No, I mean when you are in the first car, they stop and sit for a spell. Then it goes into the station. By the time you get upstairs, you hear the foghorn and are staring at the back of the boat!
This station was built in a time when trains are much shorter than they are today. So this station only fits the first 5 cars. I hope that answers your question. Also, to everyone, be on the lookout because MTA is building a new and better South Ferry station (that's straight and fits 10 cars) and might be equipped with platform screen doors. Then the outer loop will be used as a storage track, i think.
first of all, the 5 does not use R142As, and second of all, the 1 runs every 2 to 5 minutes, so whenever a 5 train does cross that loop, there will always be a 1 train blocking it

He means if you try to look at it from the 1 platform, not like which tracks the train run on.

(Reply to thesubwaynut regarding 5 train)
That's not true. The one (1) does not use the inner loop or blocks the 5 line in any way.

Would someone videotape a 5 train using the inner loop to bypass South Ferry please?
If possible, tape it as an R142A.
