5445 had F40's on both ends tonight. 4124 was the unit on the east end. I didn't catch the unit on the west end, but based on what's still rolling, I suspect it was 4120. They are bracketing 7 comets.

I wonder how ridership at that time of day is, anyway? I wonder if the plan IS to increase this to prime-time? Or is it strictly off-hours?
If it's posted earlier, my apologies for missing it.

After this happens, we'll see what happens (and I suspect, so will they.) They know it has to happen at some point... just how it will happen is a mystery.

My question is this: Obviously there are no tunnel slots during the peak of the peak in the peak direction. But are there reverse peak slots or non-peak of peak slots? (arriving before 7am/after 9am, leaving before 4:30pm/after 7pm)
