Posted by G1Ravage on Wed Mar 7 19:38:27 2012, in response to Re: Service may end for last five stops on (G) train, posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Wed Mar 7 13:34:12 2012. Honestly, I doubt they'll cut the (G) back. For numerous reasons.Here's a few: -4th Avenue Tower is closed. I believe the interlocking has been modified since the project began, and I doubt they're spending money to alter the tower machine. There was supposed to be a new master tower built at Church Avenue, but I've heard nothing of its status or future. In essence, I don't see anything being moved at 4th Avenue interlocking any time soon. -A lot of money was spent to build new crew facilities and a new dispatcher's office at Church Avenue. If they cut the (G) back, they'll go unused until god knows when. -The (G) now runs equipment from Coney Island Yard, the line was moved to the "South" for the purpose of employee picking, and the work program was changed up so that all (G) crews now have to report to Church Avenue rather than Court Square. If the (G) is cut back, all crews will again have to go to Court Square, which might encourage management to move the line back to the Queens district. Basically, the only way I see them cutting the (G) back again would be if they find the cost savings to be important enough to make it look good to them. They honestly do save a lot of money with the (G) only going to Smith - 9 Streets. |
