FRIDAY UPDATE: Well this was to be expected since Central Park registered 21 inches of snow in the past two days (a figure that seems higher than the actual snow on the ground) but all weekend subway work has been canceled and there will be normal weekend service. Rejoice Carroll Gardens! For those who are unfamiliar, just click on the right for regular weekend service. While that will decrease traffic to the site, it will help everyone getting around this weekend. Happy Tracks New York!

SATURDAY UPDATE: The Q train is NOT running to Ditmars Blvd and is terminating normally at 57 St. Sorry 7 train riders. Secondly, you can now sign up for
email alerts and receive updates whenever the map is changed. Also, look for SubwayWeekender on Facebook. Thanks!
Hey everyone. It’s another weekend of work for the MTA. I actually think it’s a pretty light weekend with most work being minor or late night stuff. However, there are still MAJOR changes to the 7, F, and G. The 7 is still stuck in Queens. The G is out of commission. And the F is out between Jay St and Church Ave. This severely limits the transit options in Gowanus, Cobble Hill, and surrounding neighborhoods. And to make matters in Gowanus worse? The Union St. bridge is out too. Happy Tracks New York!

Welcome Back NYC. Sorry for the late Friday update. I was waylaid by a complete change in work on the 8th Ave and 7th Ave lines between yesterday and today so I had to completely redraw the route of the 1, 2, A, C, D, and E. After all that, things should be correct but as this goes to show. These service changes are subject to change. Also of note this week is the beginning of an eighteen month project (at least) of rehabbing stations on the Pelham Line. This week, Morrison-Sound View Aves and Whitlock Ave stations were shut down for at least six months. This change is on the regular service map as well. Finally, it is a three-day weekend and some service changes will apply on Monday as well. The following trains WILL have service disruptions on Monday the same as Saturday and Sunday:
7, A, C, D, G, N, Q, R, 42 St Shuttle.
Happy Tracks New York!

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!
