Gorgor Posted February 26, 2013 Share #3576 Posted February 26, 2013 The Chrystie Street Connection cannot be used due to a structural problem that will be fixed for about 5 years. Where would the go without a connection to the Sixth Avenue Line towards Forest Hills? Where it used to always go, Broad Street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quill Depot Posted February 27, 2013 Share #3577 Posted February 27, 2013 It's been a while for me and this foamfest... Due to signal problems, switches at West 4th Street are stuck in the straight postion. This means all trains passing on the local track must pass 6th Avenue --> 8th Avenue northbound, and 8th Avenue --> 6th Avenue southbound. Use track maps to your benefit, and good luck. The switches north of the station are unaffected. and terminal switch south of W4, just temporary. trains run between Jamaica and 34th-Penn. trains run 8th Ave Local from 53rd-5th to W4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens me before when I was on front car of Bedford Park Blvd-bound when they had single shuttle bus operation to 205th St due to Weekend G.O (I think few years ago), and T/O took wrong switch and rear of train was at Bedfrod Park Blvd Station. I was calm in situation from watching evacuation videos on MTA Website. Conductor took awful time opening the car door when operator and conductor announced "We;ll evacaute> I think this should be part of fve rules for emergency evacuation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
