Snow knocks out weekend service changes

By now, this morning’s blanketing of snow has turned to mush, and really, that wasn’t too bad. The Brighton Line suffered a few delays due to a problem unrelated to snow, and the surface transportation was sluggish. But the city’s subways weathered the storm this morning with grace and aplomb.
Meanwhile, things this weekend weren’t supposed to be so nice and neat. The West Side was due to run amok, and the F was set to run in strange and confusing ways, and NYCT was going to reroute the Q in order to start the “emergency replacement of rubbing board along track.”
But the snow knocked that out, and weekend service is running normally. Never mind that normal weekend service usually includes 8-10 service changes; this weekend, you can have your West Side express trains. Travel safely.

As an F train guy, the snow made my life easier this weekend. Plus I got the benefit of forced exercise by shoveling the steps courtyard and sidewalk.
Win, win.
When are they going to start tearing Jay Street to pieces? There’s an awful lot of orange paint on the walls.
Probably as soon as they finish installing the new lighting on the F tracks. They seem to be mostly done with the NB side but the SB side still needs more work. Lots of F to Euclid in the future.
