Yes. As of November 4, 2012, the entire 7 line is operational, from the Uptown end of the line (Flushing-Main Street) to the Downtown end (42nd Street-Times Square).
Keep in mind that there are still delays on all the functioning subway lines, so if you have to be on time for something, be sure to leave at least 15 minutes earlier than you normally would.
To get from Penn Station to Flushing Chinatown using public transportation, take the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) from Penn Station to Flushing Main Street. You can also take the 7 subway train from Times Square-42nd Street to Flushing Main Street. Both options will bring you to the heart of Flushing, where you can easily access Chinatown.

The stopping distance is increased on wet roads.There was no stopping the killer.The plane will be stopping at Dubai airport for refuelling.
Take the Uptown 1-2-3 (the red line), 1 stop, from 34th Street-Penn Station to 42nd Street-Times Square.Transfer at 42nd Street-Times Square to the Uptown 7train (the purple line). Take the Uptown 7 from the beginning of the line (42nd Street-Times Square) to the end of the line, Flushing-Main Street (at Roosevelt Avenue).
The train station near 138-60 Barclay Avenue in Flushing, NY, is the Flushing-Main Street station, which is served by the 7 train. The station provides convenient access to various destinations in New York City. Additionally, the area is also close to several bus routes that connect to other parts of Queens and beyond.
To get to the Bronx Zoo from Flushing, you can take the 7 train from Flushing Main Street to 74th Street-Broadway.

From there, transfer to the 6 train towards Pelham Bay Park and get off at the Bronx Zoo stop. Alternatively, you can also drive or take a bus, but public transportation is usually more convenient.
Compressed air is used in train braking systems to activate brakes on each train car simultaneously. When the engineer initiates braking, compressed air is released from the locomotive, causing the brakes to engage on each car through the train's air brake system, stopping the train.
Flushing is a neighborhood in the borough of Queens (New York City is made up of five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island). Flushing is located directly to the east of LaGuardia Airport, across the bay known as Flushing Bay. It is the last stop on the number 7 train (the purple line).
More weight behind the train therefore longer stopping time.
inertia
the train had square wheels.
Yes, it can. Train braking systems are not that powerful and a large train can take over a mile to come to a stop.Consider the physics. The kinetic energy of a train is given by: KE = 1/2 m v2The work to stop a train is F d, where F is the stopping force provided by the brakes and d is distance.So F d = 1/2 m v2. This tells you that if you double the speed of the train, you increase the stopping distance by 4 fold! If you double the mass of the train (the number of cars) you double the stopping distance.The web site below gives some figures on train braking distance.http://homepage.ntlworld.com/wilf.james/trains.htm
