Yes, but obviously, some of that could be reconfigured to allow for 75 foot cars on the Myrtle El portion more easily if it were part of a rebuilt Myrtle Avenue El and/or a Myrtle-Brighton line that would connect the Myrtle El to the Franklin Avenue El, rebuild the Franklin El section to two tracks and 500' platforms (and make Franklin Avenue itself a through station) and making full use of all tracks at Prospect Park since the line would be a 24/7 local to Coney Island, replacing the (Q) that would become a 24/7 express to Brighton (while the (B) would become a second Brighton local to Coney Island on weekdays.As part of getting rid of the grade crossing at Myrtle Avenue, the Myrtle-Brighton extension would include a new flying junction for the J/M/Z station from the current Myrtle El and also would allow for a connection to the Broadway-Brooklyn line from the Myrtle-Brighton line so when necessary, the (Q) could be sent that way (then via the (M) in Manhattan and possibly Queens) when there is a G.O. like the current one that has the (Q) terminating at Prospect Park (which is also why I'd be looking to make all platforms in that part of the Broadway-Brooklyn line 600 feet). |
