The airport terminal - obviously high volume for both incoming passengers and those leaving the airport.Would need maybe a three track, three platform terminal - full length - 600 ft. for ten car trains (longer platforms if accessible also for LIRR service) to handle those going to the airport and leaving it. If it was for both, subway & LIRR wouldn't FRA regs. have to be taken into account? Interesting that plans were for a single track tunnel for this junction not 2 tracks (am I understanding this right?) Did the plans state the route of the ROW into Kennedy? Or was it obvious from looking at the plans where the ROW would have been built. And the inspection shed - I'm assuming that the plans took into account available land for this? Five stations? Did the plans state their locations? Bus routes would have needed to be changed or added. Also within the city limits, station parking might be limited? Again, how would this additional service/volume affect the already heavily used IND Queens line? It would be "very interesting" to find out what happened to the original plans - discarded, squirreled away in some storage room somewhere, or in someone's private collection. |
