Posted by J Trainloco on Fri May 24 13:26:33 2013, in response to Re: tracks after 57th St/6 Av, posted by 3-9 on Fri May 24 13:03:53 2013. As noted by AlM, the current merge of the A and C does not result in a bottleneck: the Cranberry tube can handle both lines with room to space (for the record, it's 18 A trains at 7 C trains at peak). However, even if that were to become a bottleneck, there is ample capacity in other existing tunnels that should be used first (namely, Rutgers and Montague), before sinking billions into a new under river tube. And if a new under river tube were to be built, it should be between Queens and Manhattan, not Brooklyn and Manhattan. |
