Posted by Fisk Ave Jim on Sun Dec 14 17:21:59 2014, in response to Re: Queens Blvd, posted by gp38/r42 chris on Sat Dec 13 22:44:24 2014. edf40wrjww2msgDetail:detailStr fiogf49gjkf0d Never understood why the Astoria El got 3 tracks instead of 2. Years ago when they tried the W express from QBP, that did'nt work out, primarily a/c the 2 track terminus at Ditmars. Congestion there negated any time savings. I've heard that the original plan for Main St station was to be 2 tracks. Since 3 into 2 does not go in terms of flexibility & saving time, smarter heads prevailed in addition to local political arm twisting & the station was built with 3 & underground. But since the 3d track is there over 31st St., it would be very useful if the line in some way, someday is extended to LGA.
