Posted by Wallyhorse on Mon Oct 5 09:01:21 2020, in response to Tuscarora Almanac for October 3, posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Sat Oct 3 14:21:49 2020. It was a shame what happened but I suspect the MTA didn't have the money to do the level of rebuild that would have been necessary to allow for bigger and heavier cars on the line:As said before, if it were rebuilt now, I'd be looking to do it where it would run the old route over two levels of single track (save for a few areas where the tracks become level to allow for crossovers) with a portal somewhere south/railroad north of Navy Street, most likely joining the Montague Street line either at Jay Street-Metrotech or railroad north of there at Court Street. This would likely have been done where ALL remaining existing stations on that line would be extended to allow for 600' trains while the stations along the old line would be consolidated considerably since these stations would handle 600' trains. Such a line can be a full-time (W) train that can run as it does now to Astoria on weekdays and in this case to Whitehall Street on weekends/overnights. |
