realizm Posted January 1, 2014 Share #5176 Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) Yup. I'm sure tomorrow on the Brooklyn side of the BMT will be a difficult commute for many with the open cut areas always prone to problems with major storms. They always slash the heck out of service on the Sea Beach line as well, decreasing service, and cutting out express service overall to allow for the movement of trains underground. So on the 4th Ave BMT the delays may be massive, very likely. Ditto on the via West End . Edited January 1, 2014 by realizm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreechyFlange Posted January 1, 2014 Share #5177 Posted January 1, 2014 I believe there was one in the Time Square area around 3am so the year is taking a leap already. That pun usage was clever... *Gives weird stare* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo19 Posted January 1, 2014 Share #5180 Posted January 1, 2014 You're right. Even if by some stroke of extremely bad luck and the 32s were retired before the 44 issues cropped up, they would not cut an important secondary line like the C. The merger of the M and V may not have happened and a few lines would've seen reductions in service. Of course, the 179 order would've been rushed up a bit and whatever 44s that were in good enough condition to be in service would remain active. Thank you! I believe there was one in the Time Square area around 3am so the year is taking a leap already. Oh shit, I knew I shouldn't have joked about that yesterday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Friday 1986 Posted January 2, 2014 Share #5181 Posted January 2, 2014 Speaking of snowy weather and what not, check these photos out....... R16 6305 in the snow. Both photos are from John Barnes and posted on nycsubway.org just yesterday. Photos were taken on December 10th at Coney Island Yard. These guys really did an excellent job. Hope car 6339 gets this similar treatment soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realizm Posted January 2, 2014 Share #5186 Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) I went off a single forecast made on the weather channel this morning. I guess the forecast was updated, as the storm may have took an unexpected turn in its path which the meteorologists did not anticipate.

trainfan22 Posted January 2, 2014 Share #5192 Posted January 2, 2014 I like the fact that they kept the old school rollsign in that R16. Most of the SMEE's in the museum fleet have modern ones... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
