Actually I was thinking that even under the scenario of "shutting down both tubes" - that not actually both tubes are made not passable.One tube could indeed be shut down with construction work that requires the removal of tracks, etc. The other tube is available for crews and work trains, and if and when needed to allow the "Manhattan-based trains" to travel between Brooklyn and Manhattan for major service. In addition the middle track between Sixth Avenue and Eighth Avenue, besides being used as a lay-up track, could be used a repair track for any work that does REQUIRE the full capabilities of a repair facility. For example the replacement of smaller parts that can be carried to that station and installed, or the cleaning with mops/soap/water of train interiors and exteriors. (Yes, the days of not cleaning the trains as "rust prevention" are long over!) Then this would leave all but the most major of repairs for when the train HAS TO BE sent to a train yard. Just some thoughts. Mike |
