Taking over the freight line ROW (that is grade separated and built for two tracks) from Metropolitan Ave to would be much easier than building a spur from the 7 train.This line would serve communities with rail service that currently have none, and also provide convenient bus connections. For Example Metropolitan Ave... Current Freight ROW... Elliot Ave Grand Ave-57th Ave 51st Ave Queens Blvd Woodside Ave Roosevelt-74th St (In-System Connection) Northern Blvd BQE-GCP ROW... Astoria 82nd St GCP ROW... 94th ST-Terminal B Terminals C&D Northern Blvd Alongside Roosevelt Ave Mets-Willets Point Flushing Main ST in a new integrated subway terminal with the 7 train including an in-house connection to the LIRR, also a befitting LIRR train station for the town of Flushing. The hard part of the engineering job has already been completed. The bridge under Roosevelt Ave at 70th St, and the bridge over the BQE. The BQE bridge is perfect for an AirTrain like connection to LGA and for extension to Flushing Main St, and beyond. Freight trains can be re-routed up the Lower Montauk ROW. |
