you know its gonna be good when elmeister uploads

[@ianmilillo8491]

Hey Elmeister, what’s up man? Good to see you back in the city. By any chance, are you gonna be doing the 6 train soon? Just wondering

[@the_elmeister]

@@ianmilillo8491 for right now I’m trying to knock out some stuff with Brighton since Brighton express service will be suspended soon for several months

[@ianmilillo8491]

@@the_elmeister Oh are they renovating it or something?

[@the_elmeister]

@@ianmilillo8491yes. Church Avenue is being renovated to allow for wheelchair accessibility and with this installation, they are required to close the Church Avenue station and suspend express service on Brighton. That is why I am not doing the 6 until after I cover the B and Q.

[@the_elmeister]

And even then, the 6 is not on my priority list right now, the 3 is because I might be visiting a relative on New Lots Av soon and she lives by the 3. It has been over a year since I’ve went on the 3.

@@the_elmeister Ah gotcha. I can’t to see the finished work on the Westchester Square station

Rare catch

Were the r143s borrowed from the l line?

[@the_elmeister]

So about that, the R143s are assigned to ENY yard, that’s where all J, M & L trains are stored. Most of them run on the L, but some of them on some occasions will run on the J as well. That’s why you see a strip map for both the J and L trains in those cars.
