If I recall, the switch configuration S/O Armitage doesn’t permit switching to the outside tracks even if CTA wanted to do it. Although I am a fan of CTA, I always felt that the connection from the subway to the el structure at Armitage was done incorrectly and instead of connecting the original lcl and exp tks and bringing the subway tracks into the middle, the subway tracks should have been brought up between the lcl and exp tks in a wye configuration similarly to they way the West End tracks connect to the 4 Av subway at 36 St. The structure had to be modified anyhow, so why not do it in a more efficient manner? |
