Posted by SLRT on Wed Jun 20 09:20:39 2012, in response to CTA plan ‘would not have happened on the Brown Line’ (CTA accused of racism), posted by Dand124 on Wed Jun 20 01:43:36 2012. I'm bothered by the trend to shutting down entire lines for rehab. Yes, it gets a lot of work done faster, but how eseential is transit, if you can feel comfortable not supplying service for such a long time?The Manhattan El was very proud of themselves for building the express tracks on the 2nd, 3rd and 9th without any interruption longer than (IIRC) 20 minutes, or so they claimed. When Manhattan Junction was rebuilt into what is now Broadway Junction, they ran trains through a loop in East New York Yard to maintain service. When the CTA moved the (now) Blue Line to the center of the Eisenhower Expressway, they ran the trains on a shoo-fly in the street rather than interrupt service. Not any more. |
