Posted by Avid Reader on Sun May 13 10:22:35 2007, in response to Re: May 11, 1975. . .End of the Culver shuttle, posted by RonInBayside on Fri May 11 22:32:39 2007. Here's a guess.At stations where the crossover is closer, like Queens Plaza, Northbound. If a "V" train is on the express track in the station, doors open and has the switches in its favor, an approaching "R" train must enter the station on the local track at a snails pace and may possible be stopped before fully entering. With the crossover placed a greater distance from the station, safety, in terms of distance are satisfied and the local can approach at a safer, faster rate, saving TIME! This is repeated through out the system. Canal street, north bound, same thing, "E" and "C". avid |
