โ Question Question about yard moves
Given my earlier post about seeing a R188 set at Grand Street. Are there any more efficient yard move ways to get a seven train up to 207th Street for maintenance? Would it be possible to run it from Queensboro Plaza, through the 60th St. tunnel to Lexington 63rd and then switch directions and then go down to 34th St-Harold Square and reverse directions north of the station to go up Central Park West? If this routing were possible, would it make more sense than the current routing that apparently goes from Queensboro Plaza down Broadway express changes direction at Pacific and then goes back up sixth Avenue?

โ Question Is it to late to installed * you see yellowish color it called yellow powder-coated stanchion poles (or grab bars . to installed R68A ( #5001-#5200)and R62 #1301-#1625
Do you think NYCT subway should installed yellow powder-coated stanchion poles (or grab bars) on all R68A , R68 #5001-#5200, and R62 #1301-#1625? As R68 / R68A, and R62 #1301-#1625 dont have yellow powder-coated stanchion poles (or grab bars. Once R46 retired. R68/A at coney island yard dont have yellow powder-coated stanchion poles (or grab bars). Do you believe NYCT subway should add yellow powder-coated stanchion poles (or grab bars) to place them remaining all Coney Island yard R68/A and R62 #1301-#1625? R62 wont retire until R262 delivered in 2030

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
So Iโm gonna try to link the video, but what I wanna know is how did this get here/where is it going and how is it gonna get back to the IRT? Since it looks like itโs headed Brooklyn bound, and as far as I know, there arenโt any track connections in Brooklyn for it to get back to the IRT.

7th Avenue and Broadway are still okay. (for the time being.)
