Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Sun Sep 3 21:14:04 2006, in response to Jamaica Av EL Track Question, posted by RiverLINE3501 on Sun Sep 3 19:08:58 2006. As Victor said, there never was a third track on the Jamaica El except in 111th St as he mentioned, which was used to turn trains from the old Lexington El, and to store trains, and at 160th St which was used to store trains.The rest never got it. This is similar to the Livonia El, which also had a provision for an express track, yet never got it (aside from the yard lead at Junius St). Ironically, out of all the dual contract els that got their express track installed completely, and sit unused, the Jamaica El probably needed it the most (exception the Flushing line, which is the only one that needed it more), and ironically didn't get it. I guarantee that had the Jamaica express track been installed when it was supposed to, it would be a well used track to this day. |
