Re: The case for a 125 St extension

Posted by FarRock on Thu Dec 9 06:22:55 2021, in response to The case for a 125 St extension, posted by BrooklynBus on Sat Nov 27 15:58:49 2021.

I've recently put some thought into an extension down 125 St that would benefit the IND and make it just as flexible as the IRT when it comes to east side/west side service. We can use the middle tracks, A5 & A6 of 135 Street IND and turn them into in to a ramp that curves under East and could connect to 125 St just east of Lenox then onto the planned terminal at Lexington Avenue. 4 Tracks for 125 St Lenox as a local station. Or we could Just bypass Lenox all together. When CPW is a mess, send trains up and down 6 Av & 2 Av and they get back on route uptown at 145 St and southbound at one of the many connections we have. Ex: W4, Jay, & Pacific depending on the route.

As for 24 hour service maybe "North" Lenox the tracks in the middle connects uptown and the local tracks against the wall keep going to 125 St St. Nicholas then terminate past Broadway. The question is would the 125 St Fault be a problem for digging in that area.
