I think if the 1958 plan to build a bypass track on Jamaica Avenue between Broadway Junction and Cypress Hills and then third track the rest of the Jamica El had been done, the enitre line would be a very good way to bring Eastern Queens and LI commuters into Manhattan and relive the LIRR and Queens Blvd lines. And with the Chrystie St cut, there could even be Midtown Direct service--express all thw way from 168th (or Parsons/Archer) to Essex St.

Alas, not only was this not done, but 10 years later, plans to elimiante the AJamica El were in process...Oh well.
