Cut their losses & give the line to the IRT. Re-connect tracks at Atlantic Ave, open up Woodhaven, install signals, have a dedicated platform & turnstiles at Jamaica so you have direct, quick one seat ride to downtown Manhattan. This too will free up some LIRR equiptment for increased service needs demanded by the opening of the ESA & 3d track of the main line & double track to Ronkonkoma.One problem with that is that communities along the ROW especially on the el will clamor for added stations and will not stand for a bus to train option. Building a station or two on the el is not a problem, but the Atlantic Ave subway would be very costly. Bill Newkirk |
