ASS: Assorted Subway Shenanigans
NYC’s subways will be shutting down overnight this week because they are fucking gross. Srsly. I mean, yes, NY Post, but also, Srsly.
Cuomo, DeBlasio and the MTA should never have let the subways becoming rolling trash dumpsters filled with homeless people (who deserve better). It should not have taken a pandemic for these motherfuckers to try to correct a situation that is ugly for everyone involved. This situation has been growing for many years. I guess at least now they’ll have a chance to scoop up the dead bodies before the press photogs get their tabloid photos, or they start to rot and become a feast for the starving rodents.
In terms of exploring, the overnight closure actually makes running track significantly more dangerous in regards to legal ramifications. Instead of violating transit rules by going in tunnels, they will likely charge you with Criminal Trespassing, and maybe even B&E. We saw this during the blackout after Hurricane Sandy (when several explorers had a run in with cops lurking at a station, at least one being caught and charged with B&E).
When will the subway reopen overnight? Will the MTA actually clean the fuck out of these stations, or will they just use the closure to cover up a significant lack of cleaning? Will homeless people finally be given proper shelter? Will the city finally start opening shelters in wealthy neighborhoods instead of dumping the homeless in obscure corners of queens? Time will tell.
Anyway, it seems people are still wandering the tracks and occasionally paying their fare to the tunnel gods. This weekend an unknown tunnel wanderer was cut in half by a PATH train as s/he wandered near 23rd street station. Can’t fuck with those PATH tunnels the clearances are tighter than Melania’s unused PUSSY.
To close on a significantly happier note, DeBlasio’s stupid ass BQX project is probably dead now. Fuck you EDC, fuck you. Take your Hipster YIMBY Express and shove it up your candy asses.
Floyd Bennett Bus Parking
I haven’t gotten down to NYC’s former military airport in awhile, but it sounds like the MTA has filled part of it with buses. I was a little curious where the hell all the buses previously stored at various terminals around town had disappeared to.
…Speaking of Vehicle Storage
Union Pacific (UP) railroad has caught the eye of some Salt Lake City reporters for their storage of at least 200 older locomotives in a rail yard just outside of town. These locomotives are generally at the end of their 20-30 year lives, and have been phased out due to UP running longer trains, thus eliminating the need for these older locomotives. UP isn’t alone in this, as nearly all major railroads in the US have incorporated “Precision” train ops, eliminating the need for huge portions of their fleets.
Also File under Storage
Back here in NYC, officials have finally decided that mass graves and U-Hauls full of corpses are a bad idea, and instead have parked a bunch of refrigerated trailers in Sunset Park to keep the dead chilling until The Chef can embalm their asses.
Also shout out to the media outlets for running further with this story—I definitely didn’t want to link the garbage publication owned by an anti-union retard that seemed to break this news first.

Garbage cops in Louisville, KY arrested a Bonnie and Clyde pair for painting some awesome left wing roller graffiti across the cities’ overpasses.
