They built it expecting a 3rd track when they eliminated.the Herricks Road crossing. That was because of the van/train accident in the early 1980's.The excuse they gave the local NIMBY's was that was to relay the Oyster Bay shuttles. In the 1980's many off-peak Oyster Bay trains were shuttles, and relayed at Queens Village. The first AM rush train today is a remnant of that. Also saves a train set. They could not then admit that was to be the eventual 3rd track, so they lied. |
