Why? I'd like to think they were restoring the A1 and A2 tracks between Ocean Parkway and W8, but that's a pipe dream.

Switch replacement entering Stillwell.

IDK if they're doing the F, but for the Q it's a safety factor for the F: as you replace components if anything falls thru the structure it can strike an F train below as they are working upstairs.

Safety is paramont.

I no longer have access to GO's to check the scope of work.

Reason why for 10 day G/O on (B) (Q) (F): No service bet. Coney Island & Brighton Beach // Avenue X

Posted by Gold_12th on Fri Nov 21 12:54:17 2014, in response to 10 day G/O on (B) (Q) (F): No service bet. Coney Island & Brighton Beach // Avenue X, posted by Gold_12th on Tue Nov 18 11:00:34 2014.

MTA NYC Transit will be performing a major switch renewal and maintenance related work on the (B) (Q) (F) lines in Brooklyn. For two consecutive weeks beginning 11:00 p.m. Friday, November 21 until 5:00 a.m. Monday, December 1, (F) trains will be suspended in both directions between Coney Island-Stillwell Av and Avenue X, and (Q) trains will be suspended in both directions between Coney Island-Stillwell Av and Brighton Beach. Free shuttle buses will provide alternate service between Coney Island-Stillwell Av and all affected stations between Avenue X on the (F) line, and Brighton Beach on the (B) (Q) lines.

This critical switch renewal project south of the West 8 St-NY Aquarium subway station is essential to the safe operation of trains along the Sea Beach corridor. The switch was originally installed in 1987. In NYC Transit’s ongoing efforts to ensure the subway system remains in a state of good repair, workers will take advantage of the 24/7 uninterrupted access to this section of track to complete this vital maintenance project during the upcoming two week closure. Other maintenance work will also include the installation of new track panels along the elevated (B) (Q) (F) line structure. This work is part of NYC Transit’s ongoing Capital Rebuilding Program aimed at upgrading and maintaining our tracks, stations and signal systems in order to continue to provide our customers with safe and reliable service.

We realize this will be an inconvenience to our customers, however this work is vital to improve the future reliability of service along the (B) (Q) (F) lines. “We appreciate the community’s patience as we complete this important switch replacement project, and necessary track maintenance work. Our goal is to complete this work as quickly and efficiently as possible,.” said NYC Transit President Carmen Bianco.

This is the exact same GO they had on the Brighton and Culver lines when the crossovers were replaced in 1987ish.
