They sure missed a golden opportunity there. Instead of blowing money on that ESA station, they ought to have run the LIRR via the 63rd Street Tunnel's lower level onto the express tracks of the 6th Avenue or Broadway subways. For way less than the money they spent on ESA thus far, they could have run such trains as a loop around Manhattan by connecting them to the Atlantic Avenue branch via some new fancy connector too; and if they needed cars shorter than the Metropolitans for that service, they could have budgeted for that as well. Go figger.A bit too late to extend Metro-North to the Battery though. That is where the New York & Harlæm's terminal ought to have been, or at least be a through station with the CNJ/B&O at that location. |
