Posted by randyo on Fri Oct 21 14:39:29 2016, in response to Re: Late Night R to Whitehall St, posted by italianguyinsi on Thu Oct 20 23:05:55 2016. No argument there. The problem is that in order for a layup to get from 95 St to 36 St Yd, a train has to go north to 36 St Xover to the exp tk (which can also be done at 59 St), relay on the N/B exp tk N/O the station Xover to the S/B exp tk and then over the West End tks to 9 Av middle change ends again to get into 36 Sy Yd. That requires blocking the N/B exp tk during the time that it takes to change ends N/O 36 St and to minimize the time blocking the track, providing an additional T/O to double end the move. The only other location that requires a similar move is a layup from Flatbush to N/Lts Yd but in that case, the changing ends can be done in the Nevins St spur, avoiding blocking any mainline tracks. Midday layups on the R can be accommodated by short turning the layups at 36 St allowing the train to be moved directly to 9 Av middle and not block the mainline, something that can’t be done in the PM since all service is needed through to 95 St. |
