Incidentally, there IS a way you can increase capacity east of 71 St.

1) Run a LOCAL train to Archer Av branch at 12 tph.
2) Run other Locals to 179 St
3) Run express to 179 st on the express track.

You get the credit for this because you made me think of it.


179th was a relay terminal, the last time I checked.

Incoming trains must be fumigated before entering the tunnel east of 179th. That limits each incoming track to 15 tph. Just how do you propose to handle 12 tph for the "other local" and the two express services, each at 15 tph?
