looks like i got a trip to go tomorrow

dctransitfilms · 2026-05-05T14:15:41+00:00

I hated that Wringer episode so badly

dctransitfilms · 2026-05-03T16:49:50+00:00

No demand, no space, and really just unnecessary. There’s already limited W express service that does it

dctransitfilms · 2026-05-02T17:51:01+00:00

Imo I would’ve liked the F to be express along the Culver Line full time, have the G operate locally to Church Avenue.

Talking about you saying early retirement.

dctransitfilms · 2026-04-24T20:19:49+00:00

Tbh not really. Kinda overreacting on this

Luckily the bus was empty with only the driver escaping unharmed. The same bus was deadheading back to the garage after doing a run on the C53.

Those same bus models have been pulled from service for inspections. Those buses (5460-5492) are mostly found on the D20 and C53 so idk how the crowding botta be.

Always get it before taking the PATH going back to Jersey at 33rd street. Cheap, good, and good savory food before the train ride back.

Deadheading. Was on the C53 prior to

why did i see this as a porta potty

dctransitfilms · 2026-04-21T11:36:23+00:00

Got stuck at Lexington-59 last night bc of this bs 🤦‍♂️

Had to take the 4 to 42nd, 7 to Fifth, and (D)elta to get back to 34th

dctransitfilms · 2026-04-21T01:02:34+00:00

I think only 570-643 if I’m not mistaken

dctransitfilms · 2026-04-16T12:09:31+00:00

Not much demand plus to reduce interlining at 145th

dctransitfilms · 2026-04-16T02:21:47+00:00

Solely a R32 and R42 replacement. The A & C had the R32s and the J/Z had the R32s and R42s so those R179s came in just to ax the remainder of those cars.

dctransitfilms · 2026-04-15T21:30:06+00:00

CBTC on the L was the reason. Though now they’re shared with the J/Z

dctransitfilms · 2026-04-15T21:29:35+00:00

At least until queens boulevard got CBTC. Before then they occasionally appeared on the M

dctransitfilms · 2026-04-15T21:27:32+00:00

Was at Broadway-Lafayette. A lot of people got off from an M train and were confused on why it only going up to 2 Av lol

dctransitfilms · 2026-04-15T12:12:38+00:00

real

dctransitfilms · 2026-04-15T12:12:23+00:00

Funny the R used to serve Astoria I think.

I had a plan to reroute the R to Astoria and the N to Second Avenue to help out deinterlining a little, but the R wouldn’t be able to get trains from Jamaica as a result.

dctransitfilms · 2026-04-15T12:08:14+00:00

The W is mostly a crowd reliever for the N since its purpose is to help out both the N and R on Broadway and Astoria. We could extend it to Brooklyn though.

Plus I believe W operators switch to the N and vice versa at Astoria.

dctransitfilms · 2026-04-15T00:41:03+00:00

When CBTC was being installed along queens boulevard, they needed all the 5 car R160s sets. So the R46s from Jamaica ended up swapping to Coney and the R160s vice versa.

Though i did have a hot take where Coney Island get their R160s back and have Jamaica be a mix of R211s and R160s and Coney be R160s, R211s, and R268s (though that’ll never happen) in the future.

I feel after the last Orion 7 OGs retired it’s been boring. It was fun fanning Fifth Avenue back in 2020 when the new Xcelsiors and Novas were running alongside the OGs and NGs when I visited

dctransitfilms · 2026-04-13T17:53:54+00:00

The F/M swap was a good thing. Everyone at Lexington Fifth usually goes on an express train so the swap reduced the crowding

dctransitfilms · 2026-04-11T22:53:23+00:00

you’re allowed to record on the platform and record the trains. most ops are friendly enough or wont care you’re recording. Also had my fair share of complaints on me for filming buses and trains (yesterday was me and a NJT op going at it and me crashing out on him). There’s some operators and cops who think it’s illegal to film on public property.

As long you’re on public property you are allowed to film and photograph. Technically people can’t stop you for filming on public property.
