Snowblock Posted March 7, 2013 Share #2528 Posted March 7, 2013 Well, I didn't know the B'way-Lafayette (if it's true). There's one scheduled train every evening which runs lite from Coney Island Yard to B/L via the Culver line, and then goes into service there. This is because of the clusterf**k of work trains coming out of 38 St Yard which mucks up traffic between 9th Ave and the bridge. I actually though about picking that job, just for kicks, but it starts/clears at the wrong end for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S78 via Hylan Posted March 7, 2013 Share #2529 Posted March 7, 2013 I guess that explains that 20 minute gap from 8:31 to 8:51 in the evening for the leaving Coney Island. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayBuffer Posted March 7, 2013 Share #2530 Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Hey, can you please share that link. Thanks! Sure. The C/R is around 5:20 basically looking like he's investigating a door problem. Although I'm guessing some liberties were taken with this since that's not how quite how it's done today and probably not then either (not w/ doors open). Part 3 had a scene where they show schoolcar & some training towards the end. Edited March 7, 2013 by BroadwayBuffer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, that's like saying to some ppl: "why wait for an R62A 6 when the 1 and 7 is all R62A?" Some people just gotta ride a specific train on a specific line...

RollOver Posted March 8, 2013 Share #2538 Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Sorry if this was discussed before, but I've noticed ten daily rush hour peak direction services operate to/from Euclid Avenue. I guess those are the trains that normally go to/from Rockaway Park-Beach 116th Street. And there's also some other problems I've always experienced. The Lexington Avenue/Eastern Parkway Expresses are always a crapshot at rush hour, especially when going southbound in Brooklyn during the PM Rush - numerous delays, crawling and back-ups. Is there capacity issues east of Utica Avenue on the Eastern Parkway Line which explains why the is often held around Kingston or near Utica? Is Utica is unable to handle all the services which explains why some go to/from New Lots via the local track east of Franklin Avenue? The and are much more reliable in terms of speed based on my experience during the PM Rush heading southbound, being that there's no bunching and gaping on the Seventh Avenue Express/Eastern Parkway Local. I won't even stress about the Nostrand Avenue Junction since the and get held there to let the other of which proceed first, and even delaying the and behind them. Reverse goes true northbound.

Grand Concourse Posted March 8, 2013 Share #2539 Posted March 8, 2013 But pointless because Essex and on via Jamaica av can only hold a max of 9 cars. So it's not going to work for the E and there's no point of such a roundabout line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooklynIRT Posted March 8, 2013 Share #2540 Posted March 8, 2013 how in the world does a show up on Nostrand at this time of night? also forget about those absurd wait times for the trains; subwaytime/ATS is either messing up, under maintenance, or both. the system thinks that it is currently taking every train 7 minutes to get from Church to Beverly. a lot of times during the day subwaytime shows 15+ minute waits for a , , , or train; which I find hard to believe unless intervals are being abandoned left and right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Culver Posted March 9, 2013 Share #2543 Posted March 9, 2013 I know this is a stupid question but- Why isn't South Ferry One Of the Stops on the Line? The Passes South Ferry Loop to Reroute to the Bronx , right? Think of it , South Ferry Will Have more Transit riders getting off from ether the And Also Giving No more Crowded Trains on the or . Is this a good idea? Something having to do with platform space. see: http://nycsubway.org/wiki/Station:_South_Ferry_%28IRT_West_Side_Line%29 As part of the West Side Line construction, a second loop track and platform was constructed on the inside of the first. The tracks were configured in such a way that the inner loop and platform was directly connected to the tracks from Bowling Green, and the outer (earlier) loop and platform would be served by the trains from the West Side line. Essentially a separate station, the South Ferry inner loop platform was used until 1977, mostly by a shuttle to the Bowling Green station on the Lexington/Brooklyn IRT. Because of the sharp curve (even sharper than the outer loop), trains could open only their center doors at the inner loop station, and so instead of a full platform face, the platform was mostly walled off from the track with arched openings along the wall where the cars' center doors would be. Starting in the late 1950s, when the new R-type cars displaced most of the original IRT rolling stock, trains arriving from the Lexington line on nights and weekends were rerouted to share the outer loop, because on the new cars it was not possible to selectively open only the center doors. The weekday shuttle used specially modified cars that opened only center doors, and continued using the inner loop until service ended in 1977. The track past the inner loop is still used to turn the #5 train when it is terminating at Bowling Green and not running to Brooklyn. The inner loop platform at South Ferry is now used for crew quarters, offices, storage, etc. and has a separate entrance from the fare zone upstairs. There was no free transfer between trains on the two platforms. The platform walls on the inner loop station were decorated with small mosaic friezes similar to those found at other Dual Contracts-era stations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borednyorker157 Posted March 9, 2013 Share #2545 Posted March 9, 2013 Why did they paint over the Red and Blue Skyline design on the Dyre Avenue Line that were on the station walls? You can see it coming through the paint and over the signs on the stations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
