That to me would be the way to do it:You have 6-7 four-car sets of trains with a couple for emergencies perhaps stored inside the part of the tunnel not being worked on that can be brought out easily if needed or in the event work has to be done on that part of the tunnel the cars taken out of the tunnel and stored elsewhere. You could conceivably have a maximum of five trains running at any one time with 1st Avenue as the east (railroad south) terminal and 8th Avenue as the west (railroad north) terminal. That said, I would also during this time if possible use it to lengthen all of the Manhattan platforms to 600 feet as part of a long-term plan to eventually be able to run 10-car trains on Canarsie (this would require in most cases platforms being lengthened 65 feet or so since such platforms used to be able to handle trains of eight-car standards that were 536 feet in length). |
