NEW YORK CITY HEAVY RAIL
Middle Track in Brooklyn

An F train uses the middle express track in Brooklyn during weekend maintenance in this scene from the 1980s.  Passengers have long needed to be prepared for various improvement projects, as well as for any other unusual circumstances.  The PA announcements in the trains give all the details -- even if they traditionally have been virtually impossible to understand.  Resourcefulness and familiarity with the system are major pluses at these times.
