Posted by randyo on Thu Nov 6 12:52:05 2014, in response to Re: (RL) train service still sucks, posted by Broadway Lion on Thu Nov 6 07:49:40 2014. The problem with using 36 St Yd for R layups is that after the PM rush and prior to the AM rush, Put ins and layups would still have to turn on the N/B exp tk N/O 36 St blocking the mainline. Also. 36 St Yd does not have an inspection/maintenance facility so trains needing maintenance would still have to go to CIY anyhow. Access to a maintenance facility was the principal reason why in the 1980s, the south terminals of the 2 and 3 were changed so that the 3 would have access to N/Lts barn. Prior to that #3 trains were inspected.serviced at 240 barn requiring trains requiring maintenance/inspection to have to go from 148 St to 96 St and turn back to 240. |
