About 800 Feet of Third Rail Is Missing From R Line Tracks Between 86 & 95th St in Brooklyn |
|
Posted by heypaul on Mon Oct 24 07:37:31 2016 Over the weekend it was discovered that approximately 800 feet of third rail was missing on the R line in Brooklyn. What made the discovery even more amazing was that service through the area was unaffected. Police believe that this may have been an inside job. |

You think that's bad, what about the entire third shuttle track being missing between GC and TS for what, 75-80 years or so, and service wasn't affected on that line either. |

The track is still there under the platform, service will be returned once Times Square shuttle is reconfigured under the next Capital Plan.And of course I can sell you the Brooklyn Bridge dirt cheap... |

Actually, when T/Sq shuttle is reconfigured, it will only have 2 tracks, tks 1 and 3. Tk 4 will be eliminated entirely and the remaining shuttle trains will be in 5 car consists providing the exact same passenger capacity as the current 3 trains. Currently there aerobe X 3 car trains and 1 X 4 car train for a total of 10 cars. When Tk 4 is eliminated, there will be 2 X 5 car trains for the same total of 10 cars, the same passenger capacity. Wit 2 T/Os on each train, the frequency will be about the same as at present plus, many passengers opt not to use tk 4 anyhow since it is the fastest away from both the IRT and BMT west side lines. |

I was told that as part of this project the platforms at TS will be straightened. How will this affect the landmarked areas, including:- 1904 tiled walls on the original NB platform - 1904 platform pillers, both NB & SB platforms Will this project narrow, or eliminate entirely the wonderful view into the NB B'way-7th ave. tunnel? hope not. Thanks. |

If it is not dropped from the next Capital Plan. The reconfigure has been dropped from the plan for the past two capital plans (10 years) that I know of. |

I don't think it will affect your two 1904 items. IINM there have been plans posted publicly. |

With only 2 tracks, the museum train leaving from there will really slow down service to only 1 track. |

Not true. It is true that "Drebin" and "inbred" are anagrams. A palindrome reads the same forwards and backwards: "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama." |

Thanks for the explanation. Wasn't suggesting it might have been a palindrome in my post, I was just having fun with the word spelled backwards. You know how, sometimes in a parody, there's a peculiar sounding name of a character, company, etc., and when you spell it backwards, one of the in-jokes of the parody is revealed.And yeah, I think the Panama palindrome is great! |

Sounds similar to Peter Seller’s Clouseau character which sounds an awful like a French version of the word “klutz." |
