Posted by R36 #9346 on Tue Oct 8 10:59:22 2013, in response to Old LIRR Rockaway Beach Branch, posted by andy on Tue Oct 8 08:44:34 2013. Here's another idea spurring off of this one:While SBS to LaGuardia is a feasible for the short term, a long term proposal would be to extend the Rockaway line itself to LaGuardia. So, here's what I'm thinking: Where the southern end of the line ends with a wye, have similar construction at the north end to the Queens Blvd line. One branch would accommodate trains going to/from Manhattan, the other would bend towards Jamaica. Then construct an elevated line over the Van Wyck Expressway north of Jamaica Yard, which would then travel over 126th Street to connect with both Citi Field and the Willets Point station on the 7 line, then go straight to LaGuardia Airport from there. |
