List of crossovers/unders |
|
|
Posted by SPUI on Wed Mar 30 15:34:57 2005 I have started on a list of crossovers on the system. Any help would be appreciated; feel free to edit the page directly. |

At first I was marking those N/A, but they really don't make much of a difference except for ease of use and handicapped accessibility. Anyway that information is easily available. |

"I chaged 2 stations on the Astoria Line to Y because the crossover is behind the booth." Meaning it's free, right? nycsubway.org says otherwise, but it may have changed. Thanks again for all who have helped - I wasn't expecting anything so soon. |

I didn't need more stuff to procrastinate with!Do you want to make a special indication for stations that have no entry in one direction? (The only ones I'm aware of are 145 on the 3 and 238 on the 1, with no northbound entry.) |

The Chicago "L" map actually marks that at one station, but the MTA map does no such thing. Feel free to include that in the list if you so desire.I'm assuming southbound exiting is allowed? |

Yes, although southbound exiting at 145 is a pain: since only the first five cars platform at that station, you need to be in the front section of the train to exit, but the only entrance at 148 (which is oriented east-west along 149, but that's a different topic) is at the far rear end of the train. Now that the last of the R-62A singles have departed, it is no longer possible on the 3 to walk past the C/R's position on the train, so if you're going from 148 to 145, it's better to let a train go if you can't run down the platform past the C/R in time.That said, I doubt that's a common trip. It's probably most common among those who were trying to get to 145 northbound but were in the rear section. Well, now they're in the front! |

Ack, sorry, I was confused by your term "crossover". I generally ask the question if there is or isn't a mezinine level.You should classify the stations to either being Island, Penusulas or having a mezzinine. |

Posted by David of Broadway on Wed Mar 30 21:24:21 2005, in response to Re: List of crossovers/unders, posted by SPUI on Wed Mar 30 21:14:15 2005. Some corrections/comments (do what you want with them):Both historically and operationally, the F crosses from IND territory to BMT territory between Church and Ditmas. Only the BMT part of the line is called the Culver -- the IND section south of Bergen is sometimes called the South Brooklyn line (and is sometimes treated as part of the Crosstown line, although I don't think that's very accurate). Historically, the A crosses from IND territory to BMT territory at Grant Avenue (which was built as part of the connection), and the Rockaway branches were originally LIRR. They're treated as IND today, though. Also, just to clarify, the Sea Beach line is open south of 86th Street. Regularly scheduled N trains don't run through to Stillwell in service because Stillwell is short one platform until May, but the tracks are often used for GO's, reroutes, light moves, etc. |

Also, the V is omitted from your list of IND lines.The 63rd Street connection (which obviously postdates unification) connects to both the IND and the BMT at the Manhattan end, although the latter isn't currently used in regularly scheduled service. |

The IND part is now being called the Culver at least to Bergen Street (page 43 on this PDF, and page 140 clearly puts Smith-9th on it). The map is mainly intended to show service patterns, and thus isn't fully accurate about where each section originated. Thanks for the catch on the V - that should be in the next update. |

The MTA has adopted "Culver Line" as the line name at least from Bergen Street south, as SPUI said, for identification and contract purposes. But you are historically correct. |

These signs identify the line and track layout and the location of the nearest emergency exit. On these signs the line is refered to as the 6 Avenue Line. Larry, RedbirdR33 |

It would be very useful to tourists if NYCT were to publish a list like this. I have been caught by 'one side only' entrances to the subway (and I am a raifan), because my 'home' subway system (London) always has access to all platforms from all entrances, and one can always turn back the other way inside fare control. I am sure other foreigners are more likely than me to be caught this way.Even better would be to publicise the list of stations where you *can't* turn back. |

The signs at the entrances list whatever restrictions you need to know"That's true. But tourists from out of town, or out of the country, don not necessarily read these signs in every detail, and may not understand their implications anyway. You're a New Yorker and used to the subway. Visitors are not. A clear sign saying "Do not enter here if you are heading downtown" or some such could be quite helpful. A sign on the uptown platform saying "You cannot cross to the downtown platform at this station - continue to XXX station if you need to croreverse direction" might be some help too. |

Determining reverse movements from within the system when you've just gotten off a train can be a different story.Most experienced NYC subway riders know that if there's fare control on platform level, i.e. no mezzanine, you can't reverse direction without paying another fare- unless you're carrying an Unlimited, of course. But there are a few stations with complete mezzanines and fare control on a separate level from the platform where you STILL can't turn around without exiting the system- even if just for a few seconds. I fell for this one time when I tried to turn around at 33rd on the 7, which appears to be a typical mezzanined el station. But the fare controls are set up in such a way that you exit the system as soon as you reach the bottom of the stairs from the platform. This is known as Dual Fare Control. Most mezzanines- both above and below ground- are located mostly or entirely within fare control. In some cases you may be allowed to turn around within fare control only at one extremity or the other, such as at Elmhurst and Grand on the R. Since that time, 33rd and 46th do allow reversal of direction within fare control, but 40th still doesn't. It looks like the fare controls on mezzanines of the Astoria el 'local' stops were altered to allow free reversal by a narrow passageway behind the booths. At first glance it looks like you can't do it. Briarwood/Van Wyck on the F has had Dual Fare Control since a police precinct now takes up the area of the mezzanine where such reversals would take place. There are signs at the bottom of the stairs from the platforms clearly stating this. No such signs exist at 75th Avenue, which has a full-length IND mezzanine, the center of which is within fare control and the peripheries outside fare control for the entire length. So you can't turn around there either. The same arrangement exists at 163rd on the C. Remember when the street level fare control at 72nd/Broadway was under renovation? Between roughly '98 and '02, there was Dual Fare Control. This caused endless confusion for people who assumed it was a typical four-track two-platform express stop with easy reversal of direction. It was made worse when a weekend GO had only express service one way or the other through 72nd. Some conductors didn't help matters by telling passengers to transfer at 72nd for bypassed stops. Another common trap occurs at 1st Avenue on the L where there's a small mezzanine a few steps up from platform level but still below street level. At least the NYC subway system allows free reversal at all terminals. PATH doesn't at Newark, nor does the MFL at 69th. On a trip to Boston in May '88, I discovered the same held true at the end of the Blue Line at Wonderland and the Red Line at Mattapan. A few months after that, I learned that MBTA introduced some kind of Unlimited arrangement. I was NOT happy. |

And what's seen on the service info pages on the MTA site? And the individual schedules online? Is there a reason for this inconsistency? Was it originally a J-only stop?Strangely, the J/Z skip stops don't match at all to the A/B (15/14, then QJ/JJ, then QJ/KK, then simply two variants of the J) skip stops insituted in 1959. Was there a time after 1976 when there was no skip-stop service? |

The signs are generally clear and explicit, but they violate an assumption that many visitors have, so they should probably be more prominent. |

I never understood why the designated northbound-to-southbound transfer point was 79th rather than 72nd. Neither one had a crossover, but the transfer at 72nd could have been done without GO transfers and without requiring passengers to cross a busy street. And for while, the designated southbound-to-northbound transfer point was 59th, even though 66th has a crossunder.One weekend in 2001 or 2002, northbound trains ran express from 72nd to 96th and southbound trains ran express from 72nd to Times Square. The service advisories stated that passengers trying to reach those trains from local stops should backtrack at 66th (or 59th) and 79th, respectively. When the 1 is cut back to 215th for a GO, there is no way to reverse direction without paying again. If you realize that you're going to miss your appointment in the Bronx because of the shuttle bus, so you give up and go back home, you still have to pay a second fare for your return trip. |

Oriented to true north, I see.Another thing. The E to 179 Street and the Rockaway Park A should both be listed as 1a. There probably should be a 3a and service note also. 3a Evenings until 21:00 only. |
