Posted by NIMBYkiller on Fri Aug 14 00:26:56 2015, in response to A super crazy fantasy idea, posted by NIMBYkiller on Fri Jul 31 11:38:56 2015. So as an update:Some here were saying Plan G isn't viable because of underpinning at GCT. So what about sending ESA into tracks 1-5 at NYP? You could then implement 20 min headways on lines within a certain service area thru routing via Manhattan (not for regional connectivity as much as for efficiency). It goes along with my previous idea of providing 20 min headways at city zone stations on the LIRR. On the east end you have 20 min service originating at Freeport (via St Albans), Valley Steam (via Locust Manor), Belmont Race Track, and Bayside. On the west end you have Yonkers, Linden NJ, Vince Lombardi Park and Ride, and Paterson. I pick these because they all have either existing facilities nearby to stage trains or space to put in a facility nearby. All GCT service from the LI side is via these trains (so nothing from, say, Babylon, Ronkonkoma, or Port Washington would operate to GCT) since those tracks would be through routed to NYP 1-5 which I don't believe have access to WSY and because those trains continue thru NYP to the "western" termini. Bayside service via midtown only Freeport/Valley Stream/Belmont service via both midtown and downtown Yonkers/Linden service via midtown only Paterson/Vince Lombardi service via downtown only At Bayside, use Bay interlocking to turn trains and the MOW yard to store them Freeport has the staging yard Valley Stream has I believe a staging track Belmont has that big station Yonkers looks like there's some land north of the station to put a staging yard Linden looks like there's a yard that can be used to the south Vince Lombardi has space to put a staging yard Paterson could use what looks like the old freight terminal at the station |
