The outcome of it was that during the midday, the (F) was suspended between Avenue X and Coney Island. The MTA had hoped that maybe they would restore the service by rush-hour, but it didn’t happen. It would not be restored until just before AM Rush Hour in the morning. As a result, {F} Express Train service was suspended during PM Rush Hour in Brooklyn and that made my decision on what to do in PM Rush much easier. Following this ride, I would go to the scene of the derailment from the (Q) Line and significant progress was made. So I hope you guys enjoy this ride as we take a journey through the Bronx, Manhattan and Brooklyn, as it was a smooth journey.
