Posted by Broadway Lion on Mon Jul 23 07:54:43 2012, in response to Re: (Belated) Requiem for the R-44, posted by Bill from Maspeth on Sun Jul 22 22:01:22 2012. LION *knows* about the problem with the (R) terminal. The (N) would NOT have a yard at both ends, it lives in Coney Island. (Period)The (R) is also a BMT train, and the BMT has no yards in Queens. The (R) is the LOCAL [60th Street to Tunnel] and the 4th Ave Local happens to go to Ft. Hamilton. LION is LOTH to touch the nice shiny interlocking leavers on Broadway, that will only slow his trains down. What ever train you send to Astoria MUST use the 60th Street tunnel and therefore MUST be the LOCAL. The Local goe to Ft. Hamilton. End of story. LION will EXTEND the line from 95th Street under Fifth Avenue and build an underground yard there that can do overnight maintenance and cleaning. For major repairs the train goes OOS to Coney Island or to Jamaica, your choice. Layups at the north end of the route can be on the middle track. AS him has said, him will SATURATE the (R) with trains so that the good wildebeests at Astoria will never miss their express. Short terns can happen at City Hall, at Whitehall and at 9th Avenue, and there is a yard at 9th Avenue, and they will have no trouble getting in there. It is the Best the LION can do with what has been built, AND WITHOUT TOUCHING THE INTERLOCKING LEVERS IN MANHATTAN! ROAR |
