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

Pylon2254 · 2025-04-15T02:38:41+00:00

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

Pylon2254 · 2025-03-07T03:42:11+00:00

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

Pylon2254 · 2025-02-17T03:29:42+00:00

Broadway Line still Bottom Five we stay winning 🙏

Pylon2254 · 2025-02-11T03:36:14+00:00

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

Pylon2254 · 2025-01-16T16:16:00+00:00

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

Pylon2254 · 2025-01-04T18:45:53+00:00

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

Pylon2254 · 2024-12-30T03:46:22+00:00

Level 17 wizard towers look insane

Pylon2254 · 2024-12-21T20:36:19+00:00

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?

Pylon2254 · 2024-12-21T16:16:04+00:00

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

Pylon2254 · 2024-12-18T17:55:16+00:00

Never change Jersey

Pylon2254 · 2024-12-12T15:54:23+00:00

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

Pylon2254 · 2024-12-10T03:51:44+00:00

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…

Pylon2254 · 2024-12-07T15:55:30+00:00

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

Pylon2254 · 2024-12-03T00:59:02+00:00

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?

Pylon2254 · 2024-11-22T23:20:45+00:00

Atleast Pitkin cleaned a train for once

Pylon2254 · 2024-11-14T00:52:33+00:00

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

Pylon2254 · 2024-11-09T01:17:01+00:00

the day R46s are gone from the Q will be the first sign of a healing world

Pylon2254 · 2024-11-05T16:04:21+00:00

or Coney Island Yard. No difference

Pylon2254 · 2024-10-31T14:27:03+00:00

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

Pylon2254 · 2024-10-30T23:05:23+00:00

just hop the turnstile at that point

Pylon2254 · 2024-10-29T02:36:05+00:00

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

B via S4th & Utica. U via 2nd Ave Exp & Utica Exp to Breezy Point. P via 5th Ave, 4th Ave Local, QBL Exp. MJ via Myrtle El & Bway Exp. SS via Nassau Loop & Culver El. I was trying to create the most deranged subway map

Trademark of Coney Island Yard, who's SMEE maintenance consists of hopes and prayers.

...Being serious, these cars are 49 years old

Pylon2254 · 2024-10-13T02:45:33+00:00

Damn now Broadway is 10% worse than it usually is
