Re: 7 train switches

Posted by gbs on Sun Mar 15 20:33:14 2026, in response to 7 train switches, posted by LuchAAA on Sun Mar 15 18:28:00 2026.


The move ... had to be done this way

They could have done it like this: the out-of-service train could have proceeded Manhattan-bound over the switch to M track (as all the trains do now because of the GO), then have the t/o change ends, then proceed to Flushing.

Advantages:

1) while the t/o is changing ends, the following train could platform at 74 and its passengers could make their transfers, instead of waiting at 82 for the OOS train to reverse.

2) once the t/o has changed ends, it's straight forward, no need to go slowly over the switch.

I was actually surprised to hear that they did it the way you described.
