FRIDAY UPDATE: All weekend work has been canceled EXCEPT…………the 7 train. I assume this means that the Q train is still extended to Ditmars Blvd. Other than that, wish me luck in DC in 2 1/2 ft of snow this weekend! The map is updated for the weekend cancellations. Cheers!

Welcome back railfans. I am going to have an adventure on the rails this evening (Friday) as I had plans to drive down to DC with friends tonight. Well now, the roads are going to be damn near impassable so I have a ticket on board to 9:05 Amtrak run to DC. There is certainly a chance this could go all wrong but if anything is going to push through this big ‘ol storm, it’s a train. Speaking of which, be prepared for the MTA to cancel weekend service changes if there is significant snowfall in the city. Although like December’s storm, it is expected to be worse in NJ and on LI. If the work goes ahead as planned, it basically resembles last weeks. No G train. No 7 train on 42nd St and LIC. No 5 train in the Bronx. No R train in Lower Manhattan/Downtown Brooklyn. Plus some other changes. Click below to get the full picture. And since the Big Easy is my second favorite city after the Big Apple, Let’s Go Saints! Happy Tracks New York!
