Posted by William A. Padron on Thu Oct 10 15:41:44 2019, in response to Re: THE STUDY RELEASED-Re: Study of old Rockaway rail line’s revival back on track, posted by italianstallion on Wed Oct 9 19:10:04 2019. Something else to consider...What if Amtrak, the owner of Penn Station, does not want to give the LIRR track slots for the RBB service, if they are short trains as a possibility, given the ridership though. If is that case, they would have to go through ESA into Grand Central, or in worse case scenario, end service at Long Island City or Hunterspoint Avenue. In terms of the subway option, they would have go with the Queens Boulevard line, leaving from the bellmouths east of the station Woodhaven Boulevard, with supposed provisions behind the side local platforms for additional track space. Long shots for other provisions would be the planned Super Express route via the 63rd Street Tunnel (seen east of 21st Street-Queensbridge on the Jamaica-bound track) or the Queens Boulevard Line's bellmouth east of the Roosevelt Avenue station from the 1929 plan, which had a never-used upper terminal station near the 75th Street end and the route criss-crossing through Central Queens before reaching the RBB. Of course, if any of this happens, I doubt very much I will ever see this in my lifetime. -William A. Padron ["IND Second System"] |
