"I think the older setup may have had more capacity then what currently exists."

No. Capacity is pretty much identical on the lower level; service is improved in the global sense due to your being able to choose either the E or J (meaning you can travel in either direction).

"3 track line without a yard on one end has no more capacity then a 2 track line"

I assume you mean a tail track. What you are saying is that two tracks plus tails is equal to or better than 3 tracks and no tails. That seems reasonable.

In this case, if I recall correctly, the TA reduced the Jamaica Line to two tracks in the final stretch in Manhattan and of course it has only two tracks crossing the "Manny B."
