Posted by Michael549 on Wed Jun 21 16:30:38 2017, in response to Re: G Train Loop, posted by Stephen Bauman on Wed Jun 21 07:24:45 2017. From a previous message:"In most of these cases, the reversal occurs within a station." ------- During the mid-1970's one day there was an interesting G.O. on the #4 line near the 167th Street elevated station. Due to track work or something going at 161st Street-Yankee Stadium, uptown #4 trains left the 149th Street-Grand Concourse station on the middle track. The train having by-passed the 161st Street-Yankee Stadium station was on course to by-pass the 167th Street station, but I heard the conductor clearly announce that the next stop would be 167th Street! I was curious because that uptown #4 train DID by-pass the 167th Street station, and then stopped! Then the train started to REVERSE ITSELF - I realized by taking the switch track - to proceed BACKWARD WITH PASSENGERS into the 167th Street station platform, where it opened its doors as usual. Then that #4 uptown train then proceeded on its merry way to Wood-lawn Road! I remember that some of the other passengers on board were shocked that the train reversed itself - but I found the whole trip "interesting." Mike |
