I'll have to dig into those when I have some more time.719 is the most shocking one. I can't believe they have a train idling on a track in Jamaica for 5 minutes between 7:54 and 7:59 AM. In both Hempstead branch cases, I wonder if the scheduled dwell at Jamaica isn't intended as catch-up time for the possibility of major delay crossing over the Main Line at Queens Village during the middle of the peak periods. The train after 761 skips Queens Village and Hollis and has only the typical dwell scheduled at Jamaica. In the cases of 2859 and 761, it could also have to do with access to the Flatbush tracks being blocked by eastbound trains from Penn using the "westbound express" track and not using the flyover when approaching Jamaica from the west. Lots of trains from Penn do that during the PM rush. |
