We’re getting closer to Christmas. Without snow on the ground, it’s still easy to see that as weekend work has slowed to a crawl.
From 12:01 a.m. Saturday, December 15 to 5 a.m. Monday, December 17, Manhattan-bound A trains run local from Broadway Junction to Utica Avenue due to elevator work at Utica Avenue.

Finally, they’re installing elevators at Utica Ave.
Are they going to install elevators at Forest Hills-71 Ave any time soon?
Yes, they’re installing elevators at Forest Hills-71 Avenue Station now. Not sure of the timetable, but they’ve been working on this for nearly 6 months now.
Oh. I’d heard about it here: http://bkabak.wpengine.com/201.....-upgrades/ but I was not sure it the MTA was still working on the project.

Also, which switches, if any, exist at 167th Street?
I meant to ask, are there sidings?

I’m wondering why would there be a siding, that crosses 3 active tracks, in the first place
there is a better map: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2541531/468stations-842miles.pdf
That’s a very good full-size map of the NYC subway.
There is a flaw to the map, however. There is no distinguishing features between the revenue tracks and the non-revenue tracks. Also, where there are several levels to a station (e.g. the stations on the 8th Avenue Line between 59th St and 110th St) there is no indication of the division between levels. Overall, however, I like it
