I always thought it was so they could lay up 4 and 5 trains on the southbound express track between Nostrand and Utica (the first train would actually be parked at the platform at Utica, probably operated in service to Utica, fumigated, then the crew moved on, then the other trains parked behind (after running to Atlantic and then running light from there on)). Looking back, it may have just been the case that the TA only wanted to run to Atlantic middays, and took advantage of the track space for layups (instead of running to Livonia yard, although I used to see some 4s and 5s layup at Livonia, some ran to Newlots in service, others light). |
