Years ago, the midnight Lenox shuttle ran between 145 St and 96 St. Prior to the west side resigning and the platform extension at 96 St there was a tail switch between the exp tks just S/O 96 St station. Lenox shuttles arrived on the S/B exp tk and relayed S/O the station. When the platforms were extended, the switch was within the station limits and was removed. It would actually still be possible for #3 service to be turned at 96 St by utilizing the diamond Xover N/O the station. In the early part of the operation, trains could be Xed over the the N/B exp tk to make it more convenient for N/B passengers transferring from trains arriving from lower and midtown Manhattan. Depending on when through Lenox service starts up, the operation could remain that way all night or sometime after 400 AM, the operation could be reversed and the Lenox shuttles could be brought in on the S/B exp take ac Xover to the N/B tk for the return trip making a more convenient transfer from Lenox passengers to through trains downtown since that would now be the time frame when S/B passenger loading would be expected to be greater than N/B. The signal arrangement at 96 St does allow for such a moves as they are fully signal protected. |
