After the massive power outage on the F train this week — that was actually pretty scary — here’s a heads-up about the eight trains that will be running on planned a wonky schedule this weekend in Brooklyn.

And hopefully, no more unplanned, chaotic power outages will bust up this already modified schedule.

Here’s the headline thought: the A, C, D, F, G, J, N, and R trains won’t be running normally this weekend, from Friday night, June 9, through Monday morning, June 12. Check out the MTA’s map for more info.
