CenSin Posted January 2, 2015 Share #8351 Posted January 2, 2015 guys from now on either answer it or just ignore it. You don't need to keep ranting about the same users. I'm not saying ranting is the appropriate response, but some habits should be discouraged. And for his own benefit (so that he doesn't become one big fail later in life), he should be learning valuable research skills. How will he ever write essays in junior high school, high school, and college if he can't proactively discover the most basic facts for himself? And it's not like these facts require scientific experimentation to come by; they already exist and someone just has to look for it if they don't know. Most Google queries require around 3 to 5 terms, and the results are almost always contained within the first two pages. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PATCOman Posted January 2, 2015 Share #8356 Posted January 2, 2015 Those LEDs have been there for years. The R62As used to use roll signs that designated them as / but the LEDs are a much better way of indicating express/local I remember I first saw them in 2008. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priincenene Posted January 2, 2015 Share #8357 Posted January 2, 2015 I remember I first saw them in 2008. I remember back in 2008 when I was going around Roosevelt and a was passing by with the GREEN LED and I was like "What?! I never seen these before." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted January 3, 2015 Share #8358 Posted January 3, 2015 There's this new vandal on the subway that changes the roll signs on the and because he can change the roll signs when the trains are entering the loop and he can't be detected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTA Dude Posted January 3, 2015 Share #8359 Posted January 3, 2015 I remember back in 2008 when I was going around Roosevelt and a was passing by with the GREEN LED and I was like "What?! I never seen these before." I was like 5 that time and my weird brain made me think that the used to run R68s, then, the big LED's came in and was like, okay, I guess they smoothed out the walls and added that light and removed the window seats and called it an NTT.

Javier Posted January 4, 2015 Share #8360 Posted January 4, 2015 This has been on my mind: Back in 2001, when American Airlines 552 crashed in Queens, was service affected? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YankeesPwnMets Posted January 4, 2015 Share #8362 Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) First of all, Flight 587 was the flight that crashed, not 552. Second of all, the plane crashed almost a mile away from the Rockaway Park station, meaning that it crashed too far away to affect subway service.

If the smoke was bad they might have suspended Rockaway Shuttle service for a while. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, that map is very outdated. Would station rehabs include things like crossovers, or not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted January 5, 2015 Share #8369 Posted January 5, 2015 Is there a list of all the stations without crossovers? I don't know if there's an updated version around. You could probably use Wikipedia and see which stations don't have free crossovers, but that's time-consuming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably use Wikipedia and see which stations don't have free crossovers, but that's time-consuming. Well, the work has to start somewhere, sometime, by someone. And if it's on Wikipedia, three-quarters of the work has been done already; it's just a matter of compiling and formatting data already collected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted January 5, 2015 Share #8372 Posted January 5, 2015 What the? I never knew R160's were capable of displaying "Times Sq 42 Street Next". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted January 5, 2015 Share #8373 Posted January 5, 2015 What the? I never knew R160's were capable of displaying "Times Sq 42 Street Next".The R142/As did too. It was within the first few years of service these NTTS had those signs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted January 5, 2015 Share #8375 Posted January 5, 2015 It's a coding issue. Rather than have two different ways to show the information, one for the 142s and another for the 143s/160s, they decided on using one uniform format for all of the NTTs. Since the 142s can't display "XX NEXT" on the signs without some of the text being cut off on the longer station names, the de-facto winner was the format we see today with "THE NEXT STOP IS" "XX". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
