Posted by randyo on Sun May 19 18:25:45 2013, in response to Re: 9th Avenue LL Question, posted by renee gil on Sat May 18 04:30:34 2013. One of the things that I neglected to allude to in my posts on this subject is why the MTA didn't keep the upper level for use by M shuttles when they operated. AsI had mentioned, information I had indicated that the original Myrtle Av structure could have supported any piece of equipment that the NYCTS operated and since it was rebuilt during the dual contracts, the upper level at Bway/Myrtle would be even more likely to support steel equipment. Since Bway/Myrt upper did not have the station clearance problem of the other Myrtle stations, it would have been no problem for the platform to be cut back to accommodate 10 ft wide steel cars and for the old tail switch RR south of the station to be reinstalled. During hours, when through M service did not operate, the M shuttles could have operated into M2 tk on the upper level and reversed over that tail switch which could have been made an automatic switch like the one at Fkln/Fltn without interfering with mainline J service. When M service operated through, the upper level platform could have been closed off to passengers. |
