Posted by Wallyhorse on Tue May 10 21:29:24 2022, in response to Tuscarora Almanac for May 10, posted by IRTRedbirdR33 on Tue May 10 07:08:19 2022. The sad thing is, had that line been maintained, it could have today been a much more viable line and now possible been a full-time route for the (W) to run to Coney Island with the (F).I've noted before I'd be looking to rebuild the line, where necessary moving it to a new right-of-way and also if necessary using two levels of single track with either island platforms or if needed two platform levels on the same side to allow for ADA requirements. This would include northbound a new upper level of Ditmas Avenue with such trains using a bridge build over the existing tracks just north of Ditmas to get to the old route (southbound, what had been the island platform at Ditmas from the old shuttle days would be such again). As said, this could be a potential new route for the (W), operating via the tunnel and 4th Avenue to 36th where it then goes with the (D) to 9th Avenue (lower level, reopened as well) and then via Culver. |
