Posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Thu Oct 3 18:28:21 2019, in response to Re: Lower Montauk Branch Passenger Rail Study (Final Report 2018) could cost over $2 Billion, posted by randyo on Thu Oct 3 17:37:02 2019. The MTA already mentioned making 36th Yd into a home yard for the T while the SAS was in the study phase, so it’s not like they will never even consider making it a yard for revenue service trains. If doing a reverse move on the 4th Avenue express tracks is such a problem, then they should build a track south of 36th St Station that connects from the northbound R local track to the Stillwell-bound D track, which would then allow yard-bound R trains to avoid the express tracks entirely.As for the maintenance barn, I don’t know if the SAS plans called for building one at 36th or have T trains deadhead to CIY for maintenance. If it’s the latter, I fail to see why the R can’t do the same thing. It’s no different than the G deadheading via the F to CIY or the M deadheading to ENY via the J. The only difference is the M has a storage yard at Fresh Pond Road. It’s still workable. |
