Posted by SelkirkTMO on Mon Jun 23 13:57:35 2008, in response to Re: Second Ave Alignment Change, posted by R160 8818 on Mon Jun 23 13:31:39 2008. Southbound D, taken out of service at West 4th on the local track. Train had laid down on the interlocking as well at 2nd Avenue so my OOS got sent down Chrystie, supposedly to be turned at Delancy (a double lreverse move if I remember). But that wasn't to be either, so sent over the bridge to be turned at Myrtle. That also wasn't to be as a KK had laid down out there. Apparently they weren't used to 10 car trains over yonder and they just assumed it was a B and sent me up the upper Myrt. Surprise! Heh.Took a motor instructor and a dispatcher at Met to get me back out and headed back. But I had the outs on that one, I was *told* to proceed and outdoors, the radio worked fine. Kept telling them I was a D train, and I was aware that Met was "short" ... you can only tell dispatch twice that they're in for a world of hurt before "OK, genius" kicks in and you take the route. =) |
