While the IND had a reputation for building a more efficient system than the privates, there are many places where they dropped the ball entirely. Qns Plaza should have been set up with a flying junction and wyes so that both local and express tracks can access both 53 St and the Crosstown Line. Canal St should also have been set up similarly so that both lcls and exps could access both the setup terminal at WTC and the tracks to the Cranberry St tube. Jay St and 50/6 likewise so that convenient access to both uptown Manhattan and Qns could be achieved much like the access to 63 St. Back to the bellmouths in Qns, since the Rockaways are a bit longer distance than Jamaica, the bellmouths for those connections should have been built like Van Wyck, the junction points at 135St, 59 St and 42/8 for maximum flexibility. |
