Yesterday marked the beginning of the first MTA FASTRACK program.
Part of the 4, 5, 6 line is closed this week from 10 PM to 5 AM for inspections, maintenance, and upgrades to stations, tracks and signals. Over 700 people worked last night while part of the Lexington Avenue line was closed.
See pictures and learn more information about last night’s work.
As someone who works a late-enough shift and takes that line (the only one on the east side), I can tell you my fellow straphangers and I were not pleased. I quote everyone from 86th St, where the trains moved at a glacial pace before dead-ending at 42nd, “This fucking sucks.”
Bloomberg must have been pissed. He takes that train to and from work everyday.
