Re: Myrtle Avenue EL

Only temporarily:

By the 1980's, there would have been pressure to use actual BMT-sized cars on the line, with the R-39s if they were built likely transferred to the IRT to supplement the R-62/As that were then the newest cars on the line.

The line would have had to have eventually needed to be rebuilt, and I suspect that might have happened in the early 1980's before the construction boom hit New York. This might or might not at the time have included building via a new tunnel a link between the Montague line and the Myrtle EL, though if not immediately, I suspect that would have eventually happened similar to what I would do in a rebuild today.
