Several subway lines are rerouted or cut back this weekend for track, signal and electrical work, including the A and C between Brooklyn and Manhattan, the J and M into Manhattan and the 7 at Flushing-Main St, according to the MTA Weekender and the agency's real-time service alerts. Most changes run until 5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 16.
