Either way, any train that would access the Rockaways via Qns Blvd would be coming from lower Manhattan with the possible exception of the M and even that is relatively close to down town. What could possibly be done is to run the M to Jamaica center as the Qns Blvd Exp and run the E as a Qns Blvd lcl to one of the Rockaway branches The only problem would come in during late nigh hours and weekends but if that were ever to happen the M would,probably have to become a full time service to Qns Blvd. Although I would like to see the old Rockaway branch reactivated there is one drawback and that is the bellmouths N/O 63 Dr provide easy access only to the Qns Blvd lcl tracks so attempting to provide an express service to the Rockaways which would be more desirable would cause congestion due to possibly having to switch an express service to the lcl tk N/O Roosevelt Av. |
