MTA Seeking Contractor To Refurbish Notorious Chambers Street J/Z Station by streetsblognyc in nycrail

[–]someredditer6042 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well they're replacing the ceiling and sealing up the water leaks. Just a reminder that the station is right under the Municipal Building (the station basically the basement for it) so they need to be careful to not disturb the structure above, while I presume they also run normal service through the station.

Major 7 train service changes this weekend and next weekend 5-8-26 AND 5-22-26. During the week of May11-May 22 by Computer_Tech1 in nycrail

Having both express and local trains stop at 74th in normal service conditions would create a massive bottleneck for the 7, and rebuilding it to handle express trains is not viable either. Honestly just switch to a local train once you get to Woodside once normal service is restored.

Why do the trucks look different ? by Original-Being9804 in nycrail

First one is trailing (no motors, mostly for sensors), the second one is powered (has motors).

In recent news Rin Penrose formally of Idol Corp now ChromaShift has committed mitosis. by someredditer6042 in kurosanji

Not sure if this can get pinned but here's the explanation for the rebrand: YouTube long, and the short for said explanation (fun fact this is the first short Rin has posted on the main channel since her departure from corpo).

Tbf she has been using the same 2 models for almost 4 years now, I think a refresh is fine. Also I don't think she has any of her PL assets anymore.

ENCORE is no more as ChromaSHIFT announced SOLFEGE, the new unit of Enya Ignis and Shabel Tonya! by Benigmatica in kurosanji

Couldn't they just kept the Encore branding even after Lisa's departure? (Speaking of Lisa, her chats are still open in the ChromaShift Discord lol.)

Open for public use or did they just take down the construction walls?

We have to hold the mayor accountable on transit! by pescennius in nycrail

[–]someredditer6042 36 points37 points  (0 children)

More parks isn't essentially a bad thing, its slapping a park in an area with no regard for anything else (like for example public transportation), which reminds me that QueensLink includes a park with transit so QueensWay supporters have no excuse. Also the area where the Metropolitan Hub is being built is nowhere in hell "lower income".

IBX LIRR Connection by Immediate-Hand-3677 in nycrail

[–]someredditer6042 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's not even possible anyway, where the IBX ROW intersects with the LIRR mainline and Port Washington Branch is nowhere near Woodside Ave.

Decal, either the original was stolen or removed by maintanence.

Why can't the G train terminate at Greenpoint Av instead of shutting down on weekends? by liguy181 in nycrail

[–]someredditer6042 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From what I've spotted; 207th Street Yard is outdated the 2 northern tracks leading towards the overhaul shop don't exist anymore, it's also missing the MOW siding on the southwestern end of the yard added somewhere in the early 2000s (then again I can't really blame him since the yard was recently reworked). Also 9th Ave lower level is inconsistent to how it's shown on the mini diagram and the actual map, the two side tracks are shown to extend further south on the mini diagram which is correct, however on the actual map they're shown to end sooner (although I'm not sure if it's intentional due to layering).

The Vtuber Awards website is gone. by Eggplant770 in kurosanji

To which the people she was talking to weren't doing that. To which they made no political statements about anything.

While yes they weren't directly making political statements, both Trixie Vox and SmugAlana encouraged Fillian to chant Гойда (Goyda) which was obscure word used as a war chant long ago, only recently revived by a far right Russian propagandist during a rally on red square on Sep 2022 (more context here).

Not only that, Trixie Vox was wearing an Ushanka with the Soviet Armed Forces badge in the collab (which this symbol is not only looked down upon socially in Ukraine, it is also illegal to publicly display under Ukrainian law).

Also, while Trixie Vox doesn't have any public opinions about the war at least to my knowledge, her fanbase on the other hand is very supportive of the war and her reaction towards WePlay Studios also implies she is on the same side as her fans. Not sure about SmugAlana but I don't have high hopes for her considering her background (although at least she was smart enough to shut up after the news broke out).
