Posted by jamestrains1 on Wed Aug 12 00:38:53 2020, in response to Re: Queens Super Express Alignment, posted by jamestrains1 on Wed Aug 12 00:35:29 2020. *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 |
