Could be good for midday, night, and rush hr breakdown layups too. There could be 3 tracks beyond 8th Ave to store 3 trains.Another option might be to reconfigure the existing trackage between 6th and 8th Ave stations. The middle track is currently a layup track. Link up the middle track to the current western diamond crossover location and convert it to a double slip switch set. Near 6th Ave, add another double slip or wye switch set. That should add a buffer to hold or let in/out trains waiting to enter or leave 8th Ave terminal. It should also reduce/shift downstream crossing in front of conflicts. |
