This is parallel to the Northeast Corridor in Sunnyside Yard.LIRR trains will depart from the NEC, then take this tunnel under Sunnyside Yard to the existing 63rd Street Tunnel. Once in Manhattan, trains turn the corner under Park Ave and the single track fans out to 4 on the upper level and 4 on the lower level at the station. Because the 63rd Street tunnel is only two tracks, there will only be one track in each direction. They are working on both ends of the 63rd Street Tunnel right now. TBMs are working in Queens, and miners are working in Manhattan on the station shell. |
