NOPE, you add LGA and nothing will happen. We need a yard for the Broadway Local, otherwise it would NEVER reach a yard.

Just tell the people in Astoria that we need to build this yard or else discontinue service on the Astoria Line at night and on weekends, that way we can use the line itself as our new yard.

You see, all of this has to do with the new Second Avenue Subway.
EXPRESS trains will run via Bridge and 63rd Street.
LOCAL trains will run via Tunnel and 60th Street.
Astoria can only access 60th Street ERGO it must be the LOCAL
The Broadway Local is also the 4th Avenue Local in Brooklyn, ERGO it must go to Ft. Hamilton.

Neither Fort H nor Astoria have a yard. They need to have a yard.
Extending Astoria to Con Ed will provide that yard

AND will allow the (R) train to be automated since it would no longer cross over or be used by any other route.

ROAR
