Glad to know that those 75fters of crap can't run along the Chrystie Street Cut or Nassau Street Line. Of course the V T/O's and C/R's are going to be pissed the same goes for the passengers!

It should be interesting, they want to use all the 160 8 car units on the V, and whats left of the 42's and 32's. 75 foot cars cant fit in the Crystie Cut. plus a 600 foot train wouldnt fit in Essex or anything north of it. I figure it would go from a 40 minute trip to a an hour and 5 minutes. V operators and conductors are pissed, and will likely go to the G. Lots of seniors T/O's and C/O's on the M and V.

That is going to be a headache!

Don't the tracks just...end after that station, train pulls in, picks up people, and heads back in the other direction?

@JamaicaQnzFreak Traveling on the Northeast Regional, (amtrak) we just went over the HellsGate Bridge and i saw a train station platform, and at the very end, the tracks just ended. of course not a sudden drop, it was securely gated off, and there was some kind of bumber at the end of the tracks so the train wouldn't go off. The Train was Slowly pulling in, and there were people waiting. I thought to myself, where does this train go from there? maybe this video isn't the station...
