Posted by Wallyhorse on Sat Feb 18 09:21:20 2012, in response to Re: Queens Boulevard-Rockaway Line, posted by randyo on Fri Feb 17 15:13:45 2012. As previously noted, how I would handle that:(Q) runs as planned to 96th-2nd (later 125th-Lex) (D) and (R) swap Brooklyn trunk lines with both lines now 24/7 locals on 4th Avenue (there is nothing that precludes the (D) running to 95th since it has Concourse yard). (R) goes back to being a 24/7 line to Astoria from Coney Island (with the (R) using Coney Island Yard instead of Jamaica Yard). (N) continues to run to Astoria, but as a 16.5/5 line from 5:30 AM-10:00 PM Monday through Friday. Other times, the (N) runs with the (Q) on the SAS to bolster SAS service (terminating with the (Q) on the SAS as well). When needed, the (N) can be shifted back to Astoria outside of scheduled hours. (W) replaces the (R) along Queens Boulevard and connects to the Rockaway Branch at 63rd-Rego Park, running from Whitehall to Rockaway Park (with Rockaway Yard its home base), with some rush-hour put-ins/drop-outs at Canal Street. (G) goes back to running to 71st-Continental 24/7 and along with the (M) are both extended to 179th Street during rush hours, when the (F) would run its full QB route as an express and not switch to the local track. The (W) being the Rockaway line from Queens Boulevard to me is the best option if this connection does happen with the (R) being back to being full-time to Astoria and the (N) going to Astoria on weekdays and with the (Q) nights and weekends. |
