The tradition sure has changed with this thread.

 

NEXTThe following areas are impassible.

A/C/E Chambers St to Port Authority

B/D/F/M Broadway Lafayette to Rockefeller Plaza

 

NOTE

Trains may not enter WTC E Station.

 

Here goes. This assumes trains CAN NOT use any of the mentioned stations to terminate:

 

(A) runs in two sections:

207th Street-Columbus Circle, Manhattan

High Street, Brooklyn and Lefferts Boulevard, Queens (local throughout)

Additional A service runs from Utica Avenue, Brooklyn-Far Rockaway, Queens (express Utica Avenue-Euclid Avenue in Brooklyn)

Special shuttle between High Street, Brooklyn and Fulton Street, Manhattan, single tracked.

 

(B) and (C) are suspended

 

(D) operates in two sections:

205th Street-59th Columbus Circle

57th Street-7th Avenue (via the (N) in Manhattan) to Coney Island

(free OOS transfer between the Columbus Circle, 57th Street-7th Avenue and 57th Street-6th Avenue stations)

 

A special (D) shuttle train operates between Columbus Circle and 53rd Street-7th Avenue, single tracked.

 

(E) operates to 53rd Street-Lexington Avenue ONLY. For the west side of Manhattan, from Queens transfer at Court Square for the (7)

(Q) runs normal.

 

Franklin Avenue (S) runs in two sections:

Franklin Avenue-Botanic Garden (single two-car train on the Franklin Avenue-bound platform)

Botanic Garden (Prospect Park-bound platform)-Coney Island (300' train) making normal (Q) stops between Prospect Park and Brighton Beach (this is in addition to the Q and allows for transfers to the (2), (3), (4) and (5) at Botanic Garden for Manhattan to alleviate potential jam-ups on the Q as is the J extension).

 

Special OOS transfers are available between the Hoyt-Schermhorn and DeKalb Avenue stations AND the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center and Lafayette Avenue A stations and Fulton Street G stations in Brooklyn.

 

 

Next:

A police issue has knocked out service between Union Square and Grand Central. The switches north of Grand Central CAN be used, but Lexington Avenue line trains can only go into the very north end of the station if needed to get past the switches. The (7) station at Grand Central is also impassible.

 

At the same time, a derailment at the 5th Avenue Broadway Line station has knocked service out there (57th/7th and 60th/Lex CAN be used) AND a rail condition has knocked out 6th Avenue express service going uptown.

 

Re-route accordingly, however, the (M) MUST be able to use the 6th Avenue line and can not be re-routed to Chambers (it can be re-routed from where after it leaves 6th Avenue if necessary).

I forgot on that one to have the (M) in this case also being re-routed with the J to Brighton Beach to help with the B being suspended. Also should have noted the A and D on CPW would be running local since I have a special D shuttle run between Columbus Circle and 53rd/7th that runs on one of the express tracks.

I just said it could be re-routed after 47-50, not that it had to, but that the M must run on 6th Avenue to at least 47-50 and could not be re-routed to Chambers on that scenario.

LOOK AT THE TRACK MAP: Link

 

The ONLY way to loop through Coney Island is by having it single track for a considerable amount, and COMPLETELY screw over the (D) and (N) trains. Coney Island was built as a terminal; not as a loopty loop for you to have fun with.
