Posted by jamestrains1 on Mon Mar 21 16:44:59 2016, in response to Re: New details on East Side Access construction; photos, posted by JRice on Fri May 4 08:30:15 2007. The alignments of the Queens Super Express Tunnels/Tracks from the bellmouth to 43rd Street can be seen in this image. This image is from a very early plan for the East Side Access work in Sunnyside, as it shows the alignments for the cancelled NYCT Yard Lead, as well an alignment for a cancelled second LIRR Yard Lead Tunnel/Track.The final plan that was constructed included a single LIRR Yard Lead with a revised alignment, which may conflict with the alignments for the Queens Super Express Tunnels shown in this image, at 43rd Street. The Queens Super Express Alignment can be seen at the bottom right of the image near the words "43rd Street". The two horizontal lines that cross through the word "Street" are NYCT T1A (the Northern most of these two horizontal red lines) and NYCT T2A (the Southernmost of these two horizontal red lines).  The red lines are the centerlines of the tunnel/track alignments for each respective tunnel/track. NYCT T1A - Westbound Queens Super Express Track (not labeled in image) NYCT T2A - Eastbound Queens Super Express Track (not labeled in image) NYCT Lead - track to proposed NYCT yard in unused south eastern section of Sunnyside Yard Inbound Lead Track - Westbound LIRR Yard Lead Track (towards Grand Central Terminal) Outbound Lead Track - Eastbound LIRR Yard Lead Track (towards the midday storage yard) Track A - Westbound LIRR Track Track B/C - Peak Direction LIRR Track Track D - Eastbound LIRR Track |
