Posted by Wallyhorse on Tue Nov 29 09:10:32 2016, in response to Re: Overnight R Train to Whitehall? Why?, posted by randyo on Mon Nov 28 15:47:01 2016. We've had quite a discussion elsewhere of bringing back the "BrownThe Jamaica line would actually be what the (J) was for a brief period after 9/11 in running from Archer Avenue-Jamaica Center to 95th Street-Bay Ridge, BUT with it being a split line where both the (J) and (K) terminate at Chambers and that being the transfer point between the two lines. The (J) coming from Archer Avenue would come in on the "downtown express" track at Chambers. A southbound (K) train would be waiting for it on the "downtown local" track and would leave once passengers have completed the cross-platform transfer between the two lines, with the (J) then doing the relays as it did for many years when it terminated there on weekends. The (K) coming from 95th Street-Bay Ridge would come in on the "uptown local" track. A northbound (J) / (Z) train would be waiting for it on the "uptown express" track and would leave once passengers have completed the cross-platform transfer between the two lines. The (K) would then doing the relay to the "downtown local" track immediately after the (J) / (Z) heading for Jamaica Center leaves Chambers to be in place for when the next (J) / (Z) train arrives at Chambers. The only exceptions to this format would be where: As this "Brown (K)" would be limited to a maximum of 8 TPH, during rush hours (when the (J) / (Z) are at 12 TPH), a limited number of (J) trains would be extended to Broad Street, terminating and starting back there during rush hours. (K) trains that are going to or coming from East New York Yard would either continue to or begin at Broadway Junction and run in service to and from there. That to me would work. |
