Posted by Dyre Dan on Fri Jul 31 14:33:50 2015, in response to A super crazy fantasy idea, posted by NIMBYkiller on Fri Jul 31 11:38:56 2015. A major problem with any attempt to connect NYP with the existing tracks at GCT is the third rail. All tracks heading east from NYP have LIRR-style over-running third rail, do they not? While GCT and the tracks leading north from it use under-running third rail. Also, can trackways heading into Grand Central from the south be built without undermining the lower level concourse? (The upper-level tracks are obviously ruled out, since they are at street level.) And isn't there a turn-around loop there? Maybe ripping out the turn-around loop would allow the space it occupies to be re-used for a southern approach to GCT. Would it then really become "Grand Central Station" again, since it would no longer be strictly a terminal?Or is it the new East Side Access tracks for the LIRR that "Alternative G" was going to connect with? |
