Its not common on the reason why this happened
this happened september 2nd do to a track fire (Q) trains ran via whitehall just like the (N) as they both ran over the (R) line and the (B) and (D) terminated at west 4th street

Actually thats common now because the Q switches to EXP tracks after 42 street They even announced it so that is why i took this video

the X80 bus is so special, it's not even on the map

anyway, the X80 is an express bus that goes to Randall's Island (similar to the M35)

Yep, I know. I paid another visit to 125th Street a couple of hours before your post and observed the signpost where the X80 would stop. But thanks for telling me anyway.  :)

A phone camera is still a camera. It works the same way, except that it's really small and compact compared to point-and-shoots and SLRs, plus most of the stuff in the camera is done automatically for you.

That's not all that rare or weird. Some (2)s and (5)s terminate or originate at New Lots Av or Crown Hts-Utica Av respectively because of spacial constraints on the Nostrand Avenue portion of the line.

Hmm...I didn't think of that.
I thought the reason I'm seeing rerouted 2 and 5 trains was because of the shortage of 3 and 4 trains, if that is a valid assumption to make.

On 11/5 (pictures taken at about 5-6 pm):
(5) trains were extended to Flatbush Avenue.

This is a error - (5) trains did not run express at any portion of Manhattan that day.

Brooklyn-bound (4) trains were running local after Union Square. They also ran on the Eastern Parkway Local and to New Lots Avenue.

And, of course, the (5) to Wakefield.

Finally, I boarded on a 149th-Street-bound (5) train yesterday.
