Weekend work impacting 16 subway lines

Somewhere around the 7th inning, as I sat in a damp Yankee Stadium this evening after waiting out a 73-minute rain delay, I realized that not only had I not prepared this post but I was on the verge on being stuck in the Bronx without my usual route home. When I checked the service advisory email, you see, I learned that the 4 train — my usual route home — was set to stop running into Brooklyn at 11:45 p.m. last night, and the N, Q and R trains were all going to head east via the Montague St. Tunnel. So a D train ride later, I made it back to the County of Kings. It certainly could have been worse.

Anyway, that’s my roundabout way of apologizing for posting these after all of the work has already begun. Note that we have another Fix & Fortify weekend on tap for the G train. But enough talk; let’s dive in.
