? Haven't been there recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted October 23, 2019 Share #22403 Posted October 23, 2019 Intervale should have them forever since that station was rebuilt after a fire. -- Worth noting that the new enamel signs have finally begun to arrive for the ESI station rebuilds. Stations like 72nd, Prospect etc. all received cheap sheet metal entrance signs after reopening, probably because the sign shop can't fabricate porcelain enamel and had to contract out the work. Some stations even got adhesive vinyl signs, which looked awful. The new signs are arriving (57th Street, for one) and they look far better. Some have bizarrely huge bullets for the routes, but mainly it's just good to see permanent quality signs arriving. I haven't checked if the SAS stations have been replaced yet at platform level, but my guess is that will slowly be occurring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4 via Mosholu Posted October 25, 2019 Share #22409 Posted October 25, 2019 I noticed that the last time they turned the train at Burnside Avenue during a General Order, the crew was kept until Utica. Beginning with the train to Burnside, they decided to change the crew at 149th Street instead of Burnside (where I would imagine they would have begun to do so). I'm not even sure why the crew cannot simply be changed at Burnside Avenue whenever that General Order is done. The same thing began with the train this past weekend. I'm starting to wonder whether the crew was meant to go to 149th Street, because I'm not certain as to why the crew cannot simply be changed at Burnside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnside most likely doesn’t have crew rooms or facilities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted October 25, 2019 Share #22412 Posted October 25, 2019 I curse the day the old line general manager made Burnside a terminal 10 years ago.

Yea, but then they started using Burnside to cut service in half to accommodate track work. (OTOH there might be more trains heading up that way now that 138 northbound is gonna closed for the winter. Those split section trains can’t really turn at 149 during that time, so I guess we can take the good with the bad) But still, M.O.W. railroad, I tell ya... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwnyc123 Posted October 25, 2019 Share #22417 Posted October 25, 2019 Do you all think they should Discontinue Overnight Express Service from 12midnight until 5:00am or 5:30am on in Manhattan in Manhattan, in Queens and have them run Local instead? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwnyc123 Posted October 25, 2019 Share #22418 Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Trains should not be running Express Overnight hours they should all run Local, where are people rushing to get to during those hours between (12midnight until 5:00am)?

Those split section trains can’t really turn at 149 during that time, so I guess we can take the good with the bad) But still, M.O.W. railroad, I tell ya... Personally, I feel like they should only shut down the entire Jerome Avenue Line (including 138th Street-Grand Concourse) every weekend for three months each year (instead of this constant half-ass closure they keep scheduling for any random weekend we get now). But ONLY during non-baseball season. Just to get maintenance or replacement out of the way. Under this GO, either run the between 3 Av-138 St and Utica Av (express day and evening, local overnight and early Sunday morning with the extension to/from New Lots Av) or run the fully local between 3 Av-138 St and New Lots Av all weekend. In both scenarios, the would have to be cut as usual between Bowling Green and E 180 and the entire Grand Concourse alone is not affected and used as a alternative including free shuttle buses running in two sections (1. Between Woodlawn and the Bedford Park stop and 2. Between 161 St-Yankee Stadium stop and 3 Am-138 St stop). In the latter scenario, the would have to be cut back to TSQ or 14. The entire Grand Concourse Line should be shut down every weekend for three months each year as well during non-baseball season to just get whatever maintenance or replacement out of the way. Under this GO, the is rerouted via the all weekend to/from Dyckman St, relaying north of the station. The entire Jerome Avenue Line is not affected and used as an alternative including free shuttle buses running in two sections (1. Between 205 St stop and the Mosholu Pkwy stop and 2. Between the Yankee Stadium stop and the 145 St stop). Neither GOs involve shutting down both Jerome and Concourse at the same time. Anyway, correct me if I am wrong or just don’t agree with me in general. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted October 25, 2019 Share #22425 Posted October 25, 2019 There’s less merging involved with the running express in Manhattan overnight ( and ) In theory it could run express overnight in Brooklyn also since the runs to lower Manhattan now, but the GO’s constantly knock out the past 36th Street so they’re better off leaving it alone, and DeKalb needs 6th Avenue service overnight (which is a big pain to do if the runs express on 4th Avenue.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
