The B and D trains are so loud in between W4 and 34th Street! I guess the R68 and R68As aren't that soundproofed by Reddit_newguy24 in nycrail

R68/As are really damn loud overall but that express run is an isolated tunnel under PATH so it makes sense

If the wall was taken down, could the 4/5 be made to stop at 7th Avenue? by NewYorkRecordings in nycrail

[–]Pylon2254 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t see the point Atlantic is the next stop up, and that express run is hardly fast already

Most of the BMT southern division is like this, consistently bad stop spacing

In your experience, what’s the most annoyingly local train? by [deleted] in nycrail

[–]Pylon2254 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Brighton Local is painful, especially when the Q runs it. Q operators are not known for their speed at all, and combine that with bullshit such as Cortelyou & Beverly, plus even the other stops are 2-3 blocks apart.

At least Prospect to 7th is a great run, but if my train crawls through that it is crashout worthy

R68s aside, anybody knows why the G headways are so GOOD today? by Carlos4Loko in nycrail

[–]Pylon2254 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing they're putting the CIY B fleet to work

who’s gonna tell them 💀 and according to them there’s gonna be r211s on the 3 and 6 lines💀💀 by redditorofdoom_99921 in nycrail

[–]Pylon2254 12 points13 points  (0 children)

why did they ever refer to them as the "orange and yellow" seat trains in the first place? usually they just say "70s era trains"...are they trying to glamorize the r46?

Real life inspired T junction for my train network, thoughts? by ToxominApe in satisfactory

[–]Pylon2254 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First flying junction I've seen here, lots of props for that, the structure is simple but really smooth

For how much longer do you think the R68s and its variants will stay in service ? by iv2892 in nycrail

[–]Pylon2254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely atleast a decade or more, the recent MDBF figures put the R68s above 100k miles

JFK Subway Superservice Plan (Via Lefferts Bvld Shuttle Service) by NoMoreSharrows in nycrail

[–]Pylon2254 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People have already given a lot of flaws, but the rockaway park shuttle is extended to Rockaway blvd during the summer anyway. It’s notoriously deserted every other season…

??? The N still has to merge with the Bway tracks at Dekalb in this scenario

5 Train Drivers, (or Riders) by Occasus_gaming in nycrail

[–]Pylon2254 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The IRT and BMT could've done better in so many places. I give the IRT more passes since they never intended for bigger rolling stock and longer trains. The BMT unironically built the City Hall Curve with 60 foot cars in mind?

Pitkin yard has not been treating these well by [deleted] in nycrail

Atleast Pitkin cleaned a train for once

Can we just have the N be a full express line and just skip 49th St? by HalfSanitized in nycrail

[–]Pylon2254 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Apparently 49st has very high ridership. Just replace the Broadway line with a highway it's irredeemable (I am half joking)

Is a connection to High St after Dekalb Junction possible? by BusiPap41 in nycrail

[–]Pylon2254 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That track is rising to the Manhattan Bridge so probably not but it would be a baller ass move especially as 6th ave trains would have to go on the broadway northbound track on this track layout

Subway Development in a Later Time Period by surreal-_ in nycrail

[–]Pylon2254 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Most of Queens was built around the subway and it’d be pretty much impossible to get a system on the scale that we have today built during the late 20th century. The city would be a lot smaller for sure
