From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday, August 6, downtown 4 trains skip Mosholu Parkway and Bedford Park Blvd. Our in-house signal team will be replacing switch machines* on switches south of Mosholu Parkway.

These switch machines are heavily used bringing trains in and out of the Mosholu Yard during the morning and evening rush hours. By replacing them, we can keep trains running safely and prevent delays during normal day to day operations.)

Looks like MTA is on damage control duty…
And I’m glad. They used to provide that information but they stopped with the new posters. Glad to have it back. It makes it all seem somewhat more palatable. (And helps the MTA with their promotion of “improving. non-stop.”
