Posted by Wayne-MrSlantR40 on Fri Sep 30 21:37:14 2005, in response to NYC Minimum Curve Radius, posted by stephenk on Fri Sep 30 20:22:58 2005. While the sharpest curve anywhere is in the 238 Street yard, those on the main lines can line up as follows:1) Second curve (left hand curve), entering City Hall loop on the #6. 2) Northbound #2 and #3 between Park Place and Chambers Street. Can't be more than maybe 5 chains radius. 3) "N" and "W" line north of Cortlandt Street (reverse curve) 4) "D" and "M" line as it enters the tunnel south of 36 Street-4 Ave. 5) #2 and #5 line north of Simpson Street. While not the sharpest angle-wise, it makes up for that in radius, or lack thereof. 6) #2 and #5 north of East Tremont Avenue 7) "J" northbound entering Cypress Hills 8) #7 southbound leaving Queensboro Plaza 9) #2 and #3 line southbound, entering Fulton Street 10) Northbound "J" line entering Chambers Street (reverse curve). There are many others also worthy of honorable mention, such as * "M" line leaving Myrtle Avenue * "J" and "Z" line at Crescent Street, and also at Alabama Avenue * "L" line southbound leaving Graham Avenue * "A" line southbound leaving 175th Street * "A" and "C" line south of Chambers St-H&M * #2 and #3 line just east of Clark Street * #5 line northbound entering 149 St-Mott Avenue * The South Ferry Loops wayne |
