Do you *like* your box?LIONS work outside of the box. When Second Avenue opens the complexion of Broadway changes. Express trains will operate via 63rd street and go over the bridge. Local trains will operate via 60th street and go through the tunnel. To do otherwise would require onetrain to pass in front of the other, perhaps twice even. LION objects to these unnecessary delays. Astoria, like it or knot can only access the 60th street tunnel, ergo it is LOCAL. It go through tunnel. Like it or knot, it is the 4th Avenue Local. It goes to 95th street. OK, let the (R) run 71 to 95, yes that is done now and yes, it works, but what then of Astoria. Bring back the (W)? You still have the problem of no north yard, and you still have no South Terminal. You can turn trains at Canal, you can turn trains at Whitehall, but there still is no terminal there. Ninth Avenue and 36th Street make the PERFECT terminal for the (W) even if you throw in some short terns at Whitehall, and do some layups at City Hall. Either way, the LEAST you will have to do is to CAPTURE the 36th Street yards for passenger services. C Division trains can relocate to the piers. They have a good track going there. A little emenient domain, and the pier is all yours. ROAR |
