The following MTA NYCT Subway service alert was posted this morning for the G train because of a “water condition” at the 21 St – Van Alst station:
Misery for the G
Water? At 21 St – Van Alst? YA THINK?!!?
These photos are from four years ago. So I hope they get right on that…
Apparently there was only one working up escalator this morning at PATH’s World Trade Center station. This, folks, sure looks like Pedestrian Level of Service F (LOS F).

Concurrent with the subway service revisions planned to take effect June 27, 2010, a new subway map edition will be released that does more than just reflect the changes in service. The new map will still closely resemble the current one, with the following significant design changes:

Weeks Marine Crane 552 in the Harlem River Ship Canal today
As I reported earlier today, the Weeks Marine crane 552 departed the 207 St subway yard after serving there for about nine years. The crane loaded all the reef-ready subway cars onto the Barge of Death. It also loaded the scrap trucks onto another barge for delivery to a scrap dealer. Here are some photos of the crane being pushed by Weeks tug Elizabeth through the canal and towards the Hudson River at around 1:20 PM today.
Photos taken by my wife. Thanks!!
WMATA is replacing the 2.5 inch tall car number stickers on the subway car sides with new 5 inch tall car number stickers (as seen in the photo above). This will make identifying the car numbers of the subway cars you photograph much easier. Click HERE to see a photo of the old, small numbers below the operator’s cab window.
What more can you ask for? How about car number stickers ON THE FRONT OF THE CARS!?! The LIRR does it right (see below).
LIRR #7772 wears its number proudly - UP FRONT, where it belongs!
Very interesting stuff. Though I’d really like to see a map of all the places mentioned. The graphic on the site only shows two of them.

These people do not belong in subway tunnels, and they should not be vandalizing public property. Let what happened to this kid be a lesson to others like him.
I know Robert and am very happy to see this result.
