I've been saying this forever! But now I just take the LIRR, can't be bothered. I emailed them one time and they replied saying it's cost prohibitive (meanwhile, all the crews are late and probably get overtime anyway) 16 hours ago, BM5 via Woodhaven said: Yeah, it took me 30 minutes to get from Roosevelt to Woodhaven Boulevard. I should have opted for taking the Q53 instead. Right, extremely frustrating. One time I bailed for the Q60, it's absolutely crazy, who's in charge? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR503 Posted January 9, 2018 Share #17478 Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) There's provisions at Forest Hills to allow for an xover just before the station. Why not install one, and let terminating trains use the track everyone isn't crammed onto? Of course, this wouldn't be helpful if they were doing work in station, but i'd wager that most of the time, that's not the case.

It could help in some instances. Do you know whether there ever was a crossover at this location? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tagged 160 was probably an layup in Manhattan on the abandoned Bowery side, since Fresh Pond yard can't be reached, and ENY doesn't have space, trains stored on the Broadway Junction end of the route must be laid up in Manhattan around the abandoned Bowery Platform, If you ride an Queens Bound train on the weekends between Canal and Bowery, you can see the laid up trains if you look out the right side of the train. ENY yard is secure, 111th layups and the Bowery layups are vulnerable to graffiti artists tagging the trains, they won't even lay up NTT at 111th cause they don't want graffiti artists tagging them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones next to some doors? If you look on the ground, under the seat beneath the star sticker, there's a locked metal box that has some brake valves in it. The sticker is there to make it easy to find from eye level. I forget what the triangle one was, master door controller it might have been. Can't find the answer and the MTA folks aren't allowed to tell you so that's about as specific as it's gonna get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N6 Limited Posted January 11, 2018 Share #17493 Posted January 11, 2018 Does anyone know where one can find the subway profile of Flatbush Ave and Fulton St? There are 10 tracks (4 IRT / 6 BMT) diverging at that intersection. It would be interesting to see how they fit under there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N6 Limited Posted January 12, 2018 Share #17497 Posted January 12, 2018 If all QB trains are going express between Roosevelt and 71st Ave Why can't they terminate northbound trains at Roosevelt Ave and send them straight to the yard from there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
