I’m sure that when Nilet mentioned converting the Astoria Line for IRT operation, he implied that the platforms would have to be modified to close the gaps between the platform edge and the car bodies. There is another small problem however with the closing of the 60 St tube. While Corona Barn is an inspection and trouble barn, heavy main shop work for the Flushing fleet is done at CIY which the Flushing Line would be cut off from. That would mean that in the event of really heavy maintenance work, a connection would have to be built, if there isn’t one already, between Corona Yd and the LIRR and the cars would have to be dieseled to CIY via the LIRR and the Bay Ridge Branch like the Eastern Div cars were moved when the Willy B was closed. |
