Posted by Concourse Express on Fri May 24 16:47:21 2013, in response to Re: tracks after 57th St/6 Av, posted by Edwards! on Fri May 24 00:17:57 2013. Interesting ideas you put forth here, Edwards!1]DIRECT connection to Nassau st line. I think this is still possible even with Deep Chrystie. Branch off S/O Grand St, connect to the former Nassau - Manny B ROW and reconfigure tracks b/w Chambers and Canal on the (J)/(Z)... As for platform extensions, you'd probably need ~65 feet worth at most - if indeed the plats can handle 8-car 67' consists w/o "overhang." 2]Manhattan Bridge. no direct connection to the Manny B from Chrystie st? Might be doable if MTA changes its mind later and revives Shallow Chrystie option. Cross-plat xfers at Grand plus possibility of switches b/w existing (B)/(D) ROW and SAS... 3]The Bronx. HELL YES, though I think you know where I'd go with this. SAS extension to The Hub and points north via 3rd Ave - agreed. However, I'd only extend it to Fordham Plaza/Fordham U. Methinks an extension of the Concourse Line is better suited for connections to the WPR el and Co-op City; while I've always championed an extension to Bay Plaza, going a lil' further to Section 5 (Einstein Loop) brings one within two short blocks of the proposed MNR Co-op City station! [I know these ideas may be far-fetched; a Bronxite can dream, can't he? ;-) ] visit my blog! |
