1) yeh, somewhere around 10 mins.

2) either approaching, or at parkside... b/c the Q has to switch tracks...



like how you posed the question btw....

lol thanks, what was so great about the way i asked it though??

note: i think we all know a Q beats an R from 57th & 7th to dekalb, and probably by a hefty margin, so with that in mind, 2 parts to this question:

a Q & R both leave leave 57th & 7th at the same time (6:10 pm on a weeknight).
1) how many minutes AFTER the Q arrives at dekalb does the R finally arrive there
2) what station (or in between stations) is the Q at when the R arrives at dekalb

^^ the R aint that damn slow.. c'mon....


....you mean to tell me that if I took a Q train from 57th to Dekalb, I would wait 1/2 an hour for an R train to come @ Dekalb???

lmao...

think about it.

the R trains go like what 2 MPH at city hall because of the huge curve, and then again at rector street and white hall street, and the ride under the east river isn't really that nice either, and plus after that you have to deal with dekalb and all that crap.

even if its an R32 it will still be slower.

Because, it's a local and an R46 runs on the R, of course he's going to exaggerate.

^^ the Q would, but not by much... for the simple fact that the 4 train makes stops (plural) in lower manhattan... and it makes more stops in brooklyn before it gets to atlantic...

all the Q does after canal is hop on the bridge, takes it's time entering dekalb... and takes it's time entering atlantic...

The Q does crawl on the Manhattan Bridge. It slows down throug several switches entering Dekalb Avenue. However, it circumvents lower Manhattan. This could go either way.

^^ yup... that's what I was gettin at, in a nutshell...


he lets his disdain for a trainset cloud his judgments... you know, you try to talk sense to some people... get them to think a little...

*shrugs*


anyway, just to entertain the reply:



ok, and the Q has points where it lags along its run as well... the stint b/w canal st & atlantic av isn't exactly mach 1... every line has stints where it's slower than others...

case in point, the Q does not pick up about a half-an-hour on the R from 57th to dekalb... period... doesn't make a difference what silly little reasons you have for despising (hating) a trainset the R runs on...
