Today's Subway Fantasy |

Posted by rashidas on Tue Sep 5 12:05:42 2006, in response to Jamaica Av EL Track Question, posted by RiverLINE3501 on Sun Sep 3 19:08:58 2006. Here is today's subway fantasy: most of the elevated portions of NYC's subway are 70 years old or older and will have to be replaced or completely rebuilt eventually. Instead of replacing them with 100 year old technology why not replace them with AirTrain style trains using magnetic levitation style propulsion similar to a new line opened recently in Tokyo.Assuming the money were available (ha!) each el could be replaced by modern elevated concrete structures station by station starting from its terminus until eventually the entire line is replaced. This would minimize service disruption. Is this fantasy worth dreaming about? |
