Posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Wed Feb 10 14:30:55 2016, in response to Re: Canarsie Line During (L) Tunnel Shutdown/Atlantic Avenue (L) station, posted by Stephen Bauman on Wed Feb 10 12:29:10 2016. That's 244 cars in total, although I believe four cars out of the 212 R143s are permanently out of service due to a crash in Canarsie Yard that caused significant damage to one of them. So it's really 240 cars. Even so, 192 is what they need for the present, full-length L service. They won't need that many when the tubes shut down. If they shut down just one tube at a time, they'll have to run significantly reduced service in both directions due to single-track operation between Bedford and 3rd. If they shut both down at the same time, they would be unable to operate L service in Manhattan because they would have no way of getting trains in and out of the 14th St section with no track connection to any other line in Manhattan. Either way, subway cars will be freed up. |
