Daniel The Cool Posted December 19, 2015 Share #11454 Posted December 19, 2015 Yep so access to 207th Street yard is closed this weekend due to a G.O. Heard from a friend about it but wasn't sure if it was true until I saw a couple trains being laid up at 135 southbound spur tracks while riding the last Train 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why the Holiday Train is staying at Pitkin Well that's a new one...What are they closing it for?Sandy related repairs and flood proofing for the yard leads and parts of the yard itself Edited December 19, 2015 by Dj Hammers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And are they using the R110A converts for these? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And are they using the R110A converts for these? Flood proofing, not clearing out floods. The trains are sill bring stored at 207, it's just that since the arnines are running on weekends this month, they'll sit in Pitkin for now. Once the last trip is over, it'll go to Pitkin again until that Monday when yard access opens up again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R10 2952 Posted December 19, 2015 Share #11461 Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) As some of you may recall, the almost never ran to Forest Hills after 2001. The MTA always claimed it was because of "maintenance". But I just realized that's BS; cutting the back to Court Square once the 63rd Street Connection opened was always their agenda and that's exactly what they implemented. Pretty slick.

Union Tpke Posted December 19, 2015 Share #11462 Posted December 19, 2015 Today at the Forest Hills station an announcement saying that there was a man in the women's bathroom and telling them to come out. It repeated about five times or so before calling the police. It was weird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty slick.I thought it was after 2007/2008 when the rarely went to Forest Hills-71st.The whole plan was to get two express and two locals to serve Manhattan and the going via 63rd made sense. There is no way for the to connect to 8th Ave so that was out and if the local now the was to go through 63rd I don't think it would be used like it is now. Unfortunately it made sense to cut the back because it only benefitted people either going to Brooklyn or just staying within Queens. So it's probably much easier to transfer to the or at court square. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted December 20, 2015 Share #11464 Posted December 20, 2015 Isn't this the reason why the was suppose to be cut back to Smith - 9th Sts after a G.O but the MTA decided it was a good idea to have it terminate at Church Av. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have the final "G.O" poster they posted for it before they finally cut it on my wall. Back when the posters were orange. It was a 24 hour G.O from April 10 straight to June 26 saying that they weren't serving Queens Blvd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, when looking at those strip maps, it looks like you're riding in the late 2000's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S78 via Hylan Posted December 20, 2015 Share #11469 Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) Around two weeks ago, I passed by Atlantic Ave on the to see how much progress has been made, but it didn't look like much work has been completed.
