Posted by Broadway Lion on Sun Jul 22 21:18:46 2012, in response to Re: (Belated) Requiem for the R-44, posted by randyo on Wed Jul 18 16:11:52 2012. Originally, the Astoria was a BMT line, and the BMT had no yards in that part of Queens, so whatever served Astoria had to be serviced in Brooklyn. Since the Astoria was the LOCAL, it *had* to go to 95th Street.And there is the rub. LION would return the (R) Astoria to Fort Hamilton as the LOCAL 24/7. Him would saturate the line with as much traffic as it could bear, maybe short turn some at Whitehall, or City Hall (lower) as needed. Him would then send the (Q) to 125th Street and the (N) to 71st Street via the 63rd street tunnel. ALL EXPRESS TRAINS would be 63rd Street via Bridge ALL LOCAL TRAINS would be 60th Street via Tunnel. Period. ROAR! |
