Was there an easy transfer to the Flushing Line? My plan would have an empty train waiting for each LIRR shuttle train."Then why the hell aren't you just sending the train from Bayside all the way in if each train is going to be met by an empty one waiting!? Seriously man? You present lots of great historic numbers, but you have zero concept of reality or really anything that would make sense As for Atlantic Av: Yes, a new trunk line would be needed. NO, Atlantic Av is NOT it. LIRR needs to retain that for west end capacity. Cut and dry, end of story, get over it. The only readily available solution I see is either decking over/single tracking/time sharing the lower Montauk. On the western end you have 2 options: Time shared Bushwick branch into the proposed S 4th st station and tunnel from Houston St OR Montauk cutoff and dive down to hook into the F line just before the 63rd St tunnel I would do both considering you've got RBB and Hillside Av extensions to contend with, at minimum |
