Calvin Posted March 7, 2020 Share #23426 Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) The train's current fleet for this weekend are the R46s (one is used as a Shuttle), and R68/As from the . There's at least 4 R160 siemens set as well outside. Edited March 7, 2020 by Calvin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YungMarxian Posted March 8, 2020 Share #23429 Posted March 8, 2020 1) Architecture/engineering-wise, would it be feasible to a) double track the Brooklyn ? b) extend platforms to a full 10 car length? 2) Would such an undertaking, if possible, be worth it a) in terms of ridership? b) in terms of flexibility for routing for G.O.s and delays/incidents? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the ROW has no room, and the only station that could be extended is Botanic Garden. a) maybe, but it works with 2 cars. b) only NB s could use it, then they would be stuck at Franklin Av, because the track to the SB platform can't handle 10-car trains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true- the right of way does have room for a second track. After all, it was built as two tracks originally. Theoretically, all stations could be extended to some new length; the larger hurdle to overcome would be the modifications done to the line after the 1998 rebuild. The southbound track/portal/platform have been regularly used for non-revenue moves, and could still be theoretically used for passenger moves- not sure where you got the information about a Malbone Street "ban". 2 hours ago, YungMarxian said: 1) Architecture/engineering-wise, would it be feasible to a) double track the Brooklyn ? b) extend platforms to a full 10 car length? 2) Would such an undertaking, if possible, be worth it a) in terms of ridership? b) in terms of flexibility for routing for G.O.s and delays/incidents? Possible, maybe feasible, but probably not worth it unless Franklin Avenue was tied into a new route at the north end; perhaps Crosstown, South 4th Street, to the express tail tracks at 2nd Avenue-Houston Street station... but I wouldn't count on the MTA to build something like that, at least not in this century. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s only that way because trains that terminate on the southbound local track do not have any means to get back to the northbound local track except by wrong-railing past the Botanic Garden station or taking any of the switches south of Prospect Park and wrong-railing back up to the northbound local track. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they just rebuilt it to get rid of the 10-car platforms and second track so... That was what, in 2000? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainmaster5 Posted March 9, 2020 Share #23436 Posted March 9, 2020 On a completely different subject I wonder how many people have read the article about subway performance in the Daily News ? I've been posting about the bogus running time on the line for years. For years I would leave Dyre Avenue at 3PM and was scheduled to arrive at Bowling Green at 3:55 PM daily. Old SMEE, Redbirds, R142 whatever. It didn't matter. New signal system in the Bronx? No problem. ATS system turned off at Grand Concourse? Easy sailing down the Lexington corridor. ATS turned on ? Big problemo. Now I'm arriving 8 minutes late at Bowling Green. Let's blame the train crew, right? Guess what? No evidence of improper operation with or without supervision riding with us. Still we were not allowed to blame the ATS system for our lateness even though every local supervisor down the line knew the cause. I was told by an active RTO supervisor to look at the Trip Planner. Lo and behold there was an additional 8 minutes added to the running time. No more late train, right ? This is why I have a problem with those who spout numbers and metrics when I and many others know the whole story.The folks who still ride that interval know the truth, too. Just something to ponder. Carry on. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already have the crews working runs, so simply rerouting those trains to 168 is the least disruptive option since this is a weekend where the is running in Manhattan and can cover SAS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coney Island Av Posted March 10, 2020 Share #23449 Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) surprised no one here has posted about this recent bs (despite it surfacing on FB recently). some teenage foamers broke into the back cab of an R188, opened the back door and blew the horn. now that the police are after them, they are truly f**ked. https://nypost.com/2020/03/08/teens-break-into-subway-conductor-booth-aboard-moving-train/ original twitter post: Edited March 10, 2020 by Coney Island Av 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
