"Regardless of what you accept or doubt, F trains indeed operated 18tph,until December of 1988."---------------- I was never arguing against 18 trains-per-hour ever being used on the F-train. I was not arguing against 18 trains-per-hour coming out of Queens where 179th Street is very capable of turning out that number, as well as the rush hour load of E-trains. The Queens end was never in doubt. I was wondering about the Brooklyn end. Since I know that F-trains enter service at Coney Island, Avenue-X, and at Kings Highway. There is a reason for that decades long practice. Even the A-train at 207th Street, gets help from the Dyckman Street yard access, where some rush hour trains start/end from there, in order to not clog the push-pull terminal with trains. On the #2 at 241st Street in the Bronx, the rush hour #5 was removed from that terminal and pushed down one stop to 238th Street-Nereid Avenue, in order to better than the train load, and not clog the terminal. There are other examples. I was trying not to be long-winded, but ended up not being clear. Mike |
