On a positive note, after the F/G gets shut down the 3/31-4/2 (5AM) weekend from Hoyt/Jay to 18th Ave., the trains will cross over to the local track entering 4th Ave. and will resume stopping @ 15th St./PPK and Ft. Hamilton Pky. stations. On at least one night beforehand (as power gets turned on) test trains will be ran, both 60' and 75' cars to check clearances and train to platform alignment, esp. @ 4th Ave. No doubt TGC 3 or 4 (or both) will visit too. The hardrail connection leaving Carroll St. and operation on 3 track to 4th Ave. will stay till Smith/9th is re-opened.G trains will begin to relay at 18th Ave., as Church Ave. Yard will be taken out of service for switch/track work as well as work to install new signals/cables. Finally, the E/G/M/7 transfer @ CSQ is also scheduled to re-open in time for the AM rush on 4/2 as Court Sq. station on the #7 should re-open. So far I have heard nothing about that not happening. |

They got no chice on CSQ they station looks nearly complete, they have to add concrete to some areas and the new windscreen but thats about it, Hunter Point looks incredibly different, nice and clean, beautiful station. |

The contractors got a nice break with the mild winter weather this year, with both the viaduct work and the CSQ #7 work. |

G trains will begin to relay at 18th Ave.Maybe they should make that permanent for rush. That would prevent trains to be backed up because of fumigation of G trains at Church. |

Then you need a supervisor and a crew facility at 18th Ave. since you are making it a terminal. |

I don't know the rules about supervisors but can't the crew changes and facilities remain at Church? (Either inbound or outbound, whichever is more convenient operation wise)Again, I'm thinking only about those hours the F is running 15tph. Other times, the G can turn at Church. |

Its either 9TH ST or CHURCH.. |
