Posted by Wallyhorse on Wed Apr 20 15:55:28 2016, in response to Re: Brooklyn-Manhattan tunnels on (L) train to close in 2019, posted by AlM on Wed Apr 20 09:08:57 2016. Which is exactly why I would keep the Manhattan portion open and run a 1st-8th Avenue shuttle:It would be most likely 20 cars that would be needed: Three four-car sets running at all times (1 or 2 sets late nights) and two spares. When only one set is in use, two sets can be stored on whatever side of 1st Avenue is not in use for revenue service (1st and 3rd Avenues would be single-tracked at all times as the crossover is just west of 3rd Avenue unless an addition crossover can be built east of 1st Avenue) and the other two can be stored on the lay-up track. That to me makes sense. |
