If the (4) has to go north of 167th to relay, why can't they terminate at 167 instead of 161?

IDK... Wasnt always like this though... Way back when they would run the (4) between 149th and Utica, with shuttle train service single-tracking between 161 and 149.

Gone are the days when they did relay moves to get to the right track anytime there was a service disruption south of 149th St - 3rd Ave.

I'm feeling nostalgic from the time the 2's had to do back up moves in and aound Jackson Av. Thank god for the extra switches and signals?

That was done during the time the track was being rehabbed, and replacing the concrete roadbed at each station where the Mezzanines were located under the track.

Do you remember when 4 service was stopping in the middle track and at a temporary platform?

Transit is petrified to allow a train to move in the wrong direction outside of General Orders. Even WITH signal protection. Switches are just for work trains and show.

Heh. The good old days when half the tracks were red-flagged ... brake softly and carry a big stick. Pass it along to the next guy. :)

I am enjoying the colorful banter between the obviously Italian workers around the crane. It's right out of RAW, complete with "fuckin' moolies".

The crosstown still uses them for their single track GOs.
