Posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Fri Nov 29 08:03:10 2019, in response to MetroNorth Park Av track configuration questions, posted by gbs on Thu Nov 28 22:23:48 2019. Entering the portal at 97 St & Park Av, the four tracks are side by side. Do they remain like that all the way down to below 60 St when they start branching off? Where does the lower level of tracks begin? Do two of these four tracks become the lower level pair? The four tracks remain intact until they reach CP1 approx. at the location of the unused 59th Street platforms. From east to west the nos. are 3-1-2-4. There they split up into the ten trunk tracks for GCT. From east to west these are designated A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J. Tracks A-B-F and J descend to the lower level. Some of the tracks had nick names; A was subway, B was alley, C was outside and D was regular. On eastward (southbound) moves track F was designated as "below". A move from track 2 to track F was called as "2-below". This was the setup when I worked at Tower U back in the seventies. Today Track A is no longer in service. |
