Posted by Wallyhorse on Tue Sep 16 02:30:34 2014, in response to Re: Rider's Wish List: (F) Brooklyn Express; Metro-North in Co-Op City; More rail service to Queens/, posted by Wallyhorse on Tue Sep 16 01:25:14 2014. Neglected in the first post to mention the other big part of this, the Rockaway Beach Branch:This to me is the much more important one because it can prove to be a game changer for entire stretch of the abandoned line and The Rockaways, PLUS give increased service to the Casino at Aqueduct AND to the Howard Beach station for the AirTrain to JFK. As noted before, since by the time that would be ready the SAS would be back, I would be doing changes already previously noted: The (W) would be the new Rockaway Beach Line, running from Whitehall Street to Rockaway Park at all times. The (R) would go back to being the 24/7 line to Astoria. To accommodate this and so the (R) has a yard, there would be a switch of southern terminals in Brooklyn with the (R) on that end being the West End line from Coney Island. The (D) would have its southern terminal at 95th Street in Brooklyn since it still has Concourse Yard. The (N) would become the supplemental line to Astoria from 5:30 AM-10:00 PM on weekdays. The rest of the time, the (N) would go with the (Q) to 96th Street and 2nd Avenue (later 125th/Lex) to supplement the (Q) on the UES, arguably the most densely populated area in the country. |
