Bringing the "Brown R" back as (K)

Posted by Wallyhorse on Tue Nov 29 09:10:32 2016, in response to Re: Overnight R Train to Whitehall? Why?, posted by randyo on Mon Nov 28 15:47:01 2016.

edf40wrjww2msgDetail:detailStr
We've had quite a discussion elsewhere of bringing back the "Brown " as a new "Brown (K)" train to help with the problems the (R) has along 4th Avenue. As it would work here:

The Jamaica line would actually be what the (J) was for a brief period after 9/11 in running from Archer Avenue-Jamaica Center to 95th Street-Bay Ridge, BUT with it being a split line where both the (J) and (K) terminate at Chambers and that being the transfer point between the two lines.

The (J) coming from Archer Avenue would come in on the "downtown express" track at Chambers. A southbound (K) train would be waiting for it on the "downtown local" track and would leave once passengers have completed the cross-platform transfer between the two lines, with the (J) then doing the relays as it did for many years when it terminated there on weekends.

The (K) coming from 95th Street-Bay Ridge would come in on the "uptown local" track. A northbound (J) / (Z) train would be waiting for it on the "uptown express" track and would leave once passengers have completed the cross-platform transfer between the two lines. The (K) would then doing the relay to the "downtown local" track immediately after the (J) / (Z) heading for Jamaica Center leaves Chambers to be in place for when the next (J) / (Z) train arrives at Chambers.

The only exceptions to this format would be where:

As this "Brown (K)" would be limited to a maximum of 8 TPH, during rush hours (when the (J) / (Z) are at 12 TPH), a limited number of (J) trains would be extended to Broad Street, terminating and starting back there during rush hours.

(K) trains that are going to or coming from East New York Yard would either continue to or begin at Broadway Junction and run in service to and from there.

That to me would work.

Let's say we're waiting at 4 Av-9 St at 3 AM tomorrow morning.

The way it's scheduled now, the R arrives first going northbound along Fourth Avenue. The N follows three minutes later and the D about two to three minutes later. They would end up having to wait behind the R if they don't rewrite the schedules.

They could write up new timetables, but that has effects well beyond the southern BMT.

edf40wrjww2msgDetail:detailStr
The problem is the (R) gets held up elsewhere by too many switches and other lines. Some of this should alleviate with the (Q) running on the SAS, however, it's still a big problem with sometimes very long gaps in service on the (R) that have been well-chronicled here and elsewhere (especially where sometimes there is as much as a 45-minute gap between (R) trains!). This (K) would eliminate that issue because it would be one-half of a split route with the (J) between Bay Ridge and Jamaica (with both halves terminating at Chambers).

The main purpose of the (K) is to get riders in Bay Ridge and along 4th Avenue local stations to the various transfer points, including:

(A) (C) (F) at Jay-Metrotech
(A) (C) (2) (3) (4) (5) at Fulton Street
(B) (Q) at Dekalb
(B) (D) (N) (Q) (2) (3) (4) (5) at Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center
(D) (N) at 36th Street
(F) (G) at 4th Avenue-9th Street
(2) (3) (4) (5) at Court Street
(4) (5) (6) at Chambers Street

This doesn't even include the (R) that obviously can be transferred to anywhere up to Court Street or the late-night (N) that also can be transferred to anywhere between 59th Street and Court Street in Brooklyn.

Those wanting to continue to Jamaica can then do a simple transfer to the (J) at Chambers in this format.

This (K) (former "Brown R") fixes a lot of issues.

Not that many new ones.

If properly executed, the (K) would do its relay from the north to the southbound track immediately after the (J) heads north to Jamaica with the intention of being on the
"southbound local" track ahead of a (J) arriving at Chambers on the "southbound express" track (the (J) in this format would relay like it did on weekends for many years at Chambers). Only exceptions as noted are a handful of rush-hour (J) and (Z) trains that continue to Broad and start back from there and (K) trains on a yard run that would continue to or begin in service at Broadway Junction.

This has LITTLE to actually do with lower Manhattan:

Chambers just happens to be the easiest spot to terminate such a (K) train that would a supplement to the (R) in Brooklyn and replace it entirely late-nights.

You find the cars, or extend the service orders on the R179s to accommodate the additional (K) service. Most likely, you would continue to use the R32s and R42s on the (J) as needed in rush hours ONLY until enough cars are in place with the additional line to scrap them.

Also, this (K) would be a maximum of 8 TPH as it first and foremost would be a supplement to the (R).

Wallyhorse,

I understand your reasons for wanting the creation of the (K) train - a basic re-creation of the Brown-R train of yesteryear. I understand why you want this K-train to run at all times, and to replace the midnight hours R-train shuttle.

I disagree on the shortening of the J and Z trains to Chambers Street to accomplish your goals, where you would require J & Z riders to transfer to and from K trains to reach Fulton Street or Broad Street. I view that as a major short-coming of your plans.

Major strides had been made at the MTA to get the Broad Street and Fulton Street stations open 24/7/365 and the J-train servicing those stations 24/7/365. Those were important gains made.

I would prefer that J & Z trains continue to service Fulton Street and Broad Street 24/7/365 without any back-sliding and/or requiring J & Z riders to have to transfer trains as they had to for decades on the weekends and late nights - when J-trains ended at Canal Street and Chambers Street.

The original rush hours only Brown-R train did not require a shortening of J or Z train service. Your new K-train service would help Lexington Avenue subway riders reach Brooklyn when due to Joralemon Street tunnel repairs weekend #4 trains do not travel to and from Brooklyn. Your new K-train service could easily speed up the commutes of south Brooklyn riders. These kinds of benefits do not have to come at the expense of J & Z train northern Brooklyn riders.

Mike

As noted, the way it would be done here, would be a simple, cross-platform transfer that would be done where the connecting train is already there.

I also noted in rush hours, as this (K) would be maxed at 8 TPH, there would be a limited number of (J) / (Z) trains that would continue to Broad and start back from there (usually up to 4 such TPH during peak hours).

You can't balkanize service like that that. 4 trains per hour in the rush is 15 minutes, which renders the service a novelty like the Rock Park shuttles. As for people off the M train, they already wind up transferring to the J along the way if headed downtown. You cant ask them to change again.

That would be too confusing for the much higher number of riders who use the M in Manhattan and North Queens versus the riders who use the A in South Queens. It's why the W was put back into service - it would have been confusing to have the Q going to both 2nd Avenue and Astoria (along with keeping the N local full time in Manhattan).

And why can't a similar argument be made that the letter T "belongs" to any service running on the 2nd Ave Line in the same vein that M "belongs" to any service operating out of Metro?

If they're reviving a 6th ave operation it should be the letter V. No one remembers it anyway.

Re: Bringing the ''Brown R'' back as (K)

The idea is the (J) going north or (K) going south does NOT leave until the connecting train arrives (lone exceptions being the handful of (J) trains to/from Broad to fill in the gaps in rush hours when the (K) is maxed at 8 TPH and (K) trains coming from/going to East New York Yard that begin or end at Broadway Junction). The connections allow for the other train to start back to its base.

That looks to be the case now.

It is ridiculous that no one thought of that situation when they rebuilt Montague.

How many minutes do they wait for a late connection?

Wouldn't waiting for a late connection cause the next train to wait in between stations to get in?

You need a certain amount of recovery time.

"not leaving until the connecting train arrives" is for LIRR and MN Scoots and Shuttles, not a rapid transit operation. It does not even work for the Rockaway Park or 95th Street R shuttles.

All this hoopla for bringing back the letter K and the Brown R.

But then again, he wants to turn the entire B Division into one giant reverse-branched mess!

Please you have not seen some of Wallyhorse's other grand schemes. This one is one of his simplest ideas!

Would you believe that if he could he'd send the M-train to the Bronx!

I'm joking!

Actually Wallyhorse has not proposed that one yet - but give him time.

Just extend the J during rush hours...
