Re: 7 Going B Division

Yup
Basically, the Flushing Line has always been a B Division line operating IRT rolling stock.
It's simpler to do this, since any changes would require a massive outlay of funds(platforms, signals, new connections or rebuilding the Steinway tunnels to handle 10ft wide rail cars).

My take on this.
Another way this could have been done, was route the 63rd St line directly to the Flushing route by way of the Sunnyside Yards,reroute Astoria service to the Steinway. A new station within the yards could facilitate both routes plus a bypass line with limited stops across Central Queens.
Yeah yeah, I know it's fantasy, but why not?
