Does it not have to do with the arrangement of how the Queens trains are so deep under 53rd st, that they needed to a) have a second level at the 50th st local stop, and b) lessen the grade of the Queens trains rising to meet the main local tracks?As far as Penn Station is concerned, it has already been noted here that the IND was just doing what the IRT had done twenty years before - separate local/express platforms because the station was going to be busy enough, and they did not want to have cross platform transfers at all. |
