The New York City Subway is entering a Plan V preparation mode, which means that New York City Transit will store trains underground starting tomorrow night to protect the subway car fleet from the elements. New York City Transit stores trains underground on express tracks, so this will impact express service at night and into the overnight hours.
Personnel are in place to clear platforms and stairs of snow. De-icers and snow throwers have been strategically deployed to focus on outdoor areas and open cuts that are the most susceptible to high snow accumulations.
Super-powered snow throwers, jet-powered snow-blowers, and de-icing cars - retired subway cars modified with tanks and other specialized equipment to spray de-icing fluid on the third rail - were deployed starting Friday night. Select trains were also equipped with scraper shoes to keep ice off the third rails.
