Worst congestion ever last night - trains backed up on the bridge, all the way to 23rd St (N/Q)!! |

Posted by BrooklynTrain on Sat Dec 16 12:56:28 2017 Took over 2 hours to get home last night at 11:30pm from 23rd St (N/Q) to Bay Ridge. N & Q trains were literally stopped dead and sitting in stations from 23rd St all the way downtown & over the bridge. Nothing was moving at all. Conductor made an announcement that there was extreme congestion on bridge. I checked on SubwayTime and saw there were still severely delayed southbound R trains running at 12:30am that were stuck somewhere on 4th Ave (which were due at 95th by midnight).When the N finally got to 59th around 1am, I saw from SubwayTime there were 3 N's immediately in front of us, and then I saw 4 N's in a row, pulling in, back to back to back to back. Of course we just missed the 12:56am single-track shuttle to Bay Ridge, so the long wait for the next shuttle happened. Announcements were being made in Manhattan for *uptown* passengers to take the 4 or 6 due to severe delays in N & Q service. Of course there were no N & Q's running uptown, since they were all stuck in a massive HOUR-PLUS DEAD STOP going downtown. We understand track work needs to occur. But you don't just shut down all train traffic for over an hour where trains come to a dead stop. Everything was forced over the bridge and everything was forced thru 4th Ave local, so there were no reroutes via tunnel or 4th Ave express that could have alleviated the jam. The Governor and Mr. Lhota need to offer an explanation for last night's absolute FIASCO. I'll be contacting the newspapers & politicians over last night. |
