Posted by AlM on Wed Feb 10 11:08:35 2016, in response to Re: Canarsie trains via Broadway-Brooklyn during (L) tunnel shutdown, posted by Bill from Maspeth on Tue Feb 9 19:34:41 2016. Trains come in to 3 Av on the single track that is in use, possibly crossing over between there and USQ, then come in to USQ and discharge all passengers.It's 4000 feet from USQ to 8 Av. That holds 8 trains on each track west of USQ. These are trains without passengers so you can run red signals at a few mph to stack them in tightly. You can hold another 4 trains on the unused track between 3rd Ave and 1st Ave (the track whose tunnel is being worked on), and the final 2 trains within USQ station itself. That's 22 trains. The track between USQ and 3 Av is held clear for switching maneuvers. I'm sure it's unrealistic and cumbersome but it's not impossible. |
