THERE ARE NO EXPRESS / LOCAL Tracks on 6th AVENUEOn sixth Avenue you have Bronx tracks and Queens tracks. The Quees tracks happen th have two more stops than the Bronx Tracks which did not originally exist. In days of old 24th Street was terminal for the (F) While the (D) Continued on to Brooklyn... in those days via the Culver Line. LOOK at the 1960s vintage maps... 14th and 23rd streets WERE LISTED AS EXPRESS STOPS. When new tunnel was builded along 6th Avenue, below the IND and the PATH they dispensed with those two stops, after all they were sharing space with the PATH (which was there first). So ditch the idea of exp tracks on 6th. They are BRONX and QUEENS tracks. NOW THEN... Could the (D) move over to the Queens side to pick up those two stops. Yes, they could do that, and do do that when is problems., but no. they will not bother just on the overnights because that would require tower operators. ROAR |
