I meant for it to run via Montague. I see how that does not help. trains switch to the local track right before 59th Street/Columbus Cir. trains run local from there. trains can switch to the express track right after 50th St. They normally switch to the local track. They can terminate at 14th using the switches between 23rd and 34th St. My edited version: trains run 8th Ave Local. trains run via 8th Avenue Express from 14th Street to Jamaica Center. trains runs on the 6th Avenue local track from B'way Lafayette to Rock Center. trains run in two sections, Brighton Beach to 57th St-7th Ave and 34th St-Herald Square and 145th St/Bedford Pk Blvd. trains run in two sections 14th Street, 8th Avenue to 71st Ave and Metropolitan Ave to Chambers/Broad St. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrainFanInfinity Posted August 4, 2012 Share #1704 Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) run local via 6th Avenue trains can't run via local. Okay, I'm going to re-write my scenario because I've gotta change some things: No trains can terminate at WTC due to a derailment. Because of flooding the 6 Av express tracks at West 4 St are unusable. Rules: 30 TPH total service must be maintained on both the 6 Av and 8 Av lines. Runs in two sections: Between Bronx and 34 Street-Herald Square. Between 34 Street-Herald Square via Broadway Express, Broadway-Laffayette and Brooklyn. Terminates at Chambers Street platform or Canal Street, both using the unused middle track.

I'm guessing this is a scenario so, assuming it's Queensboro Plaza-Whitehall Street: : No trains between Whitehall Street and Queensboro Plaza. : No trains between Whitehall Street and 57th Street. : Trains run all night to 21st Street-Queensbridge to replace Broadway Line service, via 6th Avenue and 63rd Street. : Extra trains run between Queensboro Plaza and Times Square.

Quill Depot Posted August 4, 2012 Share #1709 Posted August 4, 2012 Q43LTD, that is too much TPH. A track can only use 30TPH. Also what do you mean by the Broadway Line. Canal Street to 57th St or 57th to Whitehall. I'll use Whitehall. trains run in two sections,57th Street to 71st Avenue and Whitehall St to 96th Street. trains run from Whitehall to Coney Island. trains run via 6th Avenue to 21st Street Queensbridge.

This includes the problem and Xtreme bonus. So here's the list of closed stations: Fulton St Cortlandt St West 4 St WTC/Park Place Here goes... No trains between Chambers St and Wall St. No trains between 14 St and Wall St. No trains between Brooklyn Bridge and Wall St. No trains between 42 St and Flatbush Av. No trains between 34 St-Penn Station and Jay St-Metrotech. No trains between B'way Lafayette and 34 St. Yes, I know this isn't usually possible, but this requirement would most likely be bypassed (by having staff on site) since this is a long-term change. Suspended Trains run in two sections: 205 St to 34 St and Jamaica Center to Brooklyn, via 63 St, B'way Exp, and bridge. No trains between Penn Station and WTC. Runs half service.

Challenge: all outer-boro lines must have the same tph to Manhattan as before. Affected: , others as needed.
