Re: Queens Super Express Alignment

*THIS IS A REPOST OF THIS POST WITH UPDATED URLS FOR THE IMAGES*



An early plan for the East Side Access work included a Track/Tunnel for NYCT that would lead to a yard in the southeastern section of Sunnyside Yard.

This image below shows the NYCT Yard Lead crossing above the LIRR tracks at the Norther Boulevard Crossing:


NYCT T1A - Westbound Queens Super Express Track
NYCT T2A - Eastbound Queens Super Express Track
NYCT Yard Lead - track to proposed NYCT yard in unused southeastern section of Sunnyside Yard
LIRR Track A - Westbound LIRR Track (there is a misprint in this image, as both LIRR Tracks are labled "LIRR Track A")


A second image from a later plan of the bellmouth, (after the NYCT Yard and its Yard Lead were cancelled) can be seen below:


NYCT T1A - Westbound Queens Super Express Track
NYCT T2A - Eastbound Queens Super Express Track
NYCT Yard Lead - track to proposed NYCT yard in unused southeastern section of Sunnyside Yard
LIRR Track A - Westbound LIRR Track
LIRR Track B/C - Peak Direction LIRR Track


Below is an early (circa 2000-2001) very "Not-to-Scale" rendering of the East Side Access Sunnyside Tunnels that shows the NYCT Yard Lead:


NYCT Yard Lead - track to proposed NYCT yard in unused southeastern section of Sunnyside Yard
Inbound Lead Track - Westbound LIRR Yard Lead Track (towards Grand Central Terminal)
Outbound Lead Track - Eastbound LIRR Yard Lead Track (towards the midday storage yard)
Track A - Westbound LIRR Track
Track B/C - Peak Direction LIRR Track
Track D - Eastbound LIRR Track
