I figured these types of proposals would come up. I admit I had been thinking along the same lines. I think the #4 from Utica to 149 St. would be the most used line. The #2 from Flatbush to 149 St. would complement it on the west side. Most likely, all service would be local, so that the express tracks could be used for storing unused trains. The A from 207 St. to Euclid would likewise run local, so no C. Some of the lines mentioned in the previous post do have short outdoor portions (#1 at 125 St, F and G at Smith/9th and 4th Ave.), so it might not be possible to run those sections. Likewise, the 7 from Times Square to Hunters Point would have to go outside to turn around. But perhaps standard elevated structures (like the 1 and the 7) would be OK, at least for short distances, since snow would fall right through the spaces between the ties. The Culver viaduct (F and G) is not like that, snow would accumulate on the concrete, so F/G trains could not go south of Carrol St. The sections which must be closed are the outdoor sections that are not standard els: Sea Beach and Brighton lines, Franklin shuttle, Rockaway lines, and the Dyre Ave. line. Running the 3 to 148 St. is probably out too. If els can run but outdoor non-el lines can't, would the #2 also have to end at 180th, due to the ground-level track between there and Bronx Park East? Could the M terminate at Fresh Pond? |
