Posted by randyo on Sun Jan 29 15:57:37 2012, in response to Re: Euclid Ave Platforms (Back to 1904 with Post-War IND), posted by Edwards! on Sun Jan 29 00:10:47 2012. If the express stations on the Culver and West End lines were no problem, then Bway/Myrtle should be no trouble. The switches at Met would have to be moved since even prior to reconstruction, that was about the only station on the BMT other than Franklin Shuttle stations that couldn't even hold a full 8 car train of steels. Chambers on the Nassau Line may present a problem depending on how far back towards Canal St the platform can be extended since it can't be extended towards Broad St due to the curve at the immediate end of the station. FUlton has its own issues due to the narrowness of the street and the tight building line. At one point, Walder had proposed extending IRT Platforms to hold 12 car trains, especially on Lex, but that line also has issues since Grand Central is sandwiched between curves at both ends of the station. Chambers St on the 7 Av line would also present a problem since when it was extended to accommodate full 10 car R type trains, the south end of the platform had to be split and the north end is close to the switches. 96 St has a similar problem but in that case, the S/E of the station has a staircase the entire width of the platform as does Times Sq at the north end. Both those stations have issues with switches at the opposite ends of the platform from the staircases. |
