I’m in an R train at city hall.  We’re being held here because of a track fire south of  Rector St.  They said FDNY is on scene.
They’re telling us to get off and go uptown to canal.  All downtown traffic on the Broadway line is going over the bridge.
Side note, apparently NJT and LIRR are [...]

Following an Earlier Incident…

Posted on June 9th, 2008 by Todd in Transit Failures

“Following an earlier incident 2,3,4 and 5 train service has resumed with residual delays.”
They kept telling us there was a “track event” at 138th street.  I was stuck on a 4 train for 20 minutes between 59th and 86th st.  I had it good though, the car had A.C.  The people waiting at 86th were [...]

Annoying Subway People (Part 3)

1.  Zig-Zaggers.  These are the people who can’t walk a straight line tosave their life.  They weave back and forth and eventually make it to where they’re going.  Is it indecision?  Is it lack of knowledge?  [...]

There was an alleged suicide at 86th ST on the 6 uptown line. The train is stopped halfway into the station.  Details are limited at this time, but expect delays on that line.

I rode in a new Subway train today.  I tried to look it up in the MTA website, but what do you know, most of the MTA site isn’t working!  Ha!  If that’s not classic, I don’t know what is. 
A word about the new trains: Sweet. 
They’ve got a new suspension system that uses “air-bags,” but [...]
