I can think of four things:(1) Court Sq wasn't an option for most of those years, it was Queens Plaza or 71/Continental. (2) The 63st Connector opened, and with it all the signalling was redone, along with removing the southbound connection from D3 to D5. As far as I can tell none of this should have had any effect on turning trains. (3) It's all controlled by a master tower nowadays. (4) They've renovated Queens Plaza station, perhaps they removed the crew rest area in the process. None of this seems like an insurmountable obstacle. TBH I bet the true reason they don't do it any more is: (5) They want people to forget that track connection exists, so that no one tries to put the G on Queens Blvd again. |
